As the global economic environment changes, cryptocurrency is continuously expanding its influence worldwide.
Its role is no longer just trading and investment, but it has also become one of the important choices for fast and low-cost capital outflows.
If you are interested in cryptocurrency, you will almost certainly come across Binance —
the largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume in the world.
The advantages of Binance are very obvious:
The variety of listed coins is very rich
Strong liquidity and good depth
Supports various play styles such as spot, futures, wealth management, C2C, etc.
In the crypto circle, it is almost a 'household name, everyone has one'
Recently, while helping family members register for Binance, I found that many beginners overlook some key details during registration, buying coins, and trading, which increases risks or leads to detours.
So I organized this complete practical tutorial from 0 to 1, guiding you step by step:
How to correctly download the Binance App
How to register and complete real-name authentication
How to safely buy USDT
How to trade
and key risk control points that beginners must know
I hope to truly help friends who are just entering the market to get onboard smoothly.
I. How to download the Binance App (very important)
Android users
Android users have the simplest operations,
👉 Simply search for 'Binance' on Google Play to download.
Apple users (important)
Apple users need to pay attention:
You must use an overseas Apple ID to download the Binance App.
It is recommended to use a Hong Kong Apple ID
It is not recommended to use a US Apple ID
The US version in the bottom right corner will have a 'US' label, which is the American version, not the internationally applicable version
If you do not have an overseas Apple ID, you can check my video instructions for registration or purchase tutorials.
Whether it's a Hong Kong or US ID, they are part of the tools for going abroad, not just for Binance.
II. Correct settings when first opening the Binance App
When first opening the Binance App, you will be asked to choose a user type:
👉 Please choose 'Experienced User'
This allows you to directly use the Binance Pro interface, which has more comprehensive functions, and you won't need to switch later.
III. Explanation of Binance registration methods and invitation codes (important)
1️⃣ Registration entry
It is recommended to enter the registration page through the official referral link to avoid abnormal redirects or binding errors:
👉 Binance referral link
https://www.binance.com/zh-CN/join?ref=ADNKDVXD
2️⃣ Registration methods
Binance supports:
Email registration
Phone number registration
It is recommended to prioritize using an overseas email for registration,
The reason is that it is more friendly to privacy protection, and there is greater operational space later.
Of course, mainland phone numbers and emails can also be registered, just choose according to personal circumstances.
3️⃣ Invitation code (fee reduction)
Fill in the invitation code during registration:
Invitation code: ADNKDVXD
You can directly receive a 20% trading fee reduction, and it is valid for life.
If not filled in during registration, you will not be able to automatically enjoy this discount later.
IV. Detailed explanation of real-name authentication (KYC) process
After completing registration, you need to go through real-name authentication to normally use Binance.
Chinese users can directly choose China and use ID card authentication, the process is compliant and the pass rate is high.
Certification is divided into three steps:
Fill in personal information
Upload ID card or passport
Conduct facial recognition
The official recommends using government-issued ID cards for authentication.
After completing authentication, you can normally use all functions of Binance.
V. New user gifts and trading threshold explanations
Binance will prepare some new user rewards for new users, but usually requires meeting certain conditions.
For example:
Cumulatively complete a certain scale of spot trading
to unlock the corresponding cashback rewards
Overall, the threshold is not low, beginners do not need to deliberately pursue it, just treat it as an additional benefit.
VI. Explanation of Binance network access situation
Due to the massive scale of Binance, the access situation varies in different regions:
Binance App: Generally usable in most regions of the world
Binance PC version:
China
United States
Japan
Singapore
The above regions may not be directly accessible
If using a PC, it is recommended to switch network nodes,
preferably choose Hong Kong or Taiwan nodes, which are more stable.
VII. Why buy USDT first?
On Binance, you cannot directly use RMB to purchase Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.
The logic can be understood as:
First exchange fiat currency for 'chips',
then trade with chips.
The 'chips' in Binance mainly are:
USDT
USDC
They are all stablecoins, pegged to the US dollar at a 1:1 ratio, with very little price fluctuation.
Among them:
USDT has the longest history and the largest trading volume
with the most diverse usage scenarios, beginners should prioritize choosing USDT
VIII. Detailed explanation of C2C buying sections
Click on the homepage → C2C buy coins, you will see four zones:
1️⃣ Quick selection area
System automatically matches merchants
Fast speed, but merchant quality is uncontrollable
2️⃣ Custom selection area (most commonly used)
You can filter advertisers by yourself
You can view transaction data, success rates, and release times
3️⃣ Selective area
Merchants have been rigorously reviewed
Must pay a high security deposit
Provide a higher level of security and compensation protection
👉 If trading causes the account to be judicially frozen, you can receive up to 100% compensation
4️⃣ Bulk area
Aimed at large transactions
More suitable for high net worth or institutional users
IX. What is a 'Shield Merchant'?
Some advertisers will have the 'Shield' label.
The Shield is a certification mechanism that enhances trading security,
Trading with Shield Merchants can provide additional compensation protection.
Usage suggestions
Buy USDT: optional
Sell USDT: strongly recommend using Shield Merchants
Because selling coins is more likely to trigger risk control, the Shield can effectively reduce loss risks.
X. Advertiser screening criteria (core experience)
My personal screening criteria are as follows:
Account creation time ≥ 1 year
The number of completed orders should be as many as possible
30-day order completion rate ≥ 95%
30-day average release time < 3 minutes
Meeting the above conditions can basically avoid most risks.
XI. Payment method selection suggestions
Recommended: Alipay
The reason is simple:
One person can register 3 Alipay accounts
You can prepare one specifically for cryptocurrency trading
effectively isolating 'dynamic card risk'
It is recommended that this Alipay account also has normal consumption flow usually,
do not only use it for C2C trading.
Not highly recommended
WeChat (only one real-name account, greatly affected by risk control)
Bank card (inconvenient operation, concentrated risk)
XII. Complete buying process explanation
The overall process is similar to Taobao transactions:
Select amount and payment method
After placing an order, USDT is held by the platform
Pay the merchant
Merchant confirms receipt
Platform releases USDT to your account
This completes a buy operation.
XIII. How to trade after buying USDT?
Taking buying Bitcoin as an example:
Enter the spot trading page
Transfer funds from 'fund account' to 'spot account'
Search BTC/USDT
Just place an order to buy
Binance also offers various gameplay such as contracts, wealth management, and activity rewards, which can be gradually understood according to personal risk tolerance.
XIV. Selling USDT withdrawals and risk reminders
The process of selling USDT is the opposite of buying USDT:
Select advertisers
Enter the sell quantity
Wait for the other party to transfer money
Confirm receipt and release
⚠️ Important reminder
Currently, domestic risk control is relatively strict,
it is not recommended for beginners to frequently sell USDT directly in Binance C2C, as there is a certain probability of encountering problematic funds.
But don't worry,
There are safer and lower-loss withdrawal methods available,
I will later release a detailed explanation separately.
