What other methods can you use to buy/sell crypto for Binance in India.
As of 2025, here are your main options:

1. Third-Party Payment Apps (through Binance integrations)
Binance sometimes integrates third-party gateways like Simplex, MoonPay, Mercuryo, etc.

You can use UPI, credit/debit cards, or wallets through these platforms.

Note: Fees can be high (1.5% to 5%) and KYC is mandatory.

Also, some card issuers in India block crypto transactions.

2. Gift Cards / Binance Gift Cards
Buy a Binance Gift Card from an external seller (trusted P2P or marketplaces).
Redeem the gift card inside Binance to get crypto credited.
Safer than P2P if you're buying from someone trustworthy.

Binance itself has a gift card marketplace too like:

SEAGM (Southeast Asia Game Market)
Platform: SEAGM - Binance Gift Card
3. Indian Crypto Exchanges (and then transfer to Binance)

Buy on Indian exchanges like:

CoinDCX,WazirX ,ZebPay,Giottus,KoinBX

Then withdraw the crypto (like USDT or $BTC ) to your Binance wallet.
Downsides:
Transfer fees.
Price spreads.

KYC required.

4. Crypto ATMs (very rare)
There were a few experimental Bitcoin ATMs in Bangalore and Delhi.

But due to RBI pressure, most are not operational.

If you find one, you could buy crypto anonymously using cash.

Not reliable.

5. Using Stablecoins (outside Binance)
Some apps allow you to buy USDT using INR via vouchers or prepaid methods.

Then you can transfer USDT to Binance.

Eg: OTC brokers (over Telegram, WhatsApp groups — risky without escrow)

Crypto voucher platforms (international sites)

6. International Cards
If you have an international debit/credit card (with relaxed forex rules), you can use it on Binance directly.

But again, Indian banks sometimes block crypto payments, even internationally.

Also, 5% TCS (Tax Collected at Source) applies on foreign crypto purchases above ₹7 lakh yearly.

Important Tip:
Because of RBI regulations, P2P is still the most flexible method, but if you're avoiding it, the safest backup is to buy from an Indian exchange and transfer.

Melania Trump's Memecoin: A Costly Lesson for Investors

If you invested $1,000 in Melania Trump's memecoin at its peak just two days ago, your investment would now be worth only $216. That’s an 80% loss in less than 48 hours, leaving many investors with empty pockets while the Trump family likely profited.

The Numbers Tell the Story:

$1,000 investment → Now worth $216

$5,000 investment → Now worth $1,080

$10,000 investment → Now worth $2,160

Buying into this coin was more like donating to the Trumps than making a solid investment.

Why Did It Crash?

1. Pump-and-Dump Schemes: The coin’s value skyrocketed on hype, only to collapse when insiders likely sold off their holdings.

2. FOMO (Fear of Missing Out): The celebrity connection created buzz, but the coin had no real value.

3. No Real Foundation: Like many memecoins, it lacked utility, purpose, or a clear plan.

How to Avoid Similar Pitfalls in the Future:

Question Celebrity Endorsements: Just because a famous name is attached doesn’t mean it’s worth your money.

Secure Profits Quickly: In volatile markets, it’s smart to cash out before a potential crash.

Do Your Research: Avoid projects that lack a clear purpose or roadmap.
