How do I buy XDC?
Open a spot market on an exchange that lists XDC (for example Kraken), create and verify your account, deposit funds, search XDC, and place a market or limit order. Full steps are on this page.
To buy XDC Network (XDC), use a spot market on 6 exchanges: Kraken, Bitget, Bybit, MEXC, KuCoin and Gate.io. Major regulated options include Kraken. Live price: $0.02741.

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.

XDC Network is a native Layer-1 asset on the XDC network — not a token that lives on another chain with a single contract address. Use the deposit network your exchange lists for XDC.
No — on a centralized exchange you can buy XDC 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 XDC on Kraken. Direct card-to-XDC depends on the exchange and your country — check that venue’s payment options.
Neither, as things stand — XDC 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 XDC itself — each venue serves different regions and runs its own verification. Check the exchange’s country list before signing up.
