Spot vs Tier-1 vs perpUse the buttons above to open each exchange’s live THORChain (RUNE) page. Trade Spot is for buying and holding; Perp is futures.
Tier-1 (Kraken, Crypto.com) usually means stricter ID checks and country limits — pick a venue you can actually open.
To own RUNE, stay on a spot pair (often RUNE/USDT or RUNE/USD). Match the ticker on the exchange before you deposit.
Perp only on Bitget: leveraged futures, not buying the coin. Positions can be liquidated.

How to Buy THORChain FAQ
Where to buy, fees, cards, Binance/Coinbase, and country rules for THORChainWhere can I buy RUNE?
THORChain (RUNE) spot markets we list: Kraken, Crypto.com, Binance, MEXC, KuCoin, Gate.io. Use the Trade Spot links above for each venue.
What network is RUNE on?
THORChain is a native Layer-1 asset on the RUNE network — not a token that lives on another chain with a single contract address. Use the deposit network your exchange lists for RUNE.
Do I need a wallet to buy RUNE?
No — on a centralized exchange you can buy RUNE inside the exchange account first. Withdraw to a self-custody wallet later if you want long-term holding, using the correct network.
What is the cheapest way to buy RUNE?
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, Crypto.com, Binance before you trade — they differ.
Can I buy RUNE with a credit or debit card?
Most major exchanges let you buy USD or USDT with a card, then swap into RUNE on Kraken. Direct card-to-RUNE depends on the exchange and your country — check that venue’s payment options.
Is RUNE on Binance or Coinbase?
Binance yes, Coinbase no. RUNE trades spot on Binance, but Coinbase is not among the venues listing it today.
Can I buy RUNE in my country?
That depends on the exchange, not on RUNE itself — each venue serves different regions and runs its own verification. Check the exchange’s country list before signing up.
