Why buy on a centralized exchange
A centralized exchange like CetoEX matches buyers and sellers on an order book. You can place limit orders, see depth, and pay with balances you already hold on the platform. For newcomers who do not yet feel comfortable with wallets and contract addresses, an exchange is often the gentler first step.
The trade-off is custody: while your coins sit on the exchange, the exchange controls the private keys. Use it to buy, then move the tokens to a wallet you control.
Step by step on CetoEX
Create an account with your email, set a strong unique password and immediately enable two-factor authentication with an authenticator app. SMS codes are the weakest option and are vulnerable to SIM-swap attacks.
Complete identity verification if your region requires it, then fund the account. Most users deposit USDT on a cheap network such as Solana, BNB Chain or Tron — always match the network you select on the withdrawal side with the network the deposit address belongs to, or the funds can be lost.
Open the RUECAT market, choose Market order for an instant fill or Limit order to set your own price, enter the amount and confirm. Limit orders let you buy the dips patiently instead of chasing green candles.
Withdraw to self-custody
After buying, go to Withdraw, select RUECAT, choose the Solana network and paste your own wallet address. Send a small test amount first, confirm it arrives, then send the rest. This one habit prevents the single most common irreversible loss in crypto.
Not your keys, not your coins. Exchanges are for trading; wallets are for holding.
