How to buy Tokocrypto (TKO) in the UK

Learn how to buy Tokocrypto (TKO) in our step-by-step guide.

Where to buy Tokocrypto in the UK

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

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

Decentralised exchanges (DEX) are unregulated and run using autonomous pieces of code known as smart contracts. To use a DEX you must interact with the blockchain directly, which is not recommended for novice users. Please learn about decentralised exchanges first if you're unfamiliar.

How to purchase TKO using a decentralised exchange.
  1. Find TKO on a decentralised exchange and make sure Tokocrypto can be traded for BNB which is the native asset of Binance. The most popular DEX on Binance Smart Chain is PancakeSwap.
  2. Buy BNB to trade for TKO using an exchange like GlobalBlock. You will need to purchase enough BNB to swap for TKO as well as BNB to pay for transaction fees (known as gas) on the BSC network, which usually costs less than a dollar.
  3. Transfer the BNB into a a web 3.0 wallet like MetaMask to connect to the DEX.
  4. Trade BNB for TKO on PancakeSwap, following the instructions on screen. Make sure to leave enough BNB in your wallet to pay for gas.
  5. Wait for the transaction to finalise and the TKO 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 Tokocrypto wallets to store your TKO

You can keep your TKO 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 TKO below.

Is Tokocrypto a good investment?

Tokocrypto relies on an unusual model; there aren't too many tokens native to an exchange. By connecting Binance's own blockchain to one of the world's most active crypto communities, the company hopes to tap a market with major room for growth.
  • NFT potential. With its own TKO NFT Arcade, the Tokocrypto exchange hopes to become Indonesia's biggest NFT marketplace and a global player in the NFT market.
  • CeFi and DeFi together. TKO combines old and new methods of making investors' money work for them. Users can invest, save and earn interest on their tokens after the manner of traditional CeFi services. The token can also be staked like a typical cryptocurrency, and can be loaned as with other DeFi tokens. This flexibility ties in to the educational aspect of the exchange – investors can use TKO within the CeFi and DeFi worlds and gain experience along the way. It remains to be seen whether users will be drawn to TKO's flexibility, or instead opt for tokens focused on one model or the other.
  • Real-world and digital positioning. Since its founding in 2018, the Tokocrypto exchange has been Indonesia's fastest-growing exchange. The TKO token uses the Binance Smart Chain, and part of the ICO for TKO was held on Binance – the world's largest cryptocurrency exchange. Investors in TKO hope to take advantage of a token with great growth potential with real-world and digital support.
  • Short track record. TKO's Binance-based ICO was held in March 2021. As of this writing, less than a quarter of available tokens were in circulation. As liquidity increases, the token price could vary widely – though not without risk.
