How to sell UST tokens
Here are 5 ways that you can sell UST to another cryptocurrency:
- Terra Station
- Binance
- KuCoin
- Bitfinex
- Huobi
This is a summary of all the platforms,
Platform | Trading Fees |
---|---|
Terra Station | High spread |
Binance | Up to 0.1% |
KuCoin | Up to 0.1% |
Bitifinex | Up to 0.2% |
Huobi | Up to 0.2% |
and here is each one explained further:
Terra Station
After you have withdrawn UST from the Anchor Protocol, you will receive it back in your Terra Station wallet.
You may notice that the aUST in your Terra Station wallet is converted to UST, and you can find out the differences between these 2 currencies here.
After that, you can go to ‘Swap‘,
![Terra Station Select Swap Terra Station Select Swap](https://thefipharmacist.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/Terra-Station-Select-Swap.png)
and then select a cryptocurrency that you’ll wish to swap from UST.
![Terra Station UST Swap Terra Station UST Swap](https://thefipharmacist.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/Terra-Station-UST-Swap-918x1024.png)
You can select the amount of UST that you wish to swap, and view the corresponding fee.
![Terra Station Sell UST Transaction Terra Station Sell UST Transaction](https://thefipharmacist.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/Terra-Station-Sell-UST-Transaction-833x1024.png)
Verdict
Although the transaction fee is rather low, the spread for trading UST to another cryptocurrency is quite bad on Terra Station.
This means that you may not exchange your UST at a favourable rate!
As such, it may be better to use an exchange where you can trade at close to the market rate.
Binance
Binance is another platform where you can sell UST to another cryptocurrency.
First, you will need to deposit UST from Terra Station to your Binance account.
You will need to go to ‘Wallet‘, and then ‘Fiat/Spot‘.
![Binance Wallet Fiat Spot Binance Wallet Fiat Spot](https://thefipharmacist.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Binance-Wallet-Fiat-Spot.png)
And then select ‘Deposit’ for UST.
![Binance UST Deposit Binance UST Deposit](https://thefipharmacist.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/Binance-UST-Deposit-1024x91.png)
You will need to withdraw UST from your Terra Station wallet to your Binance account using the Terra network deposit address.
![Binance Terra Deposit Address Binance Terra Deposit Address](https://thefipharmacist.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/Binance-Terra-Deposit-Address-1024x775.png)
If you send UST to another deposit address on Binance that does not start with ‘terra‘, your funds may be lost forever! Moreover, don’t forget to include the memo when you are sending UST to Binance.
Once you have UST credited to your Binance account, you can trade it for these 5 cryptocurrencies:
- USDT
- BUSD
- BTC
- ETH
- LUNA
![Binance UST Trading Pairs Binance UST Trading Pairs](https://thefipharmacist.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/Binance-UST-Trading-Pairs.png)
This allows you to sell your UST for another cryptocurrency.
Verdict
Binance charges up to 0.1% for each trade that you make, which is rather reasonable!
KuCoin
Another platform that you can sell UST on is KuCoin.
You’ll need to deposit UST into KuCoin by going to ‘Deposit‘.
![KuCoin Select Deposit KuCoin Select Deposit](https://thefipharmacist.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/KuCoin-Select-Deposit-1024x99.png)
You can use the dropdown menu to select UST.
![KuCoin UST Deposit KuCoin UST Deposit](https://thefipharmacist.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/KuCoin-UST-Deposit-1024x535.png)
From there, you will be given a deposit address to send your crypto to.
![KuCoin UST Deposit Address KuCoin UST Deposit Address](https://thefipharmacist.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/KuCoin-UST-Deposit-Address-1024x871.png)
You are able to send UST to KuCoin using either the Terra network or ERC20.
If you are using the Terra network, don’t forget to include the memo!
When you deposit your UST into your KuCoin account, it will be transferred to your Main Account.
![KuCoin Different Accounts KuCoin Different Accounts](https://thefipharmacist.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/KuCoin-Different-Accounts.png)
If you wish to sell UST, you will need to transfer it to your Trading Account.
![KuCoin Transfer UST KuCoin Transfer UST](https://thefipharmacist.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/KuCoin-Transfer-UST.png)
After you’ve transferred your crypto to your Trading Account, you can go to KuCoin’s Spot Exchange.
![KuCoin Access Spot KuCoin Access Spot](https://thefipharmacist.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/KuCoin-Access-Spot-Exchange.png)
This will bring you to KuCoin’s trading platform.
![KuCoin Spot Trading Platform KuCoin Spot Trading Platform](https://thefipharmacist.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/KuCoin-Spot-Trading-Platform-1024x377.png)
There are a few cryptocurrencies that you can sell UST for, including:
- USDT
- BTC
- USDC
- LUNA
- ATOM
KuCoin allows you to make 4 different orders:
- Limit
- Market
- Stop Limit
- Stop Market
![KuCoin Sell USDT For UST KuCoin Sell USDT For UST](https://thefipharmacist.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/KuCoin-Sell-USDT-For-UST.png)
Verdict
KuCoin charges up to 0.1% if you trade on their platform, which is similar to Binance.
Bitfinex
Bitfinex is another platform that allows you to sell UST for another cryptocurrency.
First, you’ll need to deposit UST by going ‘Wallet → Deposit‘,
![Bitfinex Wallet Deposit Bitfinex Wallet Deposit](https://thefipharmacist.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/Bitfinex-Wallet-Deposit.png)
and then search for UST (TerraUSD).
![Bitfinex Search UST Bitfinex Search UST](https://thefipharmacist.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/Bitfinex-Search-UST.png)
This will show you the deposit address that you’ll need to send UST to.
![Bitfinex Deposit UST Address Bitfinex Deposit UST Address](https://thefipharmacist.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/Bitfinex-Deposit-UST-Address-1024x211.png)
Bitfinex only accepts UST deposits via the Terra network, and not the ERC20 network.
Once you have deposited UST, you will need to go to the trading platform to sell UST for another cryptocurrency or USD.
![Bitfinex UST Trading Pair Bitfinex UST Trading Pair](https://thefipharmacist.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/Bitfinex-UST-Trading-Pair.png)
Verdict
Bitfinex charges up to 0.2% for each trade, which is more expensive than Binance or KuCoin. However, it allows you to trade UST directly to UST.
Huobi
The last platform that you can sell UST on is Huobi.
Similar to other platforms, you will need to deposit UST to Huobi by going to the ‘Exchange Account‘.
![Huobi Select Exchange Account Huobi Select Exchange Account](https://thefipharmacist.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Huobi-Select-Exchange-Account.png)
After searching for UST,
![Huobi Search For uST 1 Huobi Search For uST 1](https://thefipharmacist.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/Huobi-Search-For-uST-1-1024x61.png)
you can click on the deposit button, which will give you a Terra network deposit address.
![Huobi UST Deposit Address Huobi UST Deposit Address](https://thefipharmacist.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/Huobi-UST-Deposit-Address-1024x441.png)
This means that you can’t send the ERC20 version of UST to Huobi.
Once UST has been deposited, you can go to the Trading platform (Exchange),
![Huobi Spot Trading Huobi Spot Trading](https://thefipharmacist.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Huobi-Spot-Trading-Exchange.png)
and search for a UST trading pair.
![Huobi UST Trading Pair Huobi UST Trading Pair](https://thefipharmacist.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/Huobi-UST-Trading-Pair.png)
You can trade UST for other cryptocurrencies, such as:
- LUNA
- MIR
However, you will need to search for ‘LUNA’ or ‘MIR’ to obtain that trading pair.
Verdict
Similar to Bitfinex, Huobi charges up to 0.2% for each trade.
Conclusion
There are not many platforms where you can sell UST to another cryptocurrency or fiat currency.
If you wish to sell UST directly to fiat, the best way would be to send it to Bitfinex and trade it directly to USD.
However, you will incur a 60 USD withdrawal fee, which is quite high!
