How to Buy MAX Exchange TokenEvery exchange we track that lists MAX, what the buy costs, and what it costs to take MAX with you afterwards.
9 of the exchanges we track list MAX, and 8 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 — $0.50 to buy $1,000 of MAX and move it to your own wallet. MAX moves over 3 networks (Ethereum (ERC20), Polygon, Solana) — pick the same one on the exchange withdrawal screen and in your wallet. 1 of them has MAX withdrawals paused right now — you can buy there, but you cannot take the coin with you until it reopens.
All-in cost is the trading fee on a $1,000 market buy plus the cheapest fee that exchange charges to withdraw MAX. 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 1–9 of 9 exchanges listing MAX
On 9 exchanges we track: MEXC, Gate, Bitget, OKX, Bitunix and 4 more. The table above has each one with its trading fee, the payment methods it takes and what it charges to withdraw MAX.
MEXC, at $0.50 to buy $1,000 of MAX and withdraw it — $0.50 in trading fee plus $0.00 to move it out over Ethereum (ERC20). 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. 6 of the exchanges listing MAX accept a card, but the card almost always buys a major asset — USDT, USDC, BTC — which you then swap for MAX on the same exchange. That means two fees: the card charge, then the trading fee in the table.
Every exchange charges one, as a flat amount of MAX per network rather than a percentage. We do not have a priced figure for all of the venues listing MAX yet — the MAX withdrawal fee page has whatever each exchange publishes.
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.
MAX is issued on 3 networks and they are not interchangeable — MAX sent over Ethereum (ERC20) will not arrive at an address on Polygon. Ethereum (ERC20) is the one most exchanges use (7 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 MAX 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.
