4️⃣ Buy BSV on the Spot Market

hashtag
4.1 Transfer USDT to Trading Account

Kucoin uses the Spot Market for buying BSV. Spot trading means buying or selling crypto at the current market price.

  • First, transfer your deposited funds to your Trading Account (Kucoin Trading Accountarrow-up-right).

  • It’s recommended to use USDT (Tether), as BSV is traded against USDT (BSV/USDT pair).

Kucoin Transfer to Trading account

Why USDT? The BSV/USDT pair means you exchange USDT for BSV. For example, if 1 BSV = 10 USDT, buying 0.1 BSV costs 1 USDT.

Kucoin spot BSV/USDT

  • On the right, select Spot, then Buy, and choose Market (to buy at the current price).

  • Enter the amount of USDT you want to spend.

Example: If you want to buy 0.5 BSV and the price is 10 USDT per BSV, you’ll need 5 USDT.

  • Enter your BSV wallet address (double-check for accuracy!).
