Things to know before buying CoinGecko in the United States

In the U.S., cryptocurrencies are legal but regulated. You must complete KYC/AML verification when using platforms like OKX. Cryptocurrencies are subject to taxes; profits from selling or trading are considered capital gains. Income from activities like staking may also be taxable.

You can obtain CoinGecko through airdrops, where free tokens are distributed to users. Participate in Learn-and-Earn programs to earn tokens by completing educational tasks.

How can I store my CoinGecko?

To keep your CoinGecko safe, you can use custodial wallets like those on OKX, which are easy but require trust in the platform.
