How do I make a profit from crypto investing on Pluang?

You earn a profit on Pluang when you sell a crypto asset at a higher price than your average buying price — the gap between the two, multiplied by the units sold, is your realized gain. Crypto prices are volatile, so profit is never guaranteed and losses are equally possible.


How crypto profit is calculated:

  • Profit = (selling price − average buying price) × units sold.
  • Your average buying price is the weighted average cost of all your purchases of that asset.
  • Because crypto prices move with the market, there's no fixed or guaranteed return — value can rise or fall between your purchase and sale.

Related questions:

Q: Is crypto profit guaranteed on Pluang?
No — crypto prices fluctuate with the market, so gains and losses both depend entirely on price movement, not any fixed return.

It's the weighted average cost of all your crypto purchases for that asset, shown on the asset's portfolio page.

Q: Can I lose money investing in crypto on Pluang?
Yes — if you sell below your average buying price, the difference is a realized loss.

Q: Where can I track my crypto profit or loss?
Check the Portfolio page in the Pluang app, which shows both unrealized and realized profit/loss per asset.
