How to Buy UNI on CEX.IO: Step-by-Step Guide

Whether you’re looking to acquire UNI or buy Bitcoin instantly on CEX.IO, the process remains straightforward and intuitive. We offer several pathways for a seamless crypto purchase, with Instant Buy being the most straightforward choice, especially for beginners. 

This feature allows you to buy UNI, as well as other cryptocurrencies listed on our exchange, at the current market price with bank cards or any other payment method you may find convenient. 

Step 1: Set up an Account

Like with any other Bitcoin exchange platform, you’ll need to register with CEX.IO to become eligible for buying, selling, converting, and trading assets. To do that, you need to visit the CEX.IO website and fill in a few details, such as: 

• Your country of residence
• Email
• Password

Once you enter the required information, you must accept the terms and conditions to proceed with account activation. 

Step 2: Verify Your Identity

The next step includes verifying your identity. This requires providing one of the following documents: 

• International passport
• Government-issued identification (ID)
• Driver’s license

Having your identity documents ready in advance can significantly expedite your verification process. In order to comply with the AML/KYC requirements, you will also be prompted to provide a few details about the selected documents and fill in a few personal details, such as your: 
 

• Name and last name
• Address and ZIP code
• Country you’re currently residing in

This will be followed by a short facial recognition check, after which you’ll (hopefully) be successfully verified and ready to start purchasing UNI and other digital assets on CEX.IO without delay.

Step 3: Access Instant Buy

Once you've logged in and verified your account, look for the Instant Buy widget on our homepage. Alternatively, you can find this functionality under the Products menu, located in the navigation bar. From there, you need to: 

• Specify your currency. We currently support USD, EUR, and GBP. 

• Enter the amount you want to spend. 
• Choose UNI as your preferred cryptocurrency. 

• Click Buy Crypto Instantly. This will take you to our Add Funds page. 
   

  

• Find Select Payment Method. 

• Choose credit/debit card as your preferred funding gateway. 

Step 4: Complete Your Purchase

Enter your card details, such as: 

• Credit card number (a 16-digit number on the front). 
• Expiration date. 
• CVV (a three-digit number from the back of your card).

Review all the details and click Add Card to link your payment method to your CEX.IO account. Follow the on-screen instructions to approve and complete your UNI purchase. Keep in mind that you can follow the same procedure for buying other assets. This means you can use this same guide to buy Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), Tether (USDT), and USDC (USDC) on our platform, though we offer currency-specific manuals for each asset. 

Buy UNI through the Mobile App

In addition to a web-based desktop platform, we offer a crypto mobile app for on-the-go users. Our app is available across iOS and Android devices, and you can download and install it through dedicated mobile stores. To buy UNI through the mobile app, follow these steps: 

1. Download the CEX.IO Mobile App through the Google Play Store or the App Store. 
2. Install the app by following the in-store instructions. 
3. Open the app.

FAQs

What is Uniswap (UNI)?

Uniswap is a leading decentralized exchange (DEX) built on the Ethereum blockchain. It allows participants to swap ERC-20 tokens directly from their wallets without relying on a centralized intermediary. Uniswap uses an automated market maker (AMM) system, where liquidity is provided by users who deposit token pairs into liquidity pools. In return, participants can potentially earn a share of the trading fees. UNI is Uniswap’s native governance token, giving holders the power to vote on protocol upgrades, fee structures, and future developments. 

Where can I buy UNI?

You can buy UNI on a range of cryptocurrency exchanges, both centralized and decentralized. For a fast, secure, and beginner-friendly experience, CEX.IO is a reliable choice.

Additionally, you can acquire UNI directly through decentralized exchanges like Uniswap itself, where you can swap Ethereum or other tokens for UNI. However, this may require a steeper learning curve and advanced technical knowledge. On the other hand, CEX.IO simplifies the process with a user-friendly interface and integrated compliance features, making it ideal for both new and experienced traders.
