Movement price and where to buy MOVE

What is Movement?

Movement is a network built around the Move programming language, aiming to bring Move-based smart contracts to the Ethereum ecosystem. MOVE is its token.

How to buy Movement, step by step

1. Pick an exchange. MOVE is listed on four 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 MOVE. Use the MOVE/USDT or MOVE/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. MOVE exists on more than one network; choose the one your wallet expects.

• 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.
