1inch price and where to buy 1INCH

What is 1inch?

1inch is a trade aggregator that splits each swap across many decentralised exchanges to find the best price. 1INCH is its governance token.

How to buy 1inch, step by step

1. Pick an exchange. 1INCH is listed on every exchange we track. Compare fees, funding options and whether it serves your country in our exchange reviews.
2. Create and verify your account. Regulated exchanges ask for identity documents before you can deposit fiat.
3. Fund the account. A bank transfer or a stablecoin deposit usually costs far less than a card payment.
4. Buy 1INCH. Use the 1INCH/USDT or 1INCH/USD market, and check the cheapest venue in the table above first.
5. Decide where to keep it. On the exchange is simplest, but the exchange then holds your coins. 1INCH is a token on Ethereum and other networks; choose the network your wallet expects.

Where to buy 1inch at the best price

The cheapest venue right now is marked in the table above. Add its trading fee before comparing: on 1INCH the venues disagree by about 0.16 percent on average, so on a small purchase the fee and the funding method usually matter more.

• The price on that venue. Each row shows the gap to our composite.
• The trading fee. Our fee comparison lists spot fees side by side.
• How you fund the account. A bank transfer or stablecoin deposit is usually far cheaper than a card payment, which often costs several percent.

Why the 1inch price differs between exchanges

In our minute-by-minute measurement the gap between the highest and lowest venue averaged about 0.16 percent, against about 0.025 percent for Bitcoin. It went above half a percent in about six minutes out of every thousand, and reached about 1.0 percent at its widest.

About two fifths of the 1INCH spot volume we track trades on a single venue. The spread figure at the top of this page is the live measurement; our guide on why crypto prices differ between exchanges explains the mechanism.

What moves the 1inch price

The wider crypto market, and in 1INCH’s case its own news too. In our hourly composite, 1INCH moved with Bitcoin at a correlation of about 0.69, where 1 would mean identical moves, and its moves were about one and a half times the size of Bitcoin’s.

1INCH-specific drivers come on top: swap volume through the aggregator and leverage. In our data it followed Bitcoin more closely than almost any coin at this size. The funding rates on this page show whether leveraged traders are paying to be long or short right now.
