U.S. Citizen: Which Exchange to buy XRP

[mgbloomfield]

I am a U.S. Citizen that resides in Washington State. I want to buy XRP. I can't find an exchange that will let me.

Bitfinex is closed to U.S. Citizens.

Quoinex is closed to U.S. Citizens.

GDAX doesn't offer you the ability to purchase XRP.

Poloniex is not accepting applications from residents that live in Washington State.

Bitstamp is not accepting applications from residents that live in Washington State.

Gatehub's verification PIN via phone SMS is not working.

Tier 2 verification for Kraken is not working. Uploading Proof of Residence for Tier 2 verification is always failing even though the picture is within parameter requirements.

Seriously, as a resident in Washington State, where can I open an Exchange account so that I can buy XRP?!?!

I have a friend in WA state that opened a Coinbase account, bought ETH and sent it to an account on Binance to buy XRP.

I think Coinbase to Bittrex is an option, not 100% though.

Perhaps directly on Coinbase is soon

I am having the same problem although I do not live in Washington State. All my XRP was bought for me  by a friend and sent to my wallet. But like was mentioned earlier most of the  exchanges are not accepting applications at this time due to high volume any suggestions would be appreciated

 

Thanks Al

Bittrex is not accepting new apps either

Buy LTC on Coinbase, download the Shapeshift app from Google Play or Apple app store, then shapeshift the LTC into XRP and send the latter to your XRP wallet.

@Alfonz has a good idea.  Bitstamp via a friend in a jurisdiction that it allows could be a good option.   That's too bad you're having such a tough time.
