Step-by-step: How to buy Avalanche

Create an account at a crypto exchange

Create an account at Kraken (our recommendation) or Bitget (currently offering the lowest AVAX price). Sign up with email and password. In most cases, the next step is an identity verification process, so it’s best to have your ID card or passport ready.

Add a payment method

Add your preferred payment method to your account. Depending on the exchange, you can choose between credit card, bank transfer, or instant payment options. Some exchanges also support PayPal or Apple Pay, although these usually come with slightly higher fees.

Select Avalanche (AVAX) to buy

Navigate to the buy or trading section and select Avalanche (AVAX) from the list of available cryptocurrencies. Alternatively, you can type “Avalanche” into the search bar. Some exchanges also offer different order types, such as market or limit orders.

Enter amount & complete purchase

Enter the amount in dollars you want to use to buy Avalanche and review the transaction details such as fees and exchange rate. Confirm the purchase, and within a few seconds, the purchased coins will be credited to your account.
