Where to buy CRO
Exchanges whose own market lists currently show a live CRO market:
| Exchange | Market | Pair |
|---|---|---|
| OKX | Spot | CRO-USDT |
| Bybit | Perpetual futures | CROUSDT |
| OKX | Perpetual futures | CRO-USDT-SWAP |
| Crypto.com | Issuer's own exchange | CRO |
Perpetual futures are leveraged derivatives — they don't give you ownership of CRO. To hold the coin itself, buy it on a spot market.
Networks and contract addresses
CRO is issued as a token on the networks below. Deposit and withdraw only on a network that both your exchange and your wallet support.
| Network | Contract address |
|---|---|
| Ethereum | 0xa0b73e1ff0b80914ab6fe0444e65848c4c34450b |
Always verify a contract address on the project's official website or a block explorer before sending funds — scam tokens copy the names and tickers of popular coins.
1. Choose a reputable exchange
Pick a well-established exchange that lists CRO and serves your country — for example Bybit, OKX, and Crypto.com. Compare fees, supported payment methods and security track record.
2. Create and verify your account
Sign up with your email, set a strong password and enable two-factor authentication. Most exchanges require identity verification (KYC) before you can deposit.
3. Deposit funds
Fund your account by bank transfer, card or another cryptocurrency. Bank transfers are usually cheapest; cards are fastest.
4. Buy CRO
Open the CRO market, enter the amount you want to buy and confirm. A market order fills instantly at the current price; a limit order lets you set your own price.
5. Store it securely
For long-term holding, move your CRO to a personal wallet (hardware wallets are safest). When withdrawing, choose a network your wallet supports — such as Ethereum — and send a small test amount first.
