# How do I buy Siafunds?

Siafunds aren't available on normal exchanges. The SEC has designated Siafunds as securities according to United States laws. **We recommend that you research the applicable securities laws in your country before buying or selling Siafunds.**

If you are based in the United States, you may be required to be an accredited investor to buy or sell Siafunds. We recommend consulting with an attorney.

We treat them like securities, and most exchanges aren't willing to follow the regulatory requirements necessary to trade in securities.

There are however [Siafunds markets on Bisq](https://bisq.network/markets/?currency=sf_btc), a decentralized exchange. You can also check the [Sia Discord server](https://sia.tech/discord) for the #siafunds channel, where over-the-counter trades are available through a trusted escrow.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.sia.tech/legacy/siafunds/how-do-i-buy-siafunds.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
