Buying · Q&A
3 QUESTIONSHow do I buy USDS?+
On exchanges or on a DEX with a self-custody wallet (no KYC), or converted 1:1 from DAI in the Sky app. The yield comes from staking it as sUSDS, which earns the Sky Savings Rate. The token runs on Ethereum / Solana / Base (+4).
Do I need KYC to buy USDS?+
Not on the secondary market: USDS can be bought on a DEX without identity verification.
Can I buy USDS in the EU?+
Not reliably. USDS 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.
