How do I find the best places to buy Augur?

Cryptocurrency exchanges offer similar services, but differ in a few key ways – mainly fees, the range of cryptos available and payment methods. You can use our table to compare the features of popular cryptocurrency exchanges available in Singapore to help you choose the one that's right for you.

Some other factors you may want to consider are customer support, user reviews, ease of use and whether or not the exchange is registered with a local regulator. This information can be found by clicking on the exchange name in the table which will take you to its review page.

What will I need to buy Augur?

To create an account on any cryptocurrency exchange you will need an email address. Some exchanges may also ask for a phone number and photo ID, so it's a good idea to have those ready.

An increasing number of cryptocurrency exchanges will ask to verify your identity before you can deposit funds and start trading Augur.

  • This process is known as Know Your Customer (KYC) and usually requires photo ID and a webcam or smartphone. You may also need to prove your address by uploading a copy of a recent bank statement or utility bill.
  • Some exchanges allow you to deposit and trade cryptocurrencies without passing KYC, but they will not allow you to transfer local currency from your bank account. So if you are planning on purchasing REP with your local currency then you will need to pass KYC.
  • Once you have verified your identity, it is a good idea to enable 2-factor authentication (2FA) before depositing any funds. This will increase the security of your account and help keep your funds safe.

What are the best ways to buy Augur?

Once you've created an account, you will need to deposit funds to buy REP with. You can either deposit local currency from a bank account or credit card, or transfer cryptocurrency from another exchange or wallet. Here are some popular ways to buy REP:

  • Bank account: Transfers from local bank accounts are usually free, but you will need to double-check this with the exchange you choose – this information can be found in our table by clicking on 'view details'.
  • Credit or debit card: Linking a card to your account is another convenient way to top up your account, but be aware that it usually attracts an additional fee. An advantage, though, is that you can use a card to make instant purchases or set up a recurring purchase.
  • Cryptocurrency: You can usually purchase REP by trading it for another cryptocurrency like Bitcoin or a stablecoin. This varies between exchanges though, so you will need to search for REP on the spot market to see what cryptocurrencies it can be traded for.

What is the easiest way to buy Augur?

The easiest way to buy REP is by placing an 'instant buy' order to purchase it for a fixed price but not all crypto exchanges offer this feature.

Alternatively, you can open a trade on the spot market which allows you to set your own price – this is the most common way to purchase cryptocurrency. Using the instant buy feature is straightforward but typically more expensive than using the spot market.

Before buying REP, you may want to check the market conditions. To help you decide if now is the right time to buy, you can take a look at our Analysis tools to get an idea of how the price of Augur has been performing recently.

Is Augur a good investment?

When deciding whether or not to invest in a cryptocurrency, it’s important that you’re aware of a number of factors that may influence the asset’s price. In the case of REP, here are some things you should know:

  • Token use-case: The REP token itself is an ERC20 token that functions as a license to use the platform and is the main currency of exchange on Augur. It is used for buying shares and paying the nominal fees associated with participating and creating events. The total supply of Augur is 11 million, without any kind of mining program, and it’s a divisible token.
  • Ethics: While Augur is framed as a soothsaying/predictions platform, its most viable real-world use will be as a betting platform, particularly for sports. Gambling is illegal in a number of countries and cultures and there is a lot of debate regarding the ethics of this activity. If you are against gambling, it would make sense to avoid investing in REP. Even if Augur is more transparent and reputable than other betting companies, governments are typically strict with regulations on those types of platforms. This could end up defeating the purpose of the platform’s decentralised nature.
  • Opposition: One concern traders need to consider is whether established industries will oppose Augur. Traders may find that Augur’s potential for gambling, insider trading and accurate predictions will give lobbyists a lot of ammunition. This is not only pertinent to anti-gambling establishments, but also betting platforms that begin to lose clientele.
