Compound (COMP) to USD Exchange

What is Compound coin?

Compound is an Ethereum-based decentralized protocol for lending and borrowing cryptocurrencies. COMP is the governance token of the Compound protocol and it is used to vote for all changes to the Compound protocol. Anyone who owns at least 1% of the total COMP supply can propose the protocol changes that can be voted.

The Compound coins are distributed every time an Ethereum block is mined in the amount proportional to the interest accrued by each lent or borrowed asset. Compound staking is not supported currently, but the process of lending and borrowing looks quite similar as coins stay locked on the Compound wallet.

How to trade COMP to USD on CEX.IO Spot Trading?

On CEX.IO Spot Trading, you can trade not only on major pairs like BTC to USD or ETH to EUR but on over 100 crypto-to-crypto and crypto-to-fiat pairs such as Compound coin to USD. To start trading, at first, you need to select the COMP/USD pair from the long list of available markets on CEX.IO Spot Trading. After that, you’ll see a Compound chart with the last price, volume, and other useful information under the chart — like the order book and market depth chart.

Then you need to choose what type of order to place — market order or limit order. A market order allows you to buy or sell the asset instantly for the best available price in the order book and it can’t be canceled once placed. With a limit order, you can set the price you want to buy or sell at, but usually order execution is not instant. You need to wait until the price reaches the specified level or there are orders in the order book to match yours for the particular price. You can cancel the limit order before its full execution. As soon as your order fills, the funds will be allocated to your CEX.IO balance. You can use them for further trading or withdraw as you please.
