Hive can be bought or sold on many exchanges, such as Binance, Blocktrades, Bittrex, and many others.

See the bottom of https://hive.io for a complete listing of exchanges.

Hive-Engine has many Hive Layer 2 tokens. These can be traded in a few places:

• TribalDex.com
• Hive-Engine.com
• LeoDEX.io

There are also a few “Hive-Engine Classic” exchanges which show usernames involved in trades. These don't always load, but are worth a try.

• https://cfoxon.github.io/
• https://he-market.usehive.com/

HIVE can be obtained in ways aside from purchasing the token aside from a traditional exchange.

• The Hive Keychain wallet has a built-in “buy Hive” functionality.
• The v4v.app tool allows for exchanging Bitcoin (on the Lightning Network) and Hive (both ways).
• Of course, HIVE (and HBD) can be earned via receiving upvotes (curation) for posts or comments.
