You can start a Pionex Spot Grid with existing XRP when the selected XRP pair and live creation screen support base-asset or both-assets investment. You do not necessarily need to sell all XRP to USDT first, but the bot may convert part of the starting assets to fund both sides of the grid.
Current Spot Grid investment choices
| Choice | Starting input |
|---|---|
| Quote only | Uses USDT or the pair’s quote currency |
| Both assets | Uses XRP and the quote currency already held |
| Existing base asset | Uses XRP, then calculates the allocation needed for grid orders |
Why part of the XRP may be converted
An XRP/USDT grid needs XRP for sell orders above market and USDT for buy orders below market. Starting with XRP does not mean every XRP remains untouched. Read the preview to see the calculated allocation and any initial conversion before confirming.
Check the live pair
Search the current Pionex market and open the exact XRP pair. Pair availability, minimum investment, price precision and regional access can change. If the base-asset option is absent, do not assume an old workflow still applies.

Frequently asked questions
Can you start a Pionex Grid Bot with existing XRP?
Yes, when a supported XRP trading pair and the live creation screen offer base-asset or both-assets investment.
Do you have to sell all XRP to USDT first?
Not necessarily. Pionex’s current Spot Grid guide says supported pairs can use both assets or an existing base asset to create the bot.
Will the bot keep every XRP unchanged at startup?
Do not assume so. The bot needs quote currency for buy grids and XRP for sell grids, so the startup allocation can convert part of the investment.
What does Investment – Both mean?
It lets you contribute the base and quote assets already in your account, subject to the pair’s current support, minimums and calculated allocation.
Can you use XRP to create an XRP/USDT grid if the option is missing?
No. Use only the investment modes shown in the live XRP/USDT creation screen. Pair availability and regional access can change.
What happens if XRP rises above the range?
Sell grids can leave the bot mostly in USDT, so it may hold less XRP than a buy-and-hold position during a continued rise.
What should you review before confirming?
Review pair availability, starting conversion, XRP and USDT allocation, range, grid count, fees, minimum investment, stop loss and closing behavior.
Starting with XRP does not remove market risk or guarantee that the bot will retain the same XRP amount.
