How do I buy HP?
Open a spot market on an exchange that lists HP (for example MEXC), create and verify your account, deposit funds, search HP, and place a market or limit order. Full steps are on this page.
To buy Hippo Protocol (HP), use a spot market on 2 exchanges: MEXC and Gate.io. Live price: $0.006966.

Hippo Protocol (HP) spot markets we list: MEXC, Gate.io. Use the Trade Spot links above for each venue.
Hippo Protocol is a native Layer-1 asset on the HP network — not a token that lives on another chain with a single contract address. Use the deposit network your exchange lists for HP.
No — on a centralized exchange you can buy HP inside the exchange account first. Withdraw to a self-custody wallet later if you want long-term holding, using the correct network.
Three costs decide it: the exchange's taker fee, the spread you cross, and how you fund the account. A limit (maker) order usually costs less than a market (taker) order, and funding with a USDT or USD transfer is normally cheaper than a card purchase, which carries its own processing fee. Check the fee schedules on MEXC, Gate.io before you trade — they differ.
Most major exchanges let you buy USD or USDT with a card, then swap into HP on MEXC. Direct card-to-HP depends on the exchange and your country — check that venue’s payment options.
Neither, as things stand — HP is not on Binance or Coinbase spot in the venue list we track. The exchanges above are where it does trade, and listings change without notice.
That depends on the exchange, not on HP itself — each venue serves different regions and runs its own verification. Check the exchange’s country list before signing up.
