Alternative: Buy BTC and trade for ETN on an exchange

There are not many reputable cryptocurrency exchanges that offer Electroneum, so we do recommend our first option, above. However, if you do wish to trade BTC for ETN on an exchange, you can use KuCoin.

Step 1: Buy BTC

This step assumes you already have Bitcoin. If you don’t, you can buy Bitcoin at any of the following options:

  • BC Bitcoin (recommended; buy with £GBP or €EUR)
  • CEX.io (recommended; buy with £GBP)
    • July 2019 UPDATE: CEX.io now accepts Faster Payments, i.e. free and instant GBP deposits (up to £250k).
    • Buy BTC straight away with your debit or credit card, or bank transfer.
  • Local Bitcoins (buy with £GBP)
    • Buy BTC from other Brits using bank transfer.
  • Coinbase (buy with EUR)
