Five Euros to Start: How Quppy Is Rewriting the First Step Into Crypto

The Message That Changed the Conversation

A few months ago, a new Quppy user wrote to our support team with a simple message:

“I want to try crypto, but I don’t want to risk €50 just to see how it works.”

It wasn’t the first time we heard this. And it probably won’t be the last. For many people, crypto isn’t frightening because it’s complex — it’s intimidating because the first step can feel expensive. High minimums, visible and invisible fees, and the fear of making a costly first mistake often stand in the way.

We kept noticing the same pattern. Curious users. Careful users. Thoughtful people who wanted to explore digital finance, but on their own terms.

So we decided to change the terms.

When the First Step Feels Too Big

Crypto has matured, but the user experience hasn’t always kept up. Too often, people are asked to commit significant amounts of money just to get started. That creates hesitation at the exact moment when confidence should be built.

A high minimum deposit doesn’t just set a price — it sets a psychological barrier. It tells users that crypto is for the bold, the experienced, or the well-funded.

We don’t believe that’s true.

We believe crypto should be for the curious as well. For the cautious. For the everyday person who simply wants to try, learn, and decide for themselves.

Removing the Silent Costs

Starting today, card top-ups on Quppy come with 0% commission.

No small print. No temporary campaigns. No value quietly shaved off during the transfer. The amount you choose to deposit is the amount that arrives.

This matters more than it seems. Fees don’t just reduce balances — they reduce trust. And trust is the foundation of any financial relationship.

By removing commissions, we removed a layer of doubt from the process.

A Smaller Number, A Bigger Impact

The more radical change is the new minimum.

We reduced the card top-up threshold from €50 to €5.

On paper, it’s a simple update. In practice, it changes how people approach crypto. Five euros is not a commitment; it’s an exploration. It’s the price of a coffee, a small online purchase, a harmless test.

It allows a student to experiment. A freelancer to move small amounts. A first-time user to test speed and reliability without pressure.

It turns crypto from a leap into a step.

Built for Real Life, Not Just Markets

Quppy was never designed as a platform only for traders or professionals. People use it to hold funds, manage IBAN accounts, send transfers, and move between crypto and fiat as part of daily life.

For crypto to fit into real life, access has to be practical. Flexible. Fair.

Lowering the minimum and removing fees are not marketing tactics. They are product decisions rooted in a simple belief: financial tools should meet people where they are.

A Door, Now Open Wider

Some users will still top up large amounts. Others will start with €5 just to see how it feels. Both approaches are valid. Both are welcome.

What matters is that the door is open wider now.

If you’ve been watching crypto from the sidelines, waiting for it to feel practical, safe, or reasonable to try, this might be your moment. Not because of hype, but because the cost of starting is lower than ever.

Five euros. Zero fees. A simple beginning.

And sometimes, a simple beginning is all it takes to start a new financial story.
