UK-based crypto traders continue to face hurdles finding platforms for buying Pi after recent inquiries on forums highlight their challenges. As regulations tighten, opinions on available exchanges are emerging.
A trading novice's post sparked considerable discussion, stating they had completed the mainnet checklist and had their mined Pi locked away. They expressed frustration about limited access to trading platforms. Community members quickly responded with suggestions.
Several platforms gained traction during the forum discussions:
MEXC
Some users shared positive experiences, with one noting, "I've been trading on MEXC for a few months with no issues. You can buy coins and trade futures, unlike OKX." Its low fees and minimal KYC are highlights for many.
Gate.io
A user from Ireland mentioned their positive experiences, indicating smooth transactions, which could appeal to others in the region.
Bitget
Users noted it for trading Pi and using Coinbase for fiat withdrawals, although they mentioned needing to complete KYC and transaction fees.
One trader explained, "It costs 0.1 USDT or USDC to transfer from Bitget to Coinbase. The spread is around Β£5-6 for every Β£1,000 changed to fiat."
Interestingly, another user added, "Just do the minimum KYC for now," suggesting a workaround for those wary of full verification.
Responses varied, with some users optimistic about potential trading options while others remained skeptical about currently available platforms.
"Thank you for the recommendation, Iβll have to check this one out in the evening," indicated a collaborative environment, as users seek to help each other.
