# Acquire $REGEN

> ### **Looking for an overview of $REGEN and where it's active?** 👉 **Visit the official** [**$REGEN Coin page**](https://coin.regen.network/) for current prices, supply, network stats, and useful links to Osmosis, Keplr, and Mintscan.

### 1. Acquire USDC

To acquire $REGEN, you’ll first need a commonly traded asset like USDC on the Osmosis decentralized exchange. 

* **Option 1: Use Coinbase or Kraken**
  * Purchase USDC via a centralized exchange (CEX) like [Coinbase](https://www.coinbase.com/) or [Kraken](https://www.kraken.com/), then withdraw it to a wallet that supports Axelar (axlUSDC) or Noble USDC to bridge into Osmosis

**Other options:**

* Use [Squid Router](https://www.squidrouter.com): If you already have crypto on another network (e.g. Ethereum, Polygon), you can use Squid Router to bridge into Osmosis and receive axlUSDC directly.
* Osmosis on-ramp aggregators: Explore third-party options like [Transak](https://transak.com/buy/osmo) or [Skip.money](https://skip.money/) to directly fund your Osmosis wallet with USDC.
* IBC transfers: If you already have USDC on another Cosmos chain (like Noble or Axelar), you can use Osmosis IBC Transfers to move it into Osmosis.

### 2. Trade USDC for $REGEN on Osmosis

a. Visit the [Osmosis App](https://osmosis.zone).
