Harmony price and where to buy ONE

What is Harmony?

Harmony is a proof-of-stake blockchain that splits its work across shards and is compatible with Ethereum smart contracts. Its cross-chain bridge suffered a large hack, after which activity on the network fell sharply. ONE pays fees and is staked.

How to buy Harmony, step by step

1. Pick an exchange. ONE is listed on two of the five exchanges 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 ONE. Use the ONE/USDT or ONE/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. ONE runs on its own network; withdraw only to a Harmony address.

Where to buy Harmony at the best price

The cheapest venue right now is marked in the table above. Add its trading fee before comparing: on ONE the venues disagree by about 0.082 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 Harmony price differs between exchanges

In our minute-by-minute measurement the gap between the highest and lowest venue averaged about 0.082 percent, against about 0.025 percent for Bitcoin. It went above half a percent in about 49 minutes out of every thousand, and reached about 5.0 percent at its widest.

About two thirds of the ONE 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 Harmony price

The wider crypto market, and in ONE’s case its own news too. In our hourly composite, ONE moved with Bitcoin at a correlation of about 0.03, where 1 would mean identical moves, and its moves were about 11 times the size of Bitcoin’s.

ONE barely moved with Bitcoin in our data, and its hourly moves were far larger, which is typical of a thinly traded coin. The funding rates on this page show whether leveraged traders are paying to be long or short right now.
