There are rumors of Bittrex delisting BTS, and with them gone, there is no centralized exchange I would use to buy BitShares.

Here are the current alternatives to buy BitShares in a more decentralized fashion

## [OpenLedger](http://smarturl.it/bitshares)

OpenLedger is a company on top of BitShares. They offer a custom Wallet/Exchange cover combined with a Gateway to get non-native coins in the Decentralized Exchange.

## [Rudex](http://market.rudex.org/?r=fav)

Similiar to OpenLedger, Rudex is a service on top of BitShares DEX. They offer

Limited coins available **but** most of them come with **ZERO** Fees!

## [Blocktrades](https://blocktrades.us/)

Blocktrades is a shapeshift alternative with roots in BitShares. They offer a web frontend and are available from within the BitShares Platform

## [Crypto-Bridge](https://wallet.crypto-bridge.org/?r=419800)

Similiar to OpenLedger and Rudex, a new Gateway/Bridge to BitShares.

They have to work (lower) on market fees to become relevant in my opinion.
