How to buy USDE, step by step

Choose an exchange that lists USDE
USDE trades on 42 of the exchanges we track. Among the best-rated of them (trust score 10/10), Binance handles the most USDE: $1.08M changed hands there in the last 24 hours; Kraken and Bitget 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 USDE directly with USD and EUR on Kraken. Deposit by bank transfer (usually cheapest) or card (faster but pricier).
Most USDE volume is against USDT (42%), so on other exchanges you would deposit money, buy USDT first, then trade it for USDE.
Buy USDE
Open the USDE/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. Spreads on the main USDE 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 USDE on the exchange, which is simplest, or withdraw it to a wallet you control. Before withdrawing, check that your wallet supports USDE on the same network the exchange sends on — funds sent over the wrong network can be lost.

Before you buy

USDE is a stablecoin designed to track a fixed value; people typically buy it to hold dollars on-chain or to move money between exchanges, not to profit from price moves. Its peg depends on the issuer's reserves.
Buying crypto can be taxable where you live. Keep a record of what you paid and when.
