How to buy HEX (HEX) in the UK

Where to buy HEX in the UK

It looks like HEX may not be available to purchase on an exchange in the UK.

You can still purchase HEX by using a decentralised exchange (DEX) instead. Decentralised exchanges are web applications that run on blockchains like Ethereum and allow users to trade any asset directly with one another.

How to purchase HEX using a decentralised exchange.

1. Find HEX on a decentralised exchange and make sure HEX can be traded for ETH which is the native asset of Ethereum. Popular DEXs include Uniswap, SushiSwap and 1INCH.
2. Buy ETH to trade for HEX using an exchange like CoinJar. You will need to purchase enough ETH to swap for HEX as well as ETH to pay for transaction fees on the Ethereum network (known as gas). You can use a service like Etherscan to get an idea of how much gas fees currently cost.
3. Transfer the ETH into a web 3.0 wallet like MetaMask to connect to the DEX.
4. Trade ETH for HEX on the DEX of your choice, following the instructions on screen. Make sure to leave enough ETH in your wallet to pay for gas.
5. Wait for the transaction to finalise and the HEX tokens will arrive in your wallet.
6. You may now keep the tokens in your web 3.0 wallet or transfer them somewhere more secure like a hardware wallet.

You can follow the same process when you want to sell your tokens, or come back to this page to see if they can now be traded on an exchange in the UK.

Best HEX wallets to store your HEX

You can keep your HEX on the exchange you purchased it on, or move it to a personal wallet:

• Some people like to use their own wallets to guarantee total ownership over their assets, or to use them with other applications like DeFi services.
• Hardware wallets are typically considered to be the safest type of cryptocurrency wallet, as they use a physical device to enhance security in a number of ways. You can take a look at some of our top hardware wallet picks for self-custody of your HEX below.

Is HEX a good investment?

Cryptocurrencies are complicated and volatile, and buying any cryptocurrency involves taking on a high level of risk. There are also myriad factors that can affect the value of any coin or token, so it’s essential to thoroughly research any currency you’re thinking of buying. Some of the factors you may like to consider before buying any HEX tokens include:

• Scam controversy. HEX has come in for plenty of criticism from a range of commentators, with some suggesting it’s a scam or even a borderline ponzi scheme. There’s a section on the HEX website devoted to dealing with scam claims, but the controversy is enough to suggest that this project should be approached with extreme caution.
• Availability. HEX is available on over 20 exchanges, but it wasn’t listed on any of the world’s largest crypto exchanges (in terms of trading volume) at the time of writing. It’s worth considering whether this will have any impact on the future value of HEX.
• Richard Heart. If you want to know more about the man behind HEX, you might like to check out his website.
