Binance is constantly reviewing and adding cryptocurrencies that can be used on the Binance platform. If you would like to know where to buy IDEAS, which is currently not listed on Binance, you can follow the step-by-step guide below.
The most straightforward way is to find a reliable centralized exchange where you can buy IDEAS, similar to Binance. You can refer to Coinmarketcap.com's Markets section to find the list of centralized exchange the coin is listed on.
Another option to buy the IDEAS is through a decentralized exchange (DEX) which supports the blockchain where your IDEAS resides. This guide will show you how to buy IDEAS by connecting your crypto wallet to a decentralized exchange (DEX) and using your Binance account to buy the base currency.

Download a Trust Wallet Wallet
There are several crypto wallets to choose from within the Ethereum network and Trust Wallet appears to be the most integrated. If you are using a desktop computer, you can download Google Chrome and the wallet Chrome extension. If you prefer using your mobile phone, you can download the wallet via Google Play or the iOS App Store if it’s available. Just make sure that you are downloading the official Chrome extension and mobile app by visiting Trust Wallet’s website.

Set up your Trust Wallet
Register and set up the crypto wallet via the wallet’s Google Chrome extension or via the mobile app you downloaded in Step 1. You may refer to the wallet’s support page for reference. Make sure to keep your seed phrase safe, and take note of your wallet address. You will be using it later on Steps 4 and 6.

Buy ETH as Your Base Currency
Once your wallet is setup, you can login to your Binance account and proceed to the Binance Crypto webpage to buy the ETH. If you are not an existing user, you can refer to our How to Buy ETH guide on registering and buying your first cryptocurrency on Binance.
