Connect your MetaMask wallet to portfolio.metamask.io
Click the “Buy” tab to get started
Select your region
Select payment method

Choose a reliable cryptocurrency buying platform that supports deposits to ERC-20 network addresses. Some popular platforms include Coinbase, Binance, Kraken, and others. Make sure that when purchasing cryptocurrency using fiat you specify that you want ERC-20 based cryptocurrency. This can be specified in the transaction settings or in the network selection section.
