How to Buy Hatom (HTM)Every exchange we track that lists HTM, what the buy costs, and what it costs to take HTM with you afterwards.
2 of the exchanges we track list HTM, and 2 of those accept fiat, so you can buy it without holding crypto first. The cheapest place to place the order is MEXC at $0.50 on a $1,000 market buy. It is also the cheapest once the withdrawal fee is added — $0.53 to buy $1,000 of HTM and move it to your own wallet. Every exchange sends HTM over MultiversX, so there is no network to get wrong.
All-in cost is the trading fee on a $1,000 market buy plus the cheapest fee that exchange charges to withdraw HTM. 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.

Showing 1–2 of 2 exchanges listing HTM
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 HTM.
MEXC, at $0.53 to buy $1,000 of HTM and withdraw it — $0.50 in trading fee plus $0.03048 to move it out over MultiversX. 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%.
Indirectly, yes. 2 of the exchanges listing HTM accept a card (MEXC, Gate), but the card almost always buys a major asset — USDT, USDC, BTC — which you then swap for HTM on the same exchange. That means two fees: the card charge, then the trading fee in the table.
Yes, and it is worth checking before you choose where to buy. It is a flat amount of HTM, set by each exchange per network, so it does not scale with the size of your purchase — the cheapest in the table is $0.03048 on MEXC. Our full HTM withdrawal fee table compares every exchange and every network.
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 $0.03048 for HTM. For a trading balance, staying put is reasonable; for a long hold, most people move.
