How to buy CRVUSD, step by step

Choose an exchange that lists CRVUSD
CRVUSD trades on 7 of the exchanges we track. The most active is Curve (Ethereum), with $22.62M in 24-hour CRVUSD volume; Uniswap V4 (Ethereum) and Curve (Optimism) are the next options.
Check that the exchange is licensed or allowed to operate where you live — the same exchange can offer different coins in different countries.
Create an account and verify your identity
Centralized exchanges ask for an email, a password and, before you can deposit money, identity verification (KYC) with a photo ID. Turn on two-factor authentication with an authenticator app, not SMS, as soon as the account is open.
Deposit money and buy USDT
None of the CRVUSD markets we track are paired with a national currency, so it's a two-step purchase. USDT is a dollar-pegged stablecoin and the pair currency for 40% of CRVUSD trading: buy USDT with a bank transfer or card first.
Buy CRVUSD
Open the CRVUSD/USDT market and enter how much you want to spend. A market order fills immediately at the best available price; a limit order waits until the price reaches the level you set. The gap between buy and sell prices is around 0.60% on the main markets, so a limit order can save you money on larger buys.
Decide where to keep it
You can leave CRVUSD on the exchange, which is simplest, or withdraw it to a wallet you control. Before withdrawing, check that your wallet supports CRVUSD on the same network the exchange sends on — funds sent over the wrong network can be lost.

Before you buy

CRVUSD is a stablecoin designed to track a fixed value; people typically buy it to hold dollars on-chain or to move money between exchanges, not to profit from price moves. Its peg depends on the issuer's reserves.
99% of tracked CRVUSD volume is on a single exchange (Curve (Ethereum)). If that venue halts trading or withdrawals, liquidity elsewhere is limited.
The single busiest CRVUSD market is on Curve (Ethereum), which has a trust score of 2/10. Low-rated venues sometimes overstate volume, so we list well-rated exchanges first.
Buying crypto can be taxable where you live. Keep a record of what you paid and when.
