How to buy LDO, step by step

Choose an exchange that lists LDO
LDO trades on 65 of the exchanges we track. Among the best-rated of them (trust score 10/10), Binance handles the most LDO: $9.03M changed hands there in the last 24 hours; OKX and Coinbase Exchange 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 LDO directly with TRY, USD, EUR and IDR on Binance, Coinbase Exchange and Kraken. Deposit by bank transfer (usually cheapest) or card (faster but pricier).
Most LDO volume is against USDT (92%), so on other exchanges you would deposit money, buy USDT first, then trade it for LDO.
Buy LDO
Open the LDO/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. The gap between buy and sell prices is around 0.15% on the main markets, so a limit order can save you money on larger buys.
Decide where to keep it
You can leave LDO on the exchange, which is simplest, or withdraw it to a wallet you control. Before withdrawing, check that your wallet supports LDO on the same network the exchange sends on — funds sent over the wrong network can be lost.

Before you buy

LDO has risen 20% in the past week — big swings in both directions are normal for it, so only buy what you can afford to see drop sharply.
The single busiest LDO market is on BitDelta, which has a trust score of 6/10. Low-rated venues sometimes overstate volume, so we list well-rated exchanges first.
