How to buy XEP on Bittrex Global

You can buy the native coins of Electra Protocol (XEP) on a number of exchanges. The amount of exchanges is still limited, as Electra Protocol was officially launched just in January 2021. Since Electra Protocol is running on its own blockchain, exchanges have to manually connect to this new network, which takes time.

As of today, you cannot buy XEP yet on any top 10 exchange like Coinbase, Kraken, or Binance. More exchange listings are planned to happen. Finding the right exchange for your country of residence can be challenging for new investors, since not all exchages are open to residents of every country. Depending on the crypto exchange, you might also have to identify yourself in a KYC process (where you have to identify yourself by submitting your ID and a proof of address).

Bittrex Global is not available to customers from the United States and Canada. Bittrex Global currently only supports trading XEP coins using USDT tokens.

For users in the United States: Please don’t confuse Bittrex Global with Bittrex US, a separate exchange operated by Bittrex for customers in the United States. Bittrex US does not trade XEP. Use Hotbit, PancakeSwap, or another exchange instead, if Bittrex Global is not available in your home country.
