How to buy OUSD, step by step

Choose an exchange that lists OUSD
OUSD trades on 5 of the exchanges we track. The most active is Orca, with $1.56M in 24-hour OUSD volume; Uniswap V4 (Base) and Aerodrome Slipstream 3 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 EPJFWD…DT1V
None of the OUSD markets we track are paired with a national currency, so it's a two-step purchase. 77% of OUSD trading is against EPJFWD…DT1V, so buy EPJFWD…DT1V first with a bank transfer or card.
Buy OUSD
Open the OUSD/EPJFWD…DT1V 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 0.82% on the main markets, so a limit order can save you money on larger buys.
Decide where to keep it
You can leave OUSD on the exchange, which is simplest, or withdraw it to a wallet you control. Before withdrawing, check that your wallet supports OUSD on the same network the exchange sends on — funds sent over the wrong network can be lost.

Before you buy

OUSD 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.
77% of tracked OUSD volume is on a single exchange (Orca). If that venue halts trading or withdrawals, liquidity elsewhere is limited.
The single busiest OUSD market is on Orca, 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.
