You need to choose an exchange that offers to trade in USD. For new bitcoin investors, I recommend looking at Coinbase, Gemini, GDAX, Bitstamp, and CoinMama. You can review the pros and cons of each in our guide at Beginner’s Guide to Buy Bitcoin – Choose a Bitcoin Exchange.
Coinbase is the easiest one to use and offers some of the lowest credit card transaction fees in the industry. You can learn more about Coinbase in the Ultimate Guide to Using Coinbase for the First Time – Buy Bitcoin Guide. However, if you are purchasing with a bank transfer or want some additional features, there are reasons to use Gemini, GDAX, Bitstamp, or CoinMama.
If you are looking to buy cryptocurrency beyond bitcoin, ethereum, and litecoin, you will need to look at other exchanges. One option is to purchase bitcoin, ethereum, and litecoin, and transfer it to another exchange like Bittrex or Binance. Another option is to try Kraken, which has USD deposits and trades in a lot more cryptocurrencies than the exchanges I mentioned above.
