What's HOP?

HOP is a digital token that helps make moving money between different blockchains easier and faster. Imagine you have a toy that can only be used in one room, but you want to play with it in another room too. HOP acts like a special pass that lets your toy move between rooms without any trouble. It solves the problem of making sure your digital money can be used in different places smoothly.

How can I buy HOP?

1) Visit OKX and create an account by providing your email and setting a password. 2) Complete identity verification by uploading necessary documents. 3) Fund your account using a bank transfer, credit card, or other local payment methods like ACH. 4) Once your account is funded, search for HOP in the marketplace. 5) Place a buy order by entering the amount of HOP you wish to purchase and confirm the transaction.

Why do people buy HOP?

People buy HOP because it helps them move digital money across different blockchain networks easily. This is useful for those who want to use their digital assets in various applications without hassle. HOP is part of a growing ecosystem that supports seamless transactions, making it relevant in the crypto industry. However, it's important to understand that HOP's value comes from its utility, not from making money.

Things to know before buying HOP in the United States

In the United States, cryptocurrencies like HOP are legal but regulated. You must complete KYC (Know Your Customer) and AML (Anti-Money Laundering) checks when setting up an account. Be aware that any gains from selling HOP may be subject to capital gains tax. If you earn HOP through staking or other means, it might be considered taxable income. Always consult a tax professional for detailed advice.

What are other ways to own HOP?

You can obtain HOP without buying it by participating in airdrops, where tokens are distributed for free to eligible users. Some platforms offer Learn-and-Earn programs, rewarding you with HOP for completing educational tasks. Participating in network activities like staking or providing liquidity can also earn you HOP. These methods require effort and understanding of the risks involved, such as market volatility and technical requirements.

How can I store my HOP?

To keep your HOP safe, you can choose between custodial and non-custodial storage. Custodial wallets are managed by platforms like OKX, offering convenience but requiring trust. Non-custodial wallets give you full control, like a digital safe. Hot wallets are online and easy to access, while cold wallets are offline and more secure. Always back up your wallet, keep recovery phrases safe, and use strong passwords to protect your assets.
