How to buy FRAX, step by step

Choose an exchange that lists FRAX
FRAX trades on 2 of the exchanges we track. The most active is Uniswap V2 (Ethereum), with $2.63K in 24-hour FRAX volume; Fraxswap (Ethereum) is the other option.
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 0X853D…B99E
None of the FRAX markets we track are paired with a national currency, so it's a two-step purchase. 100% of FRAX trading is against 0X853D…B99E, so buy 0X853D…B99E first with a bank transfer or card.
Buy FRAX
Open the FRAX/0X853D…B99E 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 0.61% on the main markets, so a limit order can save you money on larger buys.
FRAX is thinly traded ($7.73K a day across tracked markets), so large orders can move the price. Split big purchases or use limit orders.
Decide where to keep it
You can leave FRAX on the exchange, which is simplest, or withdraw it to a wallet you control. Before withdrawing, check that your wallet supports FRAX on the same network the exchange sends on — funds sent over the wrong network can be lost.

Before you buy
