$XRD is the native currency of the Radix protocol and is used to pay transaction fees and to stake to validators. You can acquire XRD three ways: on a centralized exchange, through a cross-chain swap or fiat on-ramp, or by bridging assets onto the Radix Network and swapping on a native decentralized exchange. The lists below cover each route.

Centralized exchanges

XRD/USDT and XRD spot markets are listed on several centralized exchanges:

Listings change over time — the official Radix token page maintains the canonical, up-to-date list of trading venues.

Cross-chain swaps & fiat on-ramps

If you already hold another cryptocurrency, or want to buy with a card, these services convert directly into XRD:

  • RocketX — cross-chain swap from assets on other networks into XRD
  • Switchere — fiat (card/bank) on-ramp

On-ledger: bridge & swap on a native DEX

To acquire XRD directly on the Radix Network, first bridge assets across with Instabridge, then swap them for XRD on a Radix-native decentralized exchange:

  • Ociswap — AMM and concentrated-liquidity DEX
  • CaviarNine — order-book and concentrated-liquidity DEX
  • DeFiPlaza — single-pool DEX
  • Astrolescent — swap aggregator that routes across pools for the best price
