Where to buy IOTA

| OKX | Spot | IOTA-USDT |
| Binance | Perpetual futures | IOTAUSDT |

Networks and contract addresses
IOTA is issued as a token on the networks below. Deposit and withdraw only on a network that both your exchange and your wallet support.

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.
