How to buy QTUM, step by step

Choose an exchange that lists QTUM
QTUM trades on 33 of the exchanges we track. Among the best-rated of them (trust score 10/10), Binance handles the most QTUM: $220.54K changed hands there in the last 24 hours; OKX and Kraken 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
You can buy QTUM directly with TRY, USD, EUR and KRW on Binance, Kraken and Crypto.com Exchange. Deposit by bank transfer (usually cheapest) or card (faster but pricier).
Most QTUM volume is against USDT (81%), so on other exchanges you would deposit money, buy USDT first, then trade it for QTUM.
Buy QTUM
Open the QTUM/TRY 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 0.20% on the main markets, so a limit order can save you money on larger buys.
Decide where to keep it
You can leave QTUM on the exchange, which is simplest, or withdraw it to a wallet you control. Before withdrawing, check that your wallet supports QTUM on the same network the exchange sends on — funds sent over the wrong network can be lost.

Before you buy

QTUM trades 99% below its all-time high. A long drawdown is a reminder that crypto prices can fall a long way and stay there.
Buying crypto can be taxable where you live. Keep a record of what you paid and when.
