How do I buy SC?
Open a spot market on an exchange that lists SC (for example Kraken), create and verify your account, deposit funds, search SC, and place a market or limit order. Full steps are on this page.
To buy Siacoin (SC), use a spot market on 6 exchanges: Kraken, Crypto.com, Binance, Bybit, MEXC and Gate.io. Major regulated options include Kraken, Crypto.com. Live price: $0.000869. A simple path: open Kraken, create an account, complete ID checks if required, deposit USD/USDT (or buy with a card), search SC, 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 Siacoin (SC) 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 SC, stay on a spot pair (often SC/USDT or SC/USD). Match the ticker on the exchange before you deposit.

Siacoin is a native Layer-1 asset on the SC network — not a token that lives on another chain with a single contract address. Use the deposit network your exchange lists for SC.
No — on a centralized exchange you can buy SC 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, Crypto.com, Binance before you trade — they differ.
Most major exchanges let you buy USD or USDT with a card, then swap into SC on Kraken. Direct card-to-SC depends on the exchange and your country — check that venue’s payment options.
Binance yes, Coinbase no. SC trades spot on Binance, but Coinbase is not among the venues listing it today.
That depends on the exchange, not on SC itself — each venue serves different regions and runs its own verification. Check the exchange’s country list before signing up.
