How to buy LINK, step by step

Choose an exchange that lists LINK
LINK trades on 63 of the exchanges we track. Among the best-rated of them (trust score 10/10), Binance handles the most LINK: $74.62M changed hands there in the last 24 hours; Coinbase Exchange and Kraken are the next options.
Check that the exchange is licensed or allowed to operate where you live — the same exchange can offer different coins in different countries.
Create an account and verify your identity
Centralized exchanges ask for an email, a password and, before you can deposit money, identity verification (KYC) with a photo ID. Turn on two-factor authentication with an authenticator app, not SMS, as soon as the account is open.
Deposit money
You can buy LINK directly with TRY, JPY, USD and EUR on Binance, Coinbase Exchange and Kraken. Deposit by bank transfer (usually cheapest) or card (faster but pricier).
Most LINK volume is against USDT (81%), so on other exchanges you would deposit money, buy USDT first, then trade it for LINK.
Buy LINK
Open the LINK/TRY market and enter how much you want to spend. A market order fills immediately at the best available price; a limit order waits until the price reaches the level you set. Spreads on the main LINK markets are tight (around 0.02%), so a market order won't cost much beyond the trading fee.
Decide where to keep it
You can leave LINK on the exchange, which is simplest, or withdraw it to a wallet you control. Before withdrawing, check that your wallet supports LINK on the same network the exchange sends on — funds sent over the wrong network can be lost.

Before you buy

LINK has risen 17% in the past week — big swings in both directions are normal for it, so only buy what you can afford to see drop sharply.
Buying crypto can be taxable where you live. Keep a record of what you paid and when.
