Looking to grow your crypto portfolio without the stress of timing the market? Coinmetro’s Auto-Invest (Dollar-Cost Averaging, or DCA) plans let you buy crypto automatically on a schedule that works for you. With just a few clicks, you can set up recurring purchases of your favorite assets and steadily build your holdings over time.
✅ Benefits of an Auto-Invest (DCA) Plan
Auto-Invest takes the guesswork out of crypto investing. By using Dollar-Cost Averaging (DCA), you invest a fixed amount at regular intervals, no matter what the market is doing. This helps smooth out price volatility, removes the stress of trying to time the market, and builds your portfolio steadily over time. It’s a simple, hands-off strategy that makes investing more consistent, disciplined, and beginner-friendly — all while giving you peace of mind.
