    Selecting a platform to buy cryptocurrencies depends on your preferences and needs. Some popular options include Coinbase, Binance, Kraken, and Bitstamp.
    Do any of these allow you to buy MOON?

    I think it's fair to say that Kraken is a widely respected exchange for buying crypto assets you can then self-custody.

    If a roundabout way of getting exposure to Bitcoin and/or cryptocurrency more broadly were desired, one could considering looking into shares in the likes of Microstrategy and/or Coinbase. In February MSTR held 132,500 BTC on their balance sheet and apparently that's grown to 158,245 BTC since September, which would now (24/10/23) be worth over 5.3B. Coinbase [COIN] is obviously heavily correlated with the crypto market due to the nature of its business.
