AVAILABLE22 platformsSIGN-UPEmail, X or a walletCRYPTOLegal
22 platforms sign a trader in Costa Rica up with an email, an X account or a wallet, and none of them asks for identity documents before the first trade. A fiat on-ramp still verifies identity, so the document step moves to the on-ramp.

Choose Buy / Long, then set size and leverage
A $1,000 position at 5x uses $200 of collateral. Higher leverage moves the liquidation price closer to your entry: your exposure is the position size, whatever margin you posted. Set a stop-loss before you walk away.
