Where to buy ICP
Exchanges whose own market lists currently show a live ICP market:

| Bybit | Spot | ICPUSDT |
| OKX | Spot | ICP-USDT |
| Binance | Perpetual futures | ICPUSDT |

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 ICP and serves your country — for example Binance, Bybit, and OKX. 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 ICP
Open the ICP 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 ICP to a personal wallet (hardware wallets are safest). When withdrawing, choose a network your wallet supports — such as Ethereum, Base, and Internet Computer — and send a small test amount first.
