How to Buy Request (REQ)
Every exchange we track that lists REQ, what the buy costs, and what it costs to take REQ with you afterwards.
16 of the exchanges we track list REQ, and 14 of those accept fiat, so you can buy it without holding crypto first. The cheapest place to place the order is KCEX at $0.00 on a $1,000 market buy. But add the fee to move REQ off the exchange and the order changes: MEXC comes out lowest at $0.78 all-in, against $1.02 on the cheapest trading fee. The withdrawal fee is flat, so the smaller your buy, the more it decides where you should buy. Every exchange sends REQ over Ethereum (ERC20), so there is no network to get wrong. 1 of them has REQ withdrawals paused right now — you can buy there, but you cannot take the coin with you until it reopens.

Where to buy REQ
All-in cost is the trading fee on a $1,000 market buy plus the cheapest fee that exchange charges to withdraw REQ. 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 REQ step by step
- Pick a venue from the table. For a coin this size the choice is usually short — 16 exchanges list REQ at all, and the table already shows what you will pay to leave as well as to buy.
- Fund the account. 14 of those exchanges take fiat, 9 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 REQ on the exchange is free but custodial. Moving it to a wallet that supports it costs one withdrawal fee, from $0.2829 — send a small test amount first, and match the network on both sides.
How to buy REQ — FAQ
Where can I buy Request (REQ)?
On 16 exchanges we track: MEXC, Binance, Gate, KCEX, DigiFinex and 11 more. The table above has each one with its trading fee, the payment methods it takes and what it charges to withdraw REQ.
What is the cheapest way to buy REQ?
MEXC, at $0.78 to buy $1,000 of REQ and withdraw it — $0.50 in trading fee plus $0.2829 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%.
Can I buy REQ with a credit card?
Indirectly, yes. 9 of the exchanges listing REQ accept a card, but the card almost always buys a major asset — USDT, USDC, BTC — which you then swap for REQ 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 REQ?
Yes, and it is worth checking before you choose where to buy. It is a flat amount of REQ, set by each exchange per network, so it does not scale with the size of your purchase — the cheapest in the table is $0.2829 on MEXC. Our full REQ withdrawal fee table compares every exchange and every network.
Is it safe to leave REQ 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 $0.2829 for REQ. For a trading balance, staying put is reasonable; for a long hold, most people move.
Exchange coverage for REQ 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.
