How to Buy TON?
You don’t have to be a crypto expert or tech guru to become a crypto owner. Thanks to our beginner-friendly feature, Instant Buy, you can buy TON, as well as 200+ other vetted assets, with a few clicks.
Step-by-Step Guide on How to Buy TON on CEX.IO
Below are the steps to purchase TON with a credit or debit card at CEX.IO.
Step 1: Create Your CEX.IO Account
TON is available exclusively to registered users, so the first step is to set up your account. The process is quick and straightforward. You’ll be asked to:
- Select your country of residence.
- Enter a valid email address.
- Create a strong password.
Once that’s done, you’ll be all set to move on to the next step.
Step 2: Verify Your Identity
To keep your account secure and meet regulatory standards, you’ll need to complete identity verification(KYC/AML). This is a standard process for all regulated exchanges — CEX.IO included — and it’s designed to protect you and your funds.
Here’s what you’ll need to do (and don’t worry, it typically takes less than 6 minutes if you have everything ready):
- Share your residential address.
- Upload photos of your ID and provide document details.
- Complete a quick facial recognition check.
- Confirm your phone number.
Note: In some regions, a short questionnaire may also be required, depending on local laws.
Having your documents on hand will speed things up, and our intuitive interface makes the process smooth from start to finish.
Step 3: Access Instant Buy
Once you create an account and verify your identity, you become eligible to use our services and features supported in your country. This includes Instant Buy, which allows you to buy TON with a credit/debit card or other convenient payment method at the current market price.
You can access this feature through the user dashboard on the left-hand side of the interface. Alternatively, you can find Instant Buy under the Products menu. Once you find Instant Buy, follow these steps:
- Specify the fiat currency you want to use to buy TON.

- Enter the amount of fiat you want or choose from pre-selected allotments.
- Choose TON as your preferred cryptocurrency.

- Click Buy Crypto Instantly. This will prompt you to our Add Funds page.
Step 4: Buy TON
From the Add Funds menu, you should do the following:
- Go to Select Payment Method and choose credit/debit card as your preferred funding gateway.

- Enter your card number, expiration date, and CVV.
- Click Add Card.
- Follow the instructions to complete the payment.
- Your TON tokens should be credited to your account balance soon.
How to Trade TON at CEX.IO?
Instant Buy is a great way to grab some TON at the current market rate, but if you’re looking for a bit more control and potentially better pricing, trading might be the way to go.

How to Buy TON with a Bank Account
Buying TON with a bank account works a bit differently than using credit or debit cards — and it requires a quick extra step. This payment method is not available through Instant Buy, but it’s still straightforward once you get the hang of it.
If you prefer to buy crypto with a bank account, you’ll need to fund your fiat balance first using the Wallet functionality, which you can access from your dashboard or under the Products menu. Once your fiat is in place, you can convert it directly into TON. While it might seem like a workaround at first, it’s actually quite simple after your first transaction.
Here’s how to do it:
- Go to your Wallet dashboard.
- Navigate to the Fiat section.
- Choose the fiat currency you’d like to add (e.g., USD, EUR, GBP).
- Click Add Funds.
- Enter the amount you want to deposit.
- Select Bank Transfer as your preferred payment method.
- Copy the bank details provided by CEX.IO.
- Paste these details into your banking app or online banking platform.
- Complete the transfer following the given instructions.
- Once your fiat deposit appears in your CEX.IO account, return to the Wallet dashboard.
- In the Fiat section, locate the fiat balance you added.
- Click Convert next to it.
- Select TON as the cryptocurrency you want to receive.
- Click Convert to finalize the transaction.
That’s it! Once completed, your TON will appear in your wallet, ready to trade, hold, or transfer as you see fit.
FAQs
What is TON?
The Open Network (TON) is a decentralized, open-sourced layer-1 (L1) blockchain with Toncoin (TON) as its native cryptocurrency. This community-driven project was designed to support numerous decentralized applications (dApps) and enable fast transactions.
Originally established by the company that created the popular encrypted messaging application Telegram, the project was abandoned in May 2020 after facing scrutiny from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
However, a community of passionate developers and blockchain startups brought the TON blockchain back to life. It was resurrected as a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) dedicated to achieving the project’s original goal.
The founders of the TON Foundation (the company that developed and launched The Open Network) were Kirill Emelianenko and Anatoly Makosov.

The most intuitive way to learn the real-time price of TON is through our TON price page. If you need more information about the current market performance of TON, as well as its price against other crypto and fiat currencies, please visit Spot Trading.
