If you’re new to Binance, the global leader in cryptocurrency exchanges, and feeling overwhelmed by currency conversions, this simple guide is here to help. In just a few steps, you’ll master the art of currency conversion.

First, understand that a "currency pair" represents the value of one currency against another – for example, Bitcoin (BTC) versus the US Dollar (USD), creating a BTC/USD pair.

Follow these easy steps as an example: John wanted to trade Ethereum (ETH) for Bitcoin (BTC).

He did the following:

  1. Logged into Binance and visited "Wallets" > "Deposits & Withdrawals."
  2. Copied the ETH address provided and transferred ETH from another source to this address.
  3. To convert ETH into BTC, he returned to "Deposits & Withdrawals," selected "Spot Markets," and chose "Buy Crypto" to initiate a Bitcoin purchase using his preferred payment method.

Confused?

Here’s the breakdown:

  1. Log in and navigate to Wallets > Deposits & Withdrawals.
  2. Choose your currency (send it to Binance).
  3. Initiate a transfer to acquire that currency on Binance.
  4. Go back to Deposits & Withdrawals > Spot Markets > Buy Crypto to exchange your currency for another.

FAQs:

  1. How long does a currency exchange take? Transactions typically complete within minutes, but can vary based on network congestion and payment methods.

  2. Is there a fee for changing currencies? Yes, Binance charges a small trading fee that depends on your trading volume.
