"Why can't I find the Binance APP in the app store?" — This may be the first question many new digital currency users encounter in China. Due to policy restrictions, the Binance APP cannot be directly downloaded from mainstream app stores in the country. This article will explain step by step how beginners can safely use the Binance APP for trading.
- Official Channel Registration (Step One, Crucial)
Visit the Binance official website
Registration link:
Minimal registration process:
Email verification
Click the link above to access the registration page. It is recommended to use Gmail, Outlook, or other email services for registration. After entering your email, the system will send a verification email containing a 6-digit code, which you should receive within a minute.
Set password and basic information
Create a strong password, which should be a combination of uppercase letters, lowercase letters, and numbers, for example, Binance2025.
Complete identity verification (KYC)
After successful registration, to unlock all functions such as C2C trading and withdrawals, you must complete identity verification (KYC).
Find and click "Identity Verification" in the APP.
Follow the prompts to upload photos of your ID's front and back, and perform facial recognition verification.
The review process is usually very quick, typically completed within a few minutes.
Note: Accounts that have not completed KYC verification will face restrictions on trading and withdrawals, with daily trading limits usually being quite low.
- APP Download and Installation Guide (Post-registration)
After completing registration and KYC, you can safely download the official APP within your account. The method varies for different operating systems.
▶ Android Devices (Huawei, Xiaomi, OPPO, vivo, etc.)
Obtain the installation package: Register and log into your Binance account, find the "Download APP" entry in the [Personal Center] or page guidance to get the official APK installation package.
Adjust phone settings: Before downloading, you need to enable the "Allow installation of apps from unknown sources" permission in your phone settings. The path is usually: Settings → Security/Privacy → Install unknown source apps → Authorize the browser you are using. Complete installation: Find the downloaded APK file and click install. If the system prompts a risk, select "Continue installation." During installation, ensure the publisher is verified as "Binance Holdings Limited" or "Binance Mobile Pte. Ltd." for safety.
▶ Apple Devices (iPhone, iPad)
Obtain download method within the account: After registering and logging in, scan the provided exclusive QR code on the download page within your account.
Trust the enterprise certificate: The first time you open the APP, you may need to trust the corresponding enterprise certificate (e.g., "Binance SG Enterprise") in Settings → General → VPN & Device Management (or "Profiles & Device Management").
- Core Guide for Beginners Using the Binance APP
After successfully installing and logging into the APP, you can start exploring the world of Binance. Here are a few core operations that beginners must master.
- Familiarize yourself with the main interface and functions
The homepage of the Binance APP integrates market trends, official announcements, popular activities, and various core function entries. It is recommended that beginners prioritize understanding the "Beginner Tasks" module, which helps quickly familiarize themselves with the platform.
- How to buy your first cryptocurrency
For domestic users, the most convenient way to deposit is through C2C trading, directly using WeChat, Alipay, or bank cards to purchase cryptocurrency.
Entry: Open the APP, click "Buy Crypto" on the homepage, then select "C2C Trading."
Purchase USDT:
In the C2C market, select to buy USDT (Tether, a stablecoin pegged to the US dollar).
Filter merchants that support WeChat or Alipay payments, prioritizing sellers with high transaction volumes and positive ratings.
Enter the amount in RMB you wish to purchase, and after placing the order, transfer to the account provided by the seller.
Key step: After completing the transfer, be sure to click "Paid" in the APP. Once the seller confirms, the USDT will automatically be credited to your Binance account.
- Conduct spot trading
After obtaining USDT, you can purchase other cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) in the "Spot Market."
Click "Trade" at the bottom of the APP, and select "Spot Trading."
In the trading pair search box, enter the cryptocurrency you wish to buy, such as "BTC/USDT."
In the trading interface, you can use the USDT you just purchased to buy Bitcoin at the current market price (market order) or at a price you specify (limit order).
- Account Security Enhancement Settings (Mandatory)
Before starting trading, be sure to take a few minutes to set up security measures, which are key to protecting your assets.
Enable two-factor authentication (2FA): In the Binance APP's [Security Center], bind a dynamic password tool like "Google Authenticator." Even if your password is leaked, you cannot log in without the dynamic password, which can block most account theft risks.
Set up a phishing code: This is a unique verification code that will appear in all official Binance emails, helping you effectively identify phishing emails.
Understand withdrawals and deposits: When depositing from an external wallet or withdrawing to an external wallet, be sure to repeatedly verify the deposit/withdrawal address and network (e.g., ERC20, TRC20). Choosing incorrectly may lead to permanent loss of assets.
- Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: What should I do if I don't receive the verification code during registration?
A: Please check your spam folder or try registering with an overseas email like Gmail. Ensure your internet connection is stable.
Q: Is C2C trading safe? What if the seller doesn't release the coins?
A: The Binance C2C platform provides escrow services. Once you place an order, the seller's cryptocurrency is locked by the platform. After you make the payment and mark it, if the seller does not release the coins, you can immediately initiate a dispute, and the platform's customer service will intervene to ensure your funds' safety.
