How to sell your crypto assets for fiat currency in MetaMask
Does this article need to be translated?
You can now sell your crypto directly within MetaMask Portfolio or MetaMask Mobile. This feature is only available for ETH on Ethereum Mainnet for now, but we plan to add more tokens in the near future, so stay tuned.
The availability of providers for selling crypto varies between countries/regions. If you're unable to sell crypto in MetaMask, see here for some alternative options.

How does it work?
Selling crypto in MetaMask involves using an aggregator of providers, making the process accessible, fast, scalable, and more secure.
When you enter how much ETH you want to sell, MetaMask's integrations with our vetted providers will spring into life, and fetch you quotes from each. These quotes automatically refresh to get the latest exchange rate from the providers, to account for the fluctuations in crypto prices, ensuring you have real-time visibility of market prices.
Since you input your region and currency during the process, the quotes you're presented with are automatically configured for your circumstances: so no need to worry about whether you'll be able to use the available withdrawal methods in your region, or whether your region is supported by that provider. If it appears on the quote list, you will be able to transact as quoted. Easy.
How do I use it?
- Head to MetaMask Portfolio and connect your wallet. You can access the page directly from MetaMask Extension by selecting the 'Move Crypto' menu, and clicking the 'Sell' button. You can also sell in MetaMask Mobile without leaving the app:
- Extension
- Mobile
Go to the 'sell' tab and, if it's your first time, click 'Get started':
Tap the wallet actions button on your homepage, and then tap 'sell'
-
If you're a first-time user, you must select your region. If you've used this feature before, the app skips this step and uses the region you selected last time, which is saved in local storage.
From the drop-down menu, search or scroll until you find the country where your bank account is registered. US users will then be able to select their state.
If your region is not currently covered by at least one of our providers, we'll let you know at this point. You can read more about other ways to sell crypto here.
