Are you using Binance Earn Flexible but interested in earning higher returns with Earn Blocked? Good idea! But if you've tried to do it directly and it hasn't worked, don't worry: here I explain why that happens and how you can do it correctly step by step.
🧩 Flexible vs. Blocked: what is the difference?
Earn Flexible allows you to earn daily interest with the freedom to withdraw your funds at any time. It is ideal if you are looking for liquidity and quick access to your cryptos.
Earn Locked, on the other hand, offers higher interest rates in exchange for keeping your funds locked for a fixed period (7, 30, 60, 90 days, etc.). It is perfect if you do not need immediate access and want to maximize your profits.
🚫 Why can't you go directly from Flexible to Locked?
Binance does not allow automatic conversion between these products. Each has different conditions and requires an independent subscription. Additionally, Locked products have limited slots, so if there is no availability, you will not be able to subscribe at that time.
✅ How to switch from Earn Flexible to Locked (step by step)
1. Redeem your funds from the Flexible product:
- Go to the _Earn_ section in Binance.
- Look for the Flexible product where you have your cryptos.
- Click on _Redeem_ and choose _Quick Redemption_ or _Standard Redemption_ (the latter may take up to 24 hours).
2. Wait for the funds to be available in your Spot wallet.
3. Subscribe to the Locked product:
- Go to _Earn > Locked Savings_ or _Locked Staking_.
- Look for the cryptocurrency you want to lock.
- Check if there are available slots.
- Select the desired term (for example, 30 days) and confirm the subscription.
📌 Important requirements you must meet
- Availability: Locked products have a limited number of slots. If there are none, you will have to wait.
- Minimum amount: Each product has a required minimum (for example, 100 USDT or 0.1 BNB).
- Fixed term You will not be able to withdraw your funds until the selected period ends.
- Prior Redemption: You must have completely withdrawn your funds from the Flexible product before subscribing to the Locked one.
🧠 Final tip
Activate Binance notifications or frequently check the Locked products to take advantage of available slots. You can also diversify your investments between Flexible and Locked according to your liquidity needs and profitability goals.
