Exchanging crypto abroad

[Donner]

If you’re traveling or living abroad, how do you exchange crypto into fiat? Do regular exchangers work internationally, or do you need to look for special local services instead?

I’ve exchanged crypto while abroad, and many services still work fine internationally. The key difference is in payout methods, since some banks or cards aren’t supported everywhere. Before exchanging, I usually check what’s available. Using an online crypto exchanger (https://www.trustchange.com/) makes it simple to find suitable options for your region. That way, you don’t waste time testing random platforms and can directly see which ones handle payouts where you are.

In my experience, some of the larger exchanges like Binance, space waves (https://spacewaves.io) or Coinbase allow you to withdraw, but it really depends on the country's regulations and whether your bank accepts such transfers. In some places, I have had to rely on P2P trading instead of direct withdrawals.

That's a great question! I've been in that situation. While some major platforms do work internationally, fees can be killer. I found it much easier to locate local crypto communities and ask for recommendations. They often know the best, low-fee options available. If you're just starting out with crypto, the tutorial on Basketball Stars (https://basketballstarsfree.io) is a really helpful resource to understand the fundamentals before you start exchanging.
