New to crypto? How to get SOL or USDC

1 min readUpdated 2 Oct 2026

We only take crypto, and we don't sell it ourselves. Buy SOL or USDC somewhere else first, then send it to your ShaftKings Wallet on the Solana network.

Where people buy it

  • A crypto exchange, such as Coinbase, Kraken or Binance. Which ones you can use depends on where you live.
  • A wallet app, such as Phantom, which can let you buy through partner services.

Then

  1. Sign up, and verify your identity if the exchange asks. Most do.

  2. Buy SOL or USDC with your card or bank account.

  3. Send it to the address in your ShaftKings Wallet, choosing Solana as the network. See How to deposit.

SOL or USDC?

  • USDC and USDT are stablecoins: each is meant to stay worth one US dollar.
  • SOL is Solana's own coin, and its price moves.
  • Your balance stays in the coin you send. We don't convert between coins.

Good to know

  • Send a small amount first, over the minimum, to see how it works. See Deposit minimums and fees.
  • Nobody from ShaftKings will offer to buy crypto for you or send you an address to pay. See Spot a scam.
