How to buy PYUSD, step by step

Choose an exchange that lists PYUSD
PYUSD trades on 30 of the exchanges we track. Among the best-rated of them (trust score 10/10), OKX handles the most PYUSD: $94.17K changed hands there in the last 24 hours; Bitget 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 PYUSD directly with USD and KRW on Kraken, Crypto.com Exchange and Bithumb. Deposit by bank transfer (usually cheapest) or card (faster but pricier).
Most PYUSD volume is against USDS (43%), so on other exchanges you would deposit money, buy USDS first, then trade it for PYUSD.
Buy PYUSD
Open the PYUSD/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 PYUSD 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 PYUSD on the exchange, which is simplest, or withdraw it to a wallet you control. Before withdrawing, check that your wallet supports PYUSD on the same network the exchange sends on — funds sent over the wrong network can be lost.

Before you buy

PYUSD 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.
The single busiest PYUSD market is on Uniswap V4 (Ethereum), which has a trust score of 2/10. Low-rated venues sometimes overstate volume, so we list well-rated exchanges first.
