This post will give you a quick tour of how to buy using both fiat currencies and cryptocurrencies. đź’Ş
If you’re looking to exchange a fiat currency, like the U.S. dollar, directly for an Index Coop product, then you’ll want an Ethereum wallet like Argent, Dharma, Metamask, or Rainbow.
With each of these wallets, you can connect to your bank account or debit card, which allows you to exchange fiat currencies directly for Index Coop products. All four wallets are available on iOS, and Argent, Dharma, and Metamask are also available on Android.
As of May 2021, you can also buy DPI on KuCoin, a centralized exchange much like Coinbase.
If you already have an active Ethereum wallet and are used to buying and selling currencies on a decentralized exchange (DEX), then you can buy Index Coop products that way, too.
Uniswap and Sushiswap currently have the best liquidity for Index Coop products. And, DPI is also available on Loopring. Of course, you can also use an aggregator like Matcha to find the best price.
One last note to keep in mind, you can also buy Index Coop products directly from the Index Coop or TokenSets, which route through Uniswap but gives you a complete breakdown of the underlying tokens as well as the methodology on which it is based.
