How to Buy ModeEvery exchange we track that lists MODE, what the buy costs, and what it costs to take MODE with you afterwards.
8 of the exchanges we track list MODE, 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 MODE and move it to your own wallet. MODE moves over 2 networks (Mode, Ethereum (ERC20)) — pick the same one on the exchange withdrawal screen and in your wallet. 4 of them have MODE 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 MODE. 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 1–8 of 8 exchanges listing MODE
On 8 exchanges we track: MEXC, Gate, Bitget, CoinEx, HTX and 3 more. The table above has each one with its trading fee, the payment methods it takes and what it charges to withdraw MODE.
MEXC, at $0.50 to buy $1,000 of MODE and withdraw it — $0.50 in trading fee plus $0.0007567 to move it out over Mode. 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. 5 of the exchanges listing MODE accept a card, but the card almost always buys a major asset — USDT, USDC, BTC — which you then swap for MODE 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 MODE, set by each exchange per network, so it does not scale with the size of your purchase — the cheapest in the table is $0.0007567 on MEXC. Our full MODE 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 $0.0007567 for MODE. For a trading balance, staying put is reasonable; for a long hold, most people move.
MODE is issued on 2 networks and they are not interchangeable — MODE sent over Mode will not arrive at an address on Ethereum (ERC20). Mode is the one most exchanges use (3 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 MODE 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.
