How to buy U, step by step

Choose an exchange that lists U
U trades on 12 of the exchanges we track. Among the best-rated of them (trust score 10/10), Binance handles the most U: $33.73M changed hands there in the last 24 hours; Kraken and Gate 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 U directly with TRY, USD and IDR on Binance and Kraken. Deposit by bank transfer (usually cheapest) or card (faster but pricier).
Most U volume is against USDT (54%), so on other exchanges you would deposit money, buy USDT first, then trade it for U.
Buy U
Open the U/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. Spreads on the main U 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 U on the exchange, which is simplest, or withdraw it to a wallet you control. Before withdrawing, check that your wallet supports U on the same network the exchange sends on — funds sent over the wrong network can be lost.

Before you buy

U 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.
68% of tracked U volume is on a single exchange (Binance). If that venue halts trading or withdrawals, liquidity elsewhere is limited.
Buying crypto can be taxable where you live. Keep a record of what you paid and when.
