Why isn't it easier to buy PLS in Australia? Simple. Our options for moving economic energy onto #PulseChain are incredibly limited. Centralized exchanges like Coinbase, OKX, Kraken and Gemini refuse to list Pulse, PulseX and HEX for purchase. At the same time, the vagueness of Australian cryptocurrency regulations make it difficult for blockchain services to operate and build onramps for Australian customers.
But there is a solution. Created by the HEX community, Coast offers the most cost-effective way to buy PLS in Australia through the minting of $CST, the first fiat-backed stable coin on PulseChain. You can read the CST contract here.
Here are step by step instructions for buying Pulse in Australia:
1. Create a Coast Account
Everything Australians need for on-ramping to PulseChain can be found at this URL: app.0xCoast.com
Coast is a technology layer to connects your new digital bank account in the USA (created when you signup) with PulseChain. Once you've funded this account you'll be free to mint $CST on PulseChain immediately from any State in Australia.

Coast does not operate in Australia
Our business at Coast requires a careful balance between feature availability and adherence to regulatory frameworks in the local markets where our customers reside. Part of our commitment to our banking partner and Australian regulators is that we will not directly target Australian users (online ads) or operate a business in Australia (business registration). Doing either of these things would require Coast to comply with Australian money transmission, securities and cryptocurrency regulations.
Yes, we can still accept Australian citizens as customers!
However, this does mean that Coast is unable to provide local bank-to-bank transfer methods in Australia including but not limited to PayID services.
3. Mint $CST
$CST is a PRC-20 token on PulseChain that is always redeemable for 1 $USD via the Coast platform. When you mint $CST, you are able to trade this token for any other asset on PulseChain. Now that your digital account is funded, follow the instructions in the help article below to Mint your CST directly on PulseChain.
We accept Australian customers from every state in the country. There is no local restriction on minting CST anywhere in Australia.
TIME: ~8 mins for most Australian PulseChain users
4. Trade $CST for $PLS
Got your $CST? Excellent. Now you can trade your $CST for $PLS, $PLSX, $HEX or any other asset on PulseChain. Follow the instructions in the help article below to use the Swap feature.
TIME: Instant for most Australian PulseChain users
