How do I buy LIT?
Open a spot market on an exchange that lists LIT (for example Kraken), create and verify your account, deposit funds, search LIT, and place a market or limit order. Full steps are on this page.
To buy Lighter (LIT), use a spot market on 7 exchanges: Kraken, Bitget, Bybit, OKX, MEXC, KuCoin and Gate.io. Major regulated options include Kraken. Live price: $4.524. A simple path: open Kraken, create an account, complete ID checks if required, deposit USD/USDT (or buy with a card), search LIT, then place a market or limit order. Use the Trade Spot buttons below to jump straight to each exchange.
Which venues you can use depends on your country and the exchange’s own rules.
Use the buttons above to open each exchange’s live Lighter (LIT) page. Trade Spot is for buying and holding; Perp is futures.
Tier-1 (Kraken) usually means stricter ID checks and country limits — pick a venue you can actually open.
To own LIT, stay on a spot pair (often LIT/USDT or LIT/USD). Match the ticker on the exchange before you deposit.
Perp only on Binance: leveraged futures, not buying the coin. Positions can be liquidated.

Lighter is on the ETH network. Before depositing or bridging, match the network and contract on the exchange’s deposit screen.
Listed contract 0x232c…4ee2 on ETH. Confirm on an official explorer before sending funds — scammers clone tickers.
No — on a centralized exchange you can buy LIT 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 Kraken, Bitget, Bybit before you trade — they differ.
Most major exchanges let you buy USD or USDT with a card, then swap into LIT on Kraken. Direct card-to-LIT depends on the exchange and your country — check that venue’s payment options.
Neither, as things stand — LIT 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 LIT itself — each venue serves different regions and runs its own verification. Check the exchange’s country list before signing up.
