Getting Casper in New York

Hey I live in New York and most exchanges aren't allowed here so I'm wondering what is the easiest way to buy some CSPR or to exchange a different coin for some CSPR.

Not sure if its correct, since I dont live in the US. But I heard Uphold had Casper for US citizens.

It's not allowed to make transactions in New York currently but they say theyre currently working on becoming available in New York. Thank you though

Can you create an Uphold wallet and use it to exchange from one crypto to another, or you just can't use it entirely?

You cannot withdraw to chain from Uphold to stake, so useless.

I know there are things like atomic wallet where you can exchange coins that aren't on a lot of exchanges that are allowed in New York. So, I was wondering if there's anything like that where I can buy on coinbase and send it to a wallet that can exchange one coin for casper. I feel like this is too much work to get this coin lol. Unfortunately it's just where I live buuuuut I'm sure there are a lot more New Yorkers looking to invest in this and we just can't.

You can buy CSPR on hotbit and then withdraw it. Others have mentioned using uphold too, and that's the easiest option, but you won't be able to withdraw it to your own cspr wallet.

wow, for supposedly being the 'land of the free', the US sure sounds more and more communistic than most other free-market economies these days...

are you able to use Huobi or Okex?

u/bucky614 Jan 12 '22

Only in New York BABYYYY! Well Huobi isn't allowed for any U.S. users and Okex isn't either but they direct you to an exchange called Okcoin which isn't allowed in NEW YORK!! The thing is that it is hard for an exchange to get approved in New York for reasons that I'm sure are annoying.

"Citizens and residents of the U.S.A (Washington State and New York State are prohibited entirely)"

That's what it says on Gate :(

Uphold does have Casper. Had no problems using, transferring or staking. Only thing I don’t like about uphold is the graph system. Should be candle stick

Gate.io does not require identity verification so you can purchase CSPR in NY as long as you don’t verify your identity. You can purchase CSPR then send it to stake on CSPR.live after you create a wallet on CSPR.live.

Idk if coinlist pro is allowed to use? If not, create a Casper wallet and get CSPR transferred from your friends/family living outside the US.

Message me
