Two tools to save you some detours. One helps you pick among five exchanges; the other takes you from no account to your first buy and knowing how to withdraw. Everything runs only in your browser and collects nothing, so use them with peace of mind.
Exchange comparison: pick from 5
Binance, OKX, Bitget, Bybit and Gate in one table: language and support, how easy it is to buy USDT, minimum to start and how beginner-friendly — all at a glance. Choose "what you want it for" and the recommendation is highlighted.
Open the comparison →Checklist: 0 to your first buy
Pick an exchange, register and verify, security, deposit, your first buy, learning to withdraw, and dodging traps: a seven-step checkable list with a progress bar and a link to the guide on every item. Follow the list and you're set.
Open the checklist →If you don't know which exchange to start with, use the comparison to pick one for your needs; once you've chosen, open the checklist and move step by step, from sign-up to your first buy and knowing how to withdraw. Used together, they're the easiest way to walk the whole path when you're starting out.
After reading, doing is what counts
Choose a major exchange, enter the invite code at sign-up, and walk through the process with a small amount. Once you've done that step, you're genuinely up and running.
