How to Purchase NEAR Protocol (NEAR) with Bitcoin (BTC)

To purchase NEAR Protocol using Bitcoin, first, find a cryptocurrency exchange that supports the NEAR/BTC trading pair, such as Nexo, YouHodler, Binance or BTSE. Create an account, verify your identity, and deposit your BTC into your exchange wallet. Locate the NEAR/BTC pair on the trading platform and place an order to exchange your Bitcoin for NEAR Protocol. If the NEAR/BTC pair is unavailable, you can first exchange Bitcoin for a stablecoin like Tether (USDT) or a fiat currency, then trade that for NEAR Protocol. Be mindful of potential exchange fees, which vary by platform and can affect the total cost of your transaction.
