The 2-Minute Way to Explore 15+ Cryptocurrencies on Paybis (Beyond Litecoin)

Key Takeaways

Paybis supports 80+ cryptocurrencies beyond Litecoin, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, stablecoins like USDT and USDC, and DeFi tokens like Chainlink and Polygon. The buying process is identical for every coin: 2-minute verification via photo ID and selfie, instant card payment (first purchase = $0 Paybis fee), and transparent fees shown before you click buy. All assets arrive in your secure Paybis wallet within 15 minutes or can be sent to your external wallet immediately. Registered with FinCEN, we operate in 180+ countries with 24/7 support in 9 languages.

You came here looking for Litecoin. Smart choice, it’s fast, reliable, and perfect for everyday transactions. But here’s what most people don’t realize: Paybis supports 85+ cryptocurrencies, and buying any of them takes the same 10 minutes it takes to buy LTC.

The same credit card you’d use for Litecoin works for Bitcoin, Ethereum, stablecoins, or any other asset on the platform with identical verification, process, and fee transparency.

This guide shows you the full range of assets available, explains what each category does in plain English, and walks through the exact 4-step process that works for all of them.

Why Look Beyond Litecoin?

Litecoin delivers fast transaction speeds and lower fees, making it ideal for everyday payments and microtransactions. But the crypto ecosystem offers specialized tools for different jobs.

Stablecoins protect you from volatility. When Bitcoin drops 8% overnight and you want to preserve your value without cashing out to fiat, stablecoins like USDT maintain a $1 peg for instant value protection.

We give you access to all of these categories using the same simple process. No need to create accounts on multiple platforms. No learning curve between assets.

Top Cryptocurrencies You Can Buy Instantly on Paybis

Paybis supports 85+ cryptocurrencies across major coins, stablecoins, and DeFi tokens. We added 11 new assets in 2024, including Ethereum Classic, Arbitrum, Optimism, and PEPE. Here’s how they break down into understandable categories.

Major Coins: Bitcoin, Ethereum, and More

These are the established cryptocurrencies with the largest market caps and longest track records.

  • Bitcoin (BTC): Bitcoin allows peer-to-peer transactions without intermediaries, functioning as digital gold with its 21 million coin limit.
  • Ethereum (ETH): Ethereum introduced smart contracts—self-executing code with terms written directly into the blockchain. This powers decentralized applications (dApps) that run without central control, from lending platforms to digital art marketplaces.
  • Litecoin (LTC): Litecoin delivers faster transaction speeds and lower fees than Bitcoin, making it ideal for everyday purchases and small transactions.
  • Ripple (XRP): XRP facilitates cross-border payments, processing transactions at 1,500 per second with settlement times under 5 seconds.
  • Solana (SOL): Solana processes thousands of transactions per second with low transaction fees, making it popular for DeFi applications, NFTs, and microtransactions that need speed without expensive processing costs (called “gas fees” on Ethereum).

Stablecoins: USDT, USDC, and DAI

Stablecoins solve the volatility problem by maintaining a stable $1 value backed by reserves.

Tether (USDT) and USD Coin (USDC): Both maintain a peg to the U.S. dollar, with each token backed by equivalent reserves in U.S. dollars or other assets. USDC offers transparent, regularly audited reserve backing by major accounting firms. When you want to exit Bitcoin during a price drop without cashing out to your bank, stablecoins let you preserve value instantly. We also support USDT and USDC on the Polygon network for faster, cheaper transactions.

DAI: The MakerDAO protocol creates DAI, maintaining a $1 USD peg, but unlike USDT or USDC, it’s decentralized and backed by other cryptocurrencies like Ethereum.

DeFi Tokens: Chainlink, Polygon, and Others

These tokens power specific applications in the decentralized finance ecosystem.

  • Chainlink (LINK): Chainlink provides decentralized applications with access to reliable real-world data. Smart contracts need information that exists outside the blockchain like weather data, stock prices, or sports scores.
  • Polygon (MATIC): Polygon scales Ethereum using Layer 2 sidechains, enabling faster and cheaper transactions. Its native token MATIC powers the network, allowing users to interact with Ethereum applications at a fraction of the cost and speed.
  • Arbitrum (ARB) and Optimism (OP): Both reduce Ethereum transaction fees through Layer 2 scaling. If you’re exploring DeFi applications on Ethereum, these tokens let you participate at lower cost.

Understanding the Paybis Wallet: Custodial vs. External

When you buy crypto on Paybis, you decide where to store it: in the Paybis custodial wallet (we manage security) or your own external wallet (you control the private keys). Understanding the difference helps you pick the right option.

What is a custodial wallet?

A custodial crypto wallet is one where we store your private key on our servers. This means you trust us to keep your digital assets safe while we manage the security.

Think of it like a bank account: we handle the backend security (cold storage, encryption, backups) while you access your funds easily through email login. You access your assets through email, no private keys or seed phrases to manage.

Custodial wallet benefits:

  • Easy recovery: Forgot your password? Reset it through email. No risk of permanent loss like with a seed phrase.
  • Beginner-friendly: Setup takes seconds. No technical knowledge required.
  • Provider security: We use Multi-Party Computation (MPC) technology, distributing the private key among multiple parties. Even if one party is compromised, attackers cannot reconstruct the full private key.
  • Cold storage protection: We store the majority of user funds in cold storage facilities secured with MPC technology.

External wallet benefits:

  • Full control: You hold the private keys. No intermediary can freeze your account or restrict transactions.
  • Higher privacy: Many external wallets require no personal data.
  • Self-custody: Aligns with the core crypto principle of decentralization.

Our wallet supports over 80 coins and networks, and you can always send your crypto to another wallet with no restrictions or withdrawal fees apart from standard blockchain network fees.

“This platform should be advertised more so it’s easier for us older people to use. I find your way of sending crypto so very easy. It’s not 50 different steps like other Coinbase platforms.” – Verified user review of Paybis

For beginners, the custodial wallet removes the risk of losing a seed phrase while still allowing you to withdraw to external wallets anytime. Learn more about wallet security in this Paybis safety review video.

Fee Structure: What You Pay to Buy Litecoin

We show a detailed breakdown of fees before you confirm your transaction. Here’s exactly what you pay when buying Litecoin or any other cryptocurrency.

Fee Breakdown by Payment Method

Payment MethodServiceProcessing
Credit/Debit Card (First Purchase)0%4.5% (over $50 USD/EUR/GBP/JPY)
Credit/Debit Card (Subsequent)2.49%4.5% (over $50) or $2-3 flat (under $50)
Bank Transfer (SEPA)0.99%0.05% or minimum €2
Skrill/Neteller2.49%Varies by currency/amount (e.g., 4% for €0-99)

We typically impose a $2 USD minimum Service Fee to cover operational costs. For smaller transactions, this minimum may constitute a higher percentage.

Network fees explained:

Miners charge the Network Fee to confirm transactions on the blockchain. This fee varies depending on market demand for the specific cryptocurrency and applies per transaction, regardless of amount. We pass this cost through, we don’t profit from network fees.

Example: Buying $500 of Litecoin with a credit card

First purchase:

  • You spend: $500.00
  • Service Fee: $0.00 (first purchase promo)
  • Processing Fee (4.5%): $22.50
  • Network Fee: ~$3.00
  • Total: $525.50

Subsequent purchases:

  • Service Fee (2.49%): $12.45
  • Processing Fee (4.5%): $22.50
  • Network Fee: ~$3.00
  • Total: $537.95

Different payment methods have different associated costs. For instance, bank transfer payments are generally less expensive to process compared to cards, but they take 1-3 business days unless you use Instant SEPA, which completes in less than a minute.
