A Simple Swap allows VALR customers to buy any cryptocurrency directly with USDC or ZAR (or sell any cryptocurrency to receive USDC or ZAR).
Simple Swaps pair two liquid markets together in order to bring you a seamless experience of buying or selling any cryptocurrency on VALR directly with USDC or ZAR. Simple Swaps uses USDC, USDT, or BTC as a bridge currency to enable your trade. For example, if you wish to buy ADA (Cardano) with ZAR you can now do that on VALR. To enable this, VALR automatically trades ZAR for any of the bridge currency (USDC, USDT or BTC) and then to ADA.
Please note that Simple Swaps encompass two trades. One to swap the asset you have for a bridge currency and then a second to swap the bridge currency for the asset you want. You will see both transactions in your transaction history when a Simple Swap is executed.
