With addition:
How do I use/fund Abra from the Philippines? I wanted to buy BTC and ETH. Heard from someone that it can be done through a local pawnshop. Any other ways available like Western Union or bank transfer from BPI (Bank of the Philippine Islands)?

I’m looking at alternatives to the really congested exchanges (Coinbase, Coins.ph, etc).
Thanks.

Hi Lino,

Check out my previous response to your post. Also, if you want to invest in ETH through the Abra app, you will need to fund your wallet with Bitcoin. Then you can transfer into ETH. Learn more about that here: https://www.abra.com/blog/ethereum-101/

There are 2 main ways to fund your Abra mobile wallet. First, you can link a bank account to the app and exchange funds into Bitcoin. You can also fund your wallet through an Abra retail teller like Tambunting. Here is more info: https://support.abra.com/hc/en-us/articles/115003984788-Where-can-I-find-Abra-Tellers-new-
