Buying DAI: common questions

How do I buy DAI?

On exchanges or on a DEX with a self-custody wallet (no KYC). DAI can also be generated without KYC by depositing collateral in the Sky protocol, or swapped 1:1 against USDC in its peg stability module. The token runs on Ethereum / Polygon / Fantom (+46).

Do I need KYC to buy DAI?

Not on the secondary market: DAI can be bought on a DEX without identity verification.

Can I buy DAI in the EU?

Not reliably. DAI has no central issuer that could be authorised under MiCA, and many EU-regulated platforms have stopped offering it. You can still swap into it on a DEX from your own wallet. Issued by the Sky protocol with no central issuer to authorise; major EU platforms delisted it alongside USDT.
