How to buy USDG, step by step

Choose an exchange that lists USDG
USDG trades on 14 of the exchanges we track. Among the best-rated of them (trust score 10/10), Kraken handles the most USDG: $5.33M changed hands there in the last 24 hours; OKX and Bullish 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 USDG directly with USD on Kraken. Deposit by bank transfer (usually cheapest) or card (faster but pricier).
Most USDG volume is against 0X0BD7…AD73 (81%), so on other exchanges you would deposit money, buy 0X0BD7…AD73 first, then trade it for USDG.
Buy USDG
Open the USDG/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 USDG 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 USDG on the exchange, which is simplest, or withdraw it to a wallet you control. Before withdrawing, check that your wallet supports USDG on the same network the exchange sends on — funds sent over the wrong network can be lost.

Before you buy

USDG 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.
80% of tracked USDG volume is on a single exchange (Uniswap V3 (Robinhood)). If that venue halts trading or withdrawals, liquidity elsewhere is limited.
The single busiest USDG market is on Uniswap V3 (Robinhood), which has a trust score of 2/10. Low-rated venues sometimes overstate volume, so we list well-rated exchanges first.
