How to buy some ETH?

You can buy some ETH from exchanges or from crypto wallets directly.

Purchase options

Centralized Cryptocurrency Exchanges

Exchanges are businesses that let you buy crypto using traditional currencies.

This includes buying/selling cryptocurrencies with fiat (fiat/crypto paring) as well as buying/selling cryptocurrencies with other cryptocurrencies (crypto/crypto pairing). They can be viewed as an online marketplace for the entire cryptocurrency network.

Centralized Exchanges have custody over any ETH you buy until you send it to a wallet you control.

TOP-4 exchanges:

1. Binance

2. Huobi Global

3. CoinBase Pro

4. Kraken

Decentralized Exchanges (DEXs)

If you want more control, buy ETH peer-to-peer. With a DEX you can trade without giving control of your funds to a centralized company.

But you can't use fiat (traditional currencies) to buy ETH with DEX.

Some DEXes:

1. https://eclipse.exchange

2. https://1inch.exchange/#/

3. https://app.uniswap.org/#/swap?use=v1

4. https://www.bancor.network

1. MEW (My Ether Wallet)

2. imToken (How to install)
