How do I sell my cryptocurrency?

Customers in Kenya are currently unable to buy or sell from the Portfolio screen. You will need to buy or sell crypto on the Luno Exchange instead.

Selling your crypto is simple as choosing the crypto you want to sell, the currency you want to sell for and entering the amount you want to sell. When you’re ready, follow the steps in this article.

Here's how to sell your crypto

Sign in to your Luno account, then:

  1. Select Portfolio from the menu

  2. Select SELL

  3. Choose the crypto you want to sell

  4. Choose the currency (local currency or crypto) you want to sell for

    Note

    Customers in Malaysia and Indonesia can only sell crypto for local currency (fiat). Crypto-to-crypto conversions and transactions are not available.

  5. Enter the amount you want to sell and select NEXT

  6. Review the transaction details, including the service charge fee, then select CONFIRM if you’re happy

  7. If you’re using the Luno app, you’ll need to enter your Luno PIN to finalise the transaction

That’s it! You’ve sold some crypto.

Tip

Did you know Luno has a price alerts feature? You can set this up to notify you if your crypto reaches a price that you were looking to sell it for.
