How to buy DRV, step by step

Choose an exchange that lists DRV
DRV trades on 15 of the exchanges we track. Among the best-rated of them (trust score 10/10), Coinbase Exchange handles the most DRV: $1.4M changed hands there in the last 24 hours; Gate 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 DRV directly with USD, EUR and KRW on Coinbase Exchange, Kraken and Upbit. Deposit by bank transfer (usually cheapest) or card (faster but pricier).
Fiat pairs are the main way DRV is bought: KRW alone accounts for 40% of its tracked volume.
Buy DRV
Open the DRV/USD 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. The gap between buy and sell prices is around 0.37% on the main markets, so a limit order can save you money on larger buys.
Decide where to keep it
You can leave DRV on the exchange, which is simplest, or withdraw it to a wallet you control. Before withdrawing, check that your wallet supports DRV on the same network the exchange sends on — funds sent over the wrong network can be lost.

Before you buy

DRV has fallen 21% 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.
