Where to buy ARCH
All-in cost is the trading fee on a $1,000 market buy plus the cheapest fee that exchange charges to withdraw ARCH. It is the number the exchange’s own “how to buy” page never shows you, and it reorders the table more often than not. The coins column is how many assets each exchange lists in total, from our own sync — not the figure CoinMarketCap prints.

Buying ARCH step by step
- Pick a venue from the table. For a coin this size the choice is usually short — 2 exchanges list ARCH at all, and the table already shows what you will pay to leave as well as to buy.
- Fund the account. 2 of those exchanges take fiat, 2 of them by card. Card is fastest and dearest; a bank transfer costs a fraction of it. Depositing a stablecoin you already hold is free on almost every exchange here.
- Place the order. A market order pays the taker fee in the table; a limit order that rests on the book pays the lower maker fee. On a thinly traded coin the spread costs more than either, so a limit order is worth the wait.
- Decide whether to move it. Leaving ARCH on the exchange is free but custodial. Moving it to a wallet that supports it costs one withdrawal fee — send a small test amount first, and match the network on both sides.
How to buy ARCH — FAQ
Where can I buy Archway (ARCH)?
On 2 exchanges we track: MEXC, Gate. The table above has each one with its trading fee, the payment methods it takes and what it charges to withdraw ARCH.
What is the cheapest way to buy ARCH?
We cannot rank the exchanges on cost for ARCH yet: the venues that list it have not published enough of their fee schedule for a like-for-like comparison. The withdrawal fees in the table are still exact.
Can I buy ARCH with a credit card?
Indirectly, yes. 2 of the exchanges listing ARCH accept a card (MEXC, Gate), but the card almost always buys a major asset — USDT, USDC, BTC — which you then swap for ARCH on the same exchange. That means two fees: the card charge, then the trading fee in the table.
Do I have to pay a fee to withdraw ARCH?
Every exchange charges one, as a flat amount of ARCH per network rather than a percentage. We do not have a priced figure for all of the venues listing ARCH yet — the ARCH withdrawal fee page has whatever each exchange publishes.
Is it safe to leave ARCH on the exchange?
It is a custody choice, not a safety switch. While the coin sits there the exchange holds the keys: convenient, recoverable if you lose your password, and dependent on the exchange staying solvent and keeping withdrawals open. Moving it to a wallet you control removes that dependency and costs one withdrawal fee. For a trading balance, staying put is reasonable; for a long hold, most people move.
Which network should I use for ARCH?
ARCH is issued on 2 networks and they are not interchangeable — ARCH sent over ARCH will not arrive at an address on ARCHWAY. ARCH is the one most exchanges use (1 of them). Withdrawal fees differ per network too, sometimes by an order of magnitude, so the cheapest network is worth checking as well as the cheapest exchange.
Exchange coverage for ARCH comes from each exchange’s own deposit and withdrawal endpoints (last sync 2026-08-29 00:53 UTC); trading fees are the published base tier, no volume discount applied (verified 2026-08-28). Exchanges we have a referral arrangement with appear first and are tagged as such — it changes no number in any row. Nothing here is investment advice; see our methodology.
