Moldova, officially the Republic of Moldova, is a country in Eastern Europe. It is bordered by Ukraine to the north, east, and south and Romania to the west. Moldova covers an area of 33,851 square kilometres, with a population of around 2.6 million. Even though a landlocked country, Moldova is only three kilometres from the Black Sea at its closest point, separated only by Dniester Liman. The Danube flows very closely near Moldova’s southern border, but Moldova only has access to it for about 480 metres.
Situated at the crossroads of several distinct, influential cultures such as Latin, Slavic, and Byzantine, Moldova has drawn from them to enrich its own culture. Its cultural heritage was marked by a considerable number of churches and monasteries from the 15th century, as well as its deep influence on modern Romanian culture. Moldova and Romania share their national poet and writer, Mihai Eminescu and Ion Creangă, both considered the most influential Romanian language artists.
With Moldova’s national currency – the Moldovan leu (MDL) – you can purchase cryptos in just a few minutes, whether you’re in Chișinău, Tiraspol, or Bălți, or anywhere else in the country. Bitget employs numerous secure methods, including crypto deposits, P2P trading, and other third-party merchants, such as Apple Pay, Google Pay, and various credit cards, to offer you a wide range of payment options and solutions to meet any of your cryptocurrency needs.
