How to Buy Cronos ID (CROID)
Every exchange we track that lists CROID, what the buy costs, and what it costs to take CROID with you afterwards.
CROID is thin on the ground: exactly one exchange we track lists it, Crypto.com Exchange. With a single venue there is nothing to compare on price, so the thing worth checking is whether withdrawals are open before you buy. The cheapest place to place the order is Crypto.com Exchange at $5.00 on a $1,000 market buy. It is also the cheapest once the withdrawal fee is added — $5.02 to buy $1,000 of CROID and move it to your own wallet. Every exchange sends CROID over Cronos, so there is no network to get wrong.

Where to buy CROID
All-in cost is the trading fee on a $1,000 market buy plus the cheapest fee that exchange charges to withdraw CROID. 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 CROID step by step
- Pick a venue from the table. For a coin this size the choice is usually short — 1 exchange lists CROID at all, and the table already shows what you will pay to leave as well as to buy.
- Fund the account. 1 of those exchanges takes fiat, 0 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 CROID on the exchange is free but custodial. Moving it to a wallet that supports it costs one withdrawal fee, from $0.01641 — send a small test amount first, and match the network on both sides.
How to buy CROID — FAQ
Where can I buy Cronos ID (CROID)?
On 1 exchange we track: Crypto.com Exchange. The table above has its trading fee, the payment methods it takes and what it charges to withdraw CROID.
What is the cheapest way to buy CROID?
Crypto.com Exchange, at $5.02 to buy $1,000 of CROID and withdraw it — $5.00 in trading fee plus $0.01641 to move it out over Cronos. If you are leaving the coin on the exchange, only the first half applies and a different venue may win. Paying by card adds the card processor's charge on top of both, typically 1.8–4%.
Can I buy CROID with a credit card?
None of the exchanges listing CROID takes a card for it directly. The usual route is to buy USDT with a card on an exchange that does, withdraw it, and trade it for CROID on one of the venues above. Budget for the card charge, the USDT withdrawal fee and the trade.
Do I have to pay a fee to withdraw CROID?
Yes, and it is worth checking before you choose where to buy. It is a flat amount of CROID, set by each exchange per network, so it does not scale with the size of your purchase — the cheapest in the table is $0.01641 on Crypto.com Exchange. Our full CROID withdrawal fee table compares every exchange and every network.
Is it safe to leave CROID 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 — from $0.01641 for CROID. For a trading balance, staying put is reasonable; for a long hold, most people move.
