The DOT token is listed on several large crypto exchanges such as FTX, Kraken, Huobi and Bitfinex.
To open an account with one of these exchanges, you’ll need to sign up and identify yourself. The process is straightforward and similar to that of an online brokerage. You will be asked to provide information such as your name, address, an official public document (passport), and a proof of address (utility bill). Usually, this process takes only a couple of minutes.
Once you have the documents submitted, it will take 1 to 2 business days for your account to be verified and fully operational. Be sure to enable 2-factor authorization and other safety features (such as delayed withdrawals) when opening the account. This ensures that unauthorized access to your account and funds is significantly more difficult.
As an alternative, you can buy DOT tokens directly in a wallet. For example, Trust Wallet allows for DOT purchases within the app through a third-party provider.
You can also buy DOT tokens over decentralized exchanges (DEX) such as Binance DEX or 1inch (only over BSC — Binance Smart Chain).
