Where to buy XRP, exchanges compared (2026)

Compare crypto exchanges by licence, fees and features

Overview

Updated · Rankings data refreshed (CoinGecko)

XRP is the token of the XRP Ledger, and it trades on almost every large exchange. Where you should buy it depends on three things: whether the exchange serves your country, which currency you can deposit, and what the trade costs. This list ranks the exchanges that list XRP by our trust rank. The table lower down shows how much XRP each one traded in a day and which currencies it pairs XRP with.

We compare exchanges. We do not say whether XRP is a good buy, and we do not forecast its price.

How We Pick These Exchanges

The exchanges on this page are chosen and ranked using ExchangeCatalogue’s independent review framework – we look at security, regulation, fees, products, user experience, and overall fit for this specific use case or region.

Some platforms may be our partners, but no exchange can pay to change its score or ranking. Sponsorship can affect visibility (for example, “featured” labels), not how we rate risk or quality.

This page is for information only and is not financial or investment advice. Always do your own research.

Frequently Asked Questions

Coinbase, Kraken, Gemini, Bitstamp and Binance US all list XRP for US customers with USD pairs. A few states are excluded on some exchanges, so check the state list before you sign up.

Ripple is the company. XRP is the token that runs on the XRP Ledger, an open source network that Ripple does not own. Ripple is a private company, so there is no Ripple stock to buy on an exchange.

It depends on how you pay. Deposits in your own currency and limit orders on the spot market cost the least. Card purchases and instant-buy buttons cost the most. Each exchange profile on this site lists its fees.

Often. Kraken pairs XRP with EUR, GBP and CAD. Bitvavo pairs it with EUR. Bitso uses MXN, Luno uses ZAR and MYR, Bitkub uses THB and Bitbank uses JPY. The table on this page shows the quote currencies at each exchange.

Keeping coins on an exchange is easy but means the exchange holds them. A wallet you control needs a 1 XRP base reserve and a backup of your keys. Many people keep a trading balance on the exchange and move the rest to a wallet.

How to buy XRP

Open an account at an exchange that serves your country and pass its identity check. Deposit money in the currency the exchange pairs with XRP. A pair in your own currency, such as XRP/EUR at Bitvavo or Kraken, XRP/GBP at Kraken, XRP/CAD at Kraken or XRP/INR through a local exchange, saves you a conversion fee. Then place an order on the XRP market. A limit order lets you set the price. A market order fills at once at the best available price.

Fees differ. Most exchanges charge 0.1% to 0.6% per trade on a standard account, and instant-buy buttons that use a card cost more. Withdrawing XRP to your own wallet costs a small network fee, and the XRP Ledger needs a base reserve in the wallet, which is 1 XRP since December 2024.

Where each exchange is available

Binance does not serve the United States, where Binance US runs a separate exchange with fewer pairs, and it has had no EU service since 1 July 2026. Coinbase, Kraken, Gemini and Bitstamp serve US customers. Bitvavo serves the EU under a MiCA licence. Luno serves South Africa and Malaysia, Bitso serves Mexico and Argentina, Bitkub serves Thailand, and Bitbank serves Japan. Each profile on this site lists the countries the exchange accepts and the deposit methods it takes.
