Binance Complete Guide
From signup and KYC to buying crypto, spot trading, futures, fees and withdrawals — master every essential Binance feature in one place.
Binance is one of the largest crypto exchanges by trading volume, supports hundreds of coins for spot trading and runs the SAFU fund to protect user assets. This page gathers every Binance tutorial from download and signup to KYC, buying, trading and withdrawals, in the order you actually use them.
If this is your first time on Binance, do not rush into futures or earn products. Spot fees are around 0.10% (lower when you pay with BNB), and signing up with referral code BN522 can earn up to 20% fee rebate on spot and futures (per official rules). You only need to follow the path below.
Download the official app → Create an account → Complete KYC → Buy or deposit crypto → Trade spot → Withdraw to a wallet.

Download & install
Download the Binance app from the official website or your device's app store (App Store / Google Play) where available. Verify the download source before installing — name, icon and version number alone do not prove the app is genuine. If your device flags a harmful app or security threat, stop and investigate instead of dismissing the warning.

Signup & KYC
Sign up with an email or phone number, set a strong password, then complete email or SMS verification. KYC is mandatory after signup — you cannot buy, trade or withdraw without it. The most common KYC failures are reflective, blurry or expired ID photos, or a name that does not match the document; follow the liveness prompts for face verification. Review usually takes minutes to hours.

Buy crypto & deposit
Pick the right deposit route first — P2P, card purchase, bank transfer or on-chain deposit. Most beginners use P2P to buy USDT from a verified merchant with local currency. The risk sits in the P2P trade itself, not the Binance platform: transact only through platform escrow, never pay off-platform, and tap “I have paid” only after you actually paid. Use a bank account under your own name to avoid triggering risk controls.

A complete 2026 Binance P2P buying tutorial covering the Express zone and the P2P marketplace, filtering sellers, placing and paying for orders, confirming payment, checking your USDT balance, and handling "not eligible" errors and order timeouts.
Spot trading
For your first trades, learn just two order types: market orders execute immediately at the current price, and limit orders set a target price. Skip futures and leverage for now. USDT you buy now usually lands directly in your spot account (since late September 2026, ordinary P2P users default to spot). Check “Trade history” to verify price and quantity.
Earn
Binance Earn puts idle coins to work: Flexible lets you redeem anytime, Locked pays more but early redemption forfeits accrued rewards. Do not just chase the biggest APR — tiered bonuses usually cover only a small slice of your balance. Earn protects the number of coins, not their price; if the market drops you still lose.
Futures trading
Skip futures as a beginner — leverage amplifies losses. If you want to understand them, master position size, margin and liquidation price first, then test with a tiny amount. The two articles below explain U-margined vs coin-margined, fees and liquidation risk.
- Binance futures tutorial 2026: how to trade futures? Account opening, leverage, fees, and liquidation risks How to trade Binance futures? This article uses USDT-M perpetual futures as an example and walks through step by step: first judge whether futures suit you (futures are high-leverage, high-risk products and can liquidate your entire margin), then open a futures account, choose isolated or cross margin, set leverage and position size, and finally run a complete 100 USDT BTCUSDT order from open to close. It focuses on "position size matters more than the leverage number", "a stop-loss is not the same as liquidation", and "fees are charged on notional value and funding fees settle on a schedule", plus the 7 mistakes beginners most often make.
- Binance USDT-M vs COIN-M futures: which to choose? Long/short, fees, and liquidation risk Binance futures come in two types: USDT-M (USDT-margined) and COIN-M (margined with BTC/ETH and other crypto). They differ in margin currency, settlement currency, fees, and how long and short positions gain or lose. This article uses one comparison table and three worked examples to explain the core difference, then gives a clear recommendation: beginners and short-term traders should prefer USDT-M, while miners and long-term holders who want to accumulate more coins should consider COIN-M — plus a separate section on why shorting COIN-M is the most dangerous move.
Fees & costs
Binance's default fees are not low, but there are two ways to reduce them: pay fees with BNB for a discount, and stack the BN522 referral rebate. Fee details are visible after an order fills. Rebates are not automatic — check the rebate page instead of judging from filled orders alone.
Referral code & rebate
Enter referral code BN522 at signup for a 20% fee rebate. If you forgot, you can rebind — but only under certain conditions, not anytime. Existing users must meet assessment requirements to switch. Check the referral relationship page to confirm binding. A wrong or unbound code means no rebate.
- Binance Referral Code 2026: Which Code Really Gets 20% Rebate? BN522 Verified Binance referral code BN522, tested: a 20% invitee rebate is the system cap — "40%, 50%" online is the referrer commission dressed up as your savings. 20% each on spot and futures, with sign-up page verification, real rebate records and old-user rebinding conditions.
- Where do I enter Binance referral code BN522? Fill it in correctly at signup for 20% back You enter the Binance referral code BN522 during registration — after the account is created but before identity verification (KYC). If you sign up through a referral link, the code is usually filled in automatically and shown as "bound"; if you register manually, enter BN522 in that field. This article explains the two paths — auto-fill via link vs. manual entry — and clarifies that once bound it cannot be changed, skipping it usually cannot be back-filled later (eligible old accounts can go through the recall program), and the actual fee rebate rate should always be checked against what the Binance signup page shows.
- Entered the wrong Binance referral code? Can it be changed, plus the recovery process, code BN522 Whether a wrongly entered Binance referral code can be switched depends on whether a referral relationship was actually bound: if the wrong code never bound, you can still go through the official back-fill path when eligible; if someone else's valid code did bind, the referral relationship cannot be changed or unbound once established. This article first shows you how to check your binding status, then lays out the recovery paths for the two cases — 30-day back-fill and the 90-day old-user recall — and warns that "internal re-binding" is a scam.
- Binance referral code back-fill tutorial BN522: can you still add it after registering? 30-day back-fill + 90-day recall + the $150k rule (2026) How do you back-fill a Binance referral code? Can you still add it after registering? As of October 2026 there are three paths: a new account within 30 days of registration with no deposits or trades can back-fill; accounts with under $5,000 in trading volume over the last 90 days can submit a rebind application (and complete $150,000 in valid trading volume within 30 days of applying); accounts registered over 90 days ago that have been completely unused for the last 90 days can use the old-user recall. Accounts already bound to another referral code usually can't be switched. This article uses one decision table to help you find your situation.
- Binance Old-User Referral Rebinding: What Conditions Apply? Is the 150k Volume Requirement Worth It (2026) To rebind a Binance referral code as an existing user, you must pass an eligibility gate and then complete 150,000 USD of eligible spot volume within 30 days. This guide covers the 2026 application entry, KYC and main-account requirements, the 90-day 5,000 USD volume limit, how the 150k volume test is calculated, which trades do not count, and whether chasing the volume is worth it.
Withdrawals & wallets
Use “Withdraw” to move USDT, BTC and other coins to a personal wallet or another exchange. The most common mistake is not copying the address — it is mismatching the network: if the recipient gives a TRC-20 address, select TRC-20 on Binance too. Some coins also need a Memo/Tag. For transfers between Binance users, Binance Pay is usually free and instant. Always send a small test amount first and verify coin, network and address.
- What Is Binance Pay? Sending, Receiving, Fees and Limits Explained (2026) What is Binance Pay? A 2026 walkthrough of Binance Pay sending and receiving, USDT fees, daily limits, QR-code receiving, the difference between Pay ID and UID, and how to handle failed or missing transfers.
- How to Withdraw USDT to Your Bank Account: Steps, Fees, Timing and Account-Freeze Risks (2026) How do you convert USDT into fiat? This guide walks through 4 off-ramp paths (exchange P2P, private OTC, licensed-platform fiat withdrawal, crypto debit card), explaining the funding structure, account requirements and risks of each. It focuses on the 4 reasons a bank account may be restricted and what to do after, plus a 7-step P2P selling checklist to help you judge the funding path and risks before acting — instead of treating P2P like an ordinary bank transfer. Save this for reference.
- Sent crypto to the wrong network? Withdrawal network and wallet address (2026) Sent crypto to the wrong network? This beginner-friendly guide explains what the blockchain network you select when withdrawing actually means, how wallet addresses relate across different chains, the key differences between ERC20, TRC20, and BEP20, and the underlying reason the same 0x address can appear on Ethereum, BSC, Polygon, and other chains. It also covers what to do after a wrong-network transfer, which scenarios might be recoverable through exchange support, and a three-step pre-withdrawal checklist to avoid the most common on-chain transfer mistakes. Bookmark this for later.
- Where should you keep USDT bought on Binance/OKX? Exchange or wallet (2026) Should you keep USDT on an exchange or in a wallet? This article compares exchange accounts, Binance Wallet, OKX Wallet, and MetaMask, and covers withdrawal networks, small-amount testing, and tiered fund management. It also explains common misconceptions, TRC20/ERC20/BEP20 network selection, and risk scenarios like depegging and scams, helping you use stablecoins safely and correctly for transfers and trading.
Troubleshooting
Common Binance issues: P2P “not eligible”, verification code not received, withdrawal not arrived, rebate not received, app will not install. Most have a clear cause and fix — follow the troubleshooting articles step by step before contacting support.
- Binance P2P says "not eligible" when buying crypto? 6 causes + fixes (2026) When Binance P2P won't let you buy or says "not eligible", first switch to another ad and try again: if an order goes through, the problem is usually the ad's amount limit, counterparty conditions or the ad's remaining balance; if a few ads still don't work, check identity verification, today's cancellation count and the P2P "Cancellation Limits Center". This article walks through Binance's official P2P rules one by one, and separates the "payment channel risk control" and "T+1 withdrawal limit" cases that are easy to mix up.
- Filled in Binance referral code BN522 but no rebate? Why it hasn't arrived + where to see the rebate records Filled in a Binance referral code and traded, but still can't see the fee rebate? This article uses two real spot trades to test it: the rebate doesn't show up in the spot order — it appears on the "My Rebates" page, the reward is ultimately converted to USDC, and the timestamps differ by 8 hours. It includes a 5-step check order to confirm whether the referral code actually took effect and where the rebate actually went, so you don't misjudge "no rebate" just by looking at the filled order.
- How to check if Binance referral code BN522 is bound? Where to see the referral relationship How do you check whether you have a referrer on Binance? Your referral code only means you can invite others — it doesn't mean you bound a referrer when you registered. This article uses a real Binance old account to confirm that the place to actually look is "Refer & Earn → Co-Inviter → Referrals → Referral relationship", and includes the support query result and the difference between the 20% rebate and the referrer, step by step, so you can confirm your own referral relationship and avoid asking strangers to check it for you.
Frequently asked questions
Is Binance safe?
Binance is one of the largest exchanges by volume and users, and runs the SAFU fund for extreme cases. For ordinary users, the bigger risk is clicking phishing links or leaking verification codes. Use only the official app and website, and ignore “unblocking” or “rebinding” offers in private messages.
Is KYC required?
Yes — trading, depositing and withdrawing all require KYC identity verification. Availability of some products varies by region; check the official page after you log in.
How do I lower Binance fees?
Spot fees default to around 0.10%; paying with BNB gives a further discount. Signing up with referral code BN522 can earn up to 20% rebate on spot and futures (per official rules). Maker orders usually cost less than taker. Exact rates vary by VIP level.
I forgot the referral code — can I rebind?
Yes, with conditions. New accounts with no trades within 30 days can rebind; older accounts use the recall link (inactive for 90+ days). Rebinding and switching must meet platform assessment requirements.
How do I deposit on Binance?
The most common route is P2P to buy USDT with local currency, or an on-chain deposit from another wallet. Card and bank transfers are also available in some regions. Try a small P2P amount first to learn the flow.
What should I watch when withdrawing?
The key is matching the network: if the recipient gives a TRC-20 address, select TRC-20 on Binance. Some coins need a Memo/Tag. Send a small test amount first and verify coin, network and address. Arrival time depends on the network.
Where do I download the Binance app?
Download from the official Binance website. Android users get the APK from the official download page; iPhone users use an overseas Apple ID in the App Store. Use only the official domain and ignore third-party lookalike links.
How much does signing up cost?
Signing up and KYC are completely free. You only need a long-term email or phone number, a valid government ID (for KYC), and a strong password. The only real cost comes after signing up: buying USDT via P2P, where the amount depends on how much you want to invest.
