APENFT exchanges: where the NFT token actually trades

Where APENFT trades: the quick answer

If you’re searching for an APENFT exchange, the short answer is that the NFT token (APENFT, rebranded to AINFT in October 2025) is listed on most large exchanges outside Binance. At the time of writing, CoinGecko’s market data shows active NFT markets on HTX, OKX, Poloniex, DigiFinex, Bybit, Gate, KuCoin, Bitget and MEXC, all against USDT. Kraken lists APENFT against the US dollar and the euro. In South Korea, Bithumb and Coinone list it against the won. Brazil’s Mercado Bitcoin has an NFT/BRL pair. And on TRON itself, SunSwap and JustMoney run liquidity pools.

Listings change, though. Exchanges add and remove tokens, and volumes swing wildly from day to day. Treat everything on this page as a starting map, and confirm the current picture on the Markets tab of CoinGecko’s AINFT page before you deposit anything. For the mechanics of a purchase, see our step-by-step guide to buying APENFT.

A naming note: exchanges show the asset as APENFT, AINFT or simply NFT. KuCoin’s rebrand notice confirmed the ticker stays NFT, and the TRON contract, TFczxzPhnThNSqr5by8tvxsdCFRRz6cPNq, is unchanged. If an exchange shows a different contract for the TRON network, stop and ask support. More on this in our AINFT rebrand explainer.

APENFT exchange comparison

Here’s what the main venues offer. We list pairs and history only; we don’t publish volume rankings because they change by the hour.

Smaller venues such as DigiFinex, Ourbit, Mudrex and Mercado Bitcoin also show NFT markets. A pair on PancakeSwap trades a BEP-20 version of the token on BNB Chain; which BEP-20 contract is canonical is not officially confirmed, so we don’t recommend it to newcomers.

A closer look at the main venues

Poloniex chose NFT as the first project of its relaunched LaunchBase in May 2021, and a Poloniex cold wallet is one of the largest NFT holders on TRON. Bybit, Gate, Bitget and MEXC run ordinary NFT/USDT spot markets. These platforms all have different licensing footprints, so check which ones are allowed where you live.

Korea: Bithumb, Coinone and the Upbit question

Korean investors are among the most active NFT traders, and “is APENFT listed on Upbit” is a common search. The honest answer: we found no Upbit listing, no Upbit market on CoinGecko, and no Upbit notice. Korbit doesn’t show a market either.

What does exist:

• Bithumb lists NFT/KRW. It renamed the asset from APENFT to AINFT after the rebrand, and balances carried over automatically with no swap. A Bithumb hot wallet is one of the three largest NFT holders on TRON, which hints at how much trading happens there.
• Coinone lists NFT/KRW too, with lower volume. Coinone was reported to describe the change as a rebrand rather than a migration, though we couldn’t confirm that on its own site.

If you’re in Korea, the usual flow is to buy on Bithumb or Coinone in won, then withdraw to a personal TRON wallet if you want self-custody, complying with travel-rule declarations for larger transfers.

Binance: airdrop yes, spot listing no

This deserves its own section because it trips up so many people. Binance supported the APENFT airdrop programme from June 2021 to June 2023, crediting monthly NFT distributions to users who held TRX, BTT, JST and later WIN. That’s why thousands of people opened their Binance spot wallet and found an NFT balance they never bought.

But Binance has never listed NFT for spot trading. Its airdrop announcements stated that supporting the distribution did not guarantee a listing, and its price page states the token is not tradable on Binance spot. Since July 2025 NFT has been available on Binance Alpha, a separate early-stage token product with its own access rules.

So questions like “when will APENFT be listed on Binance” have no factual answer. There’s no announcement, and any date you see on social media is a guess or bait. If you hold airdropped NFT on Binance, our guide to the Binance APENFT airdrop and the APENFT selling guide explain your options.

Listing history at a glance

The Bitfinex exit is a useful reminder that listings aren’t permanent. Before holding tokens on any exchange for long periods, think about what happens if that venue delists the asset: usually a withdrawal window, then forced conversion or a frozen balance. Self-custody avoids that problem entirely; see the best TRON wallets for NFT.

DEX options on TRON

Decentralized exchanges don’t need an account or KYC. You connect a wallet, swap and leave.

• SunSwap V2 is the main TRON DEX for NFT, with NFT/USDT and NFT/WTRX pools. The SunSwap guide covers slippage, approvals and Energy costs.
• JustMoney has an NFT/WTRX pool. Its site was unreachable from our test location at the time of research, so check that it’s working before relying on it.
• PancakeSwap has a pool for a BEP-20 NFT token on BNB Chain. Two BEP-20 contracts named APENFT exist and neither is officially confirmed as canonical. Our multichain explainer covers the risks.

On a DEX you pay network fees in TRX. An NFT swap is a smart-contract call and consumes Energy, so model the cost with the TRON fee calculator first if you trade often.

Centralized exchange or DEX?

Both kinds of venue can get you in and out of NFT. They fail in different ways, so the right choice depends on what risk you’d rather carry.

How to read an NFT market before trading

A pair existing on an exchange tells you very little. What matters is whether you can trade a meaningful amount close to the quoted price. Three numbers tell you most of what you need.

Spread. The gap between the best bid and the best ask. On a healthy NFT/USDT market it’s a small fraction of a percent. If it’s several percent, every round trip costs you that much before fees.

Depth. How much size sits within, say, 2% of the mid price. CoinGecko shows a “+2% / -2% depth” column for each market. If your order is larger than that depth, expect slippage.

Volume quality. Very high volume on a small exchange with a wide spread is a classic sign of wash trading. Volume that’s concentrated on large, well-known venues with tight spreads is more trustworthy. Because the NFT token has so many zeros after the decimal point, also double-check that the price shown matches other venues; a misplaced digit on your limit order can be expensive.

How to judge any APENFT exchange

Use this checklist before you deposit a cent.

Choosing the right venue for you

If you’re outside Korea and want the most liquidity, a large USDT market is the default choice. If you want to pay in dollars or euros directly, Kraken’s fiat pairs are the simplest path where Kraken is available. Korean residents have Bithumb and Coinone. And if you already live on TRON, SunSwap keeps everything in your own wallet. Whichever you pick, check the live price on our APENFT price page, withdraw to self-custody if you’re holding for long, and never treat an exchange as a savings account.
