Today, we're going to guide you through the process of buying a meme coin with the help of an example. Once you get the basics down, be it Dogecoin or Shiba Inu, you can buy any coin available on that platform.

Quick Step-by-Step Flow Chart

For those looking for a quick overview, here’s a step-by-step flow chart that outlines the entire process at a glance. Refer to this chart if you want a visual guide to follow alongside the detailed steps below.

With that said, let's start by going over the entire procedure. Here's what you're going learn through this guide:
  • Buying a meme coin through MEXC
  • Buy a meme coin through Phantom Wallet
  • Buy a meme coin through Trust Wallet
With that said, let's start by going over the entire procedure.

Understanding the Meme Coin You Want to Buy

Before purchasing a meme coin, it’s crucial to understand which exchanges support it and which blockchains it is available on. Some meme coins may not be listed on major exchanges or may only be available on less reliable platforms. This is why thorough research is essential to confirm which exchanges support a particular meme coin.

For this guide, we’ll use SPX6900 as an example. We’ve chosen this meme coin because it is not available on prominent platforms like Binance. That’s why the first step is to identify the exchange that supports this meme coin, which you can check on CoinMarketCap (CMC).

Once you search for the SPX6900 and open the page on CMC, you can explore both centralised and decentralised exchanges in the “Market” section. A centralised exchange is controlled by a central authority, while a decentralised exchange lets users trade directly with each other. In addition to that, in the “Pair” column, you’ll find options to buy SPX using USDT. This guide will also explain how to utilise a trading pair for an exchange.

Now, the next thing you need to check is which blockchain the meme coin or, in this case, SPX is available on. If a coin is available on multiple blockchains, choosing the right one can save you a lot in terms of transfer fees and gas fees.

On the website, the blockchain section is visible under the “Contracts”, which is easily visible on the left-hand side of the page. If you click on the dropdown icon, you will be able to see all the blockchains this coin is available on.

However, if you’re using a phone and using the CoinMarketCap app for the first time, you might not know where this section is. To look up the blockchain for meme coins you have to follow these steps.

  • Go to the CoinMarketCap and look up SPX6900.
 

aligncenter size-full wp-image-304544

 

  • Scroll down to the bottom and tap the "Contracts" option.
 

aligncenter size-full wp-image-304545

 

  • Check which blockchains this meme coin is available on.
 

aligncenter size-full wp-image-304546

 

For SPX6900, we'll be using the Ethereum blockchain.

Step-By-Step Guide for Buying a Meme Coin

The very step in buying any crypto token is knowing which exchange you will use.

Step 1: Select an Exchange

The main issue beginners face when buying a meme coin is finding the right exchange. Finding a reliable and trustworthy platform is the key. To buy SPX, you must register on a cryptocurrency exchange that supports SPX6900. Here are some popular exchanges:
  • MEXC
  • BingX
  • BitMart
  • LBank
  • CoinW
Ensure the exchange supports SPX in your region and review its fees and features. For this guide on how to buy a meme coin, we'll be using MEXC.
  • Go to the app store and download the MEXC app on your phone.
 

aligncenter size-full wp-image-304547

 

Step 2: Login to Your Account

Once the app is installed, the next step is to log in to your account.
  • We'll be using our Gmail account to log in quickly.
 

aligncenter size-full wp-image-304548

 

Note: To do any exchange or trading, you must have a verified account.

Step 3: Adding Funds to Your Account

aligncenter size-full wp-image-304549

 

Now that your account is ready, you need to have funds to buy a meme coin. There are usually several options to fund your account. You can choose from the following options if you don't have any crypto assets.

  • Buy Crypto: Supports buying crypto with Visa, Mastercard, PayPal, and bank transfer.
  • P2P Trading: You can buy directly from another user on the platform.
However, if you have crypto assets in your account, you can go with the:
  • Deposit Crypto: Transfer crypto from other crypto wallets or platforms.
Before proceeding, make sure you are aware of deposit fees and transfer times. Once you've deposited GBP into your account, you'll have to convert it into USDT. It's a fairly simple process. However, we'll be adding USDT directly to your wallet using a credit/debit card.
  • First, you need to open the MEXC app and tap on the "Wallets" section.
 

aligncenter size-full wp-image-304550

 

  • Tap on the "Deposit" button.
 

aligncenter size-full wp-image-304551

 

  • Select the "Buy Crypto" option.
 

aligncenter size-full wp-image-304552

 

  • Enter the GBP you want to spend, select the payment method of credit/debit card, and tap on the "Buy USDT" button.
 

aligncenter size-full wp-image-304553

 

Note: Make sure that the currency you want to buy is set to USDT.

Step 4: Buying a Meme Coin

We're going to show you different ways to buy a meme coin.

Through MEXC

Now that your Binance account is ready, we can proceed with learning how to buy a meme coin. The first step is to verify you have USDT in your wallet.
  • Go to the "Wallets" section on the bottom corner of your phone.
 

aligncenter size-full wp-image-304554

 

  • Check whether or not you have enough USDT.
 

aligncenter size-full wp-image-304555

 

Note: If you don't have enough USDT, then you'll need to use your funds to buy some.

  • Now, go to the homepage and search for "SPX/USDT" in the search bar.
 

aligncenter size-full wp-image-304556

 

  • Tap on the "Buy" button for SPX6900.
 

aligncenter size-full wp-image-304557

 

  • Add a minimum of 2 USDT and tap the "Buy SPX" button.
 

aligncenter size-full wp-image-304558

 

Phantom Wallet

Now, if you want to buy meme coins using a decentralised blockchain, you should choose a hot wallet to swap USDT for SPX. To do this, you need to first install and set up a wallet on Phantom Wallet.
  • Download the "Phantom Wallets" app to your mobile phone.

  • Once downloaded, open the app and agree to the terms of service. After that, tap on the "Create a new wallet" button.

5

 

  • Now, your account is ready. Just tap on the "Get Started" button.
 

6

 

Now that you set up the wallet, you need to add USDT to your Phantom Wallet. Since SPX6900 is a major meme coin, we can buy it through any blockchain. We'll be using Ethereum.

  • Go to the MEXC app and tap on the "Wallets" icon.
 

aligncenter size-full wp-image-304559

 

  • Now, tap on the "Withdraw" button.
 

aligncenter size-full wp-image-304560

aligncenter size-full wp-image-304567

aligncenter size-full wp-image-304562

 

  • Now open your Phantom Wallet and tap on the "Ethereum" option.

18

 

  • Go back and paste the previously copied USDT address of your Phantom Wallet.

  • Enter the amount of USDT you want to send and tap on the "Withdraw" button.
  • Tap on the "Confirm" button.
  • Complete the authentication process for both Email and the Authenticator App.
After the verification process is complete, the USDT on the Ethereum network will be transferred to your Phantom Wallet.

Now that you have USDT in your wallet, we can proceed with learning how to buy a meme coin. As mentioned before, we'll be swapping out USDT for SPX.

  • Start by opening your Phantom Wallet again and tap on the USDT network.
 

4

 

  • Now tap on the "Swap" icon.
 

5

 

  • Set the bottom coin to "SPX6900" on the Ethereum blockchain and the upper coin to "USDT" on the ETH blockchain.
 

aligncenter size-full wp-image-304563

 

Make sure to check the Ethereum blockchain symbol under the SPX image. Also, ensure that the coin you choose has an identical price with minor changes and the same four characters as the contract mentioned on CoinMarketCap.

  • Now, enter the amount and trap it on the "Review Order" button.
 

aligncenter size-full wp-image-304564

 

After making sure everything is alright, tap on the "Swap" button and the coins will be added to your wallet.

Note: Make sure you have ETH as the Gas Fee for any transaction or swaps.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.

No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.

Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.

We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.
