Tron (TRX) is one of the most popular cryptocurrencies focused on decentralized entertainment and content platforms.
TRX is considered a very stable financial asset, with a more consistent price compared to other, more volatile cryptocurrencies. If you want to purchase TRX, simply follow this beginner-friendly guide.

Step 1: Choose a Cryptocurrency Exchange

Before buying TRX, you need to choose a reliable crypto exchange. Here are some popular platforms for purchasing Tron:

  • Binance (Not available for Russian citizens)
  • Bybit (Available in Russia)
  • OKX (Available in Russia)
  • Kraken (Not available for Russian citizens)

All of these platforms are trusted and widely used. However, we strongly recommend not storing your assets on exchanges. Always transfer your funds to personal wallets for security.

When choosing an exchange, consider the following:

  • Transaction fees
  • Available deposit/withdrawal methods
  • In simplified user interfaces, some platforms may charge very high fees for small transactions

Step 2: Register and Verify Your Identity

To use an exchange, you’ll need to create an account:

  1. Go to the exchange website and click “Sign Up”
  2. Enter your email and create a strong password
  3. Confirm your email address and enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)
  4. Complete identity verification (KYC) by uploading your documents (passport, driver’s license, etc.)

Step 3: Fund Your Account

Before purchasing TRX, you need to deposit funds into your exchange account. You have a few options:

  • Bank card (Visa/MasterCard) – Fast, but typically includes fees. Not available for Russian citizens
  • P2P trading – Bybit offers an active P2P marketplace where Russian users can buy USDT using a Russian bank card
  • Crypto deposit – If you already own another cryptocurrency, you can exchange it for TRX

Step 4: Buy Tron (TRX)

Once your account is funded, you can purchase TRX:

  1. Go to the “Trade” or “Buy Crypto” section
  2. Select TRX and enter the desired purchase amount
  3. Use a market order to ensure instant execution
  4. Check your transaction history to confirm that the purchase was successful

Step 5: Withdraw TRX to a Wallet

After purchasing, it is highly recommended to transfer your TRX to a secure wallet.
The safest option is a wallet where you control the private keys. Examples include:

  • Hardware wallets (Ledger, Trezor) – The most secure method. These wallets are mostly offline, making them nearly immune to hacks
  • Mobile and desktop wallets (Trust Wallet, TronLink) – Great for everyday use
