How to Buy XBN on Bittrex Global
For more than a week after our Bantu Lagos Hangout, XBN, Bantu’s Native Utility token was consistently among the top 5 traded digital assets on Bittrex Global. Even now, people still ask how they can acquire XBN from a centralized exchange. In response to these requests, we have created this guide to cover everything you need to know about buying XBN on Bittrex Global.
Bittrex Global is a centralized exchange that serves users from each continent in the world and a platform for trading over 100 digital assets and cryptocurrencies.
On Mobile App: Android and iOS
Step 1: Download Bittrex Global
Depending on your device, you can find the Bittrex Global Mobile App either on the Google PlayStore or Apple Appstore. Ensure it is owned by Bittrex, Inc.
Step 2: Register or Sign In
If you already have an account you previously registered, you can simply sign in to the app. If this is your first interaction with Bittrex Global, then follow the prompts to register an account. You will be asked for a government ID, ideally, your international passport or driver’s license, to pass KYC (Know Your Customer) and complete registration. This takes less than 5 minutes, so long as you have all the required information and documentation and follow instructions properly.
Step 3: Fund Your Bittrex Global Wallet
You can skip this step if you already have funds in your Bittrex Global Wallet. But if not, then you need to fund your wallet. At the moment, only the XBN/USDT pair is available for trading. You have the option of depositing USDT into your Bittrex Global Tether (USDT) wallet or converting any other available crypto to USDT.
Please read the instructions and keep in mind that Bittrex Global only supports ERC 20 based Tether (USDT).
Step 4: Browse and Select XBN/USDT Pair
Once you have your mobile wallet all set up, go to Markets, at the bottom-left side of the app’s home page.
Then tap on the search icon at the top-right side, and search for the XBN/USDT pair by typing XBN.
The screen below will show up next, then you can tap Buy.
Unless you are an experienced trader, do not go with a limit order. Keep things simple and go with the market. Click on the “I Understand” button as seen below to confirm that you know what is involved with using a market order.
Enter the quantity of XBN you want to buy, and then hit the green arrow button.
Congratulations! You just got yourself some XBN.
