📌 The definitive Operations Checklist on Binance: Save it before you move your money. We’ve reached the end of Week 2, and so you don’t make costly mistakes or lose funds along the way, here’s the quick checklist that every beginner should review before each operation: ✅ When depositing/withdrawing by network: Make sure the source and destination networks are exactly the same (e.g., BEP20 with BEP20) and add the MEMO/Tag if the coin requires it. ✅ When exchanging coins: If it’s a small amount, use Convert. If it’s a medium/large amount, trade in Spot (Limit/Market) to avoid paying more due to the spread. ✅ When trading on P2P: Select merchants with +98% completed orders and with an active verification. ✅ The sacred rule: On P2P, never release the crypto based on a screenshot in the chat. First, confirm your balance in your bank app. 🔥 Monday we start Week 3! We’ll enter the Advanced Security phase and P2P without scams: how to protect your account against hacks, what to do in a P2P dispute, and configuration tricks that very few people use.

Hello Binance community. 👋 Today I’ve officially decided to take my first steps in the crypto ecosystem. I have to admit that at the beginning, all this about charts, networks, and wallets can be a bit intimidating, but I’m really excited to learn. My current goal is to understand how basic trading works and to discover solid long-term projects. I know the golden rule here is *DYOR* (Do your own research), so I’m already studying with the articles from Binance Academy! 📚 *Question for the community : If you could go back to the day you bought your first cryptocurrency, what’s the best advice you would give yourself?. #Binance #Principiante #crypto #EcosistemaBinance

🏎️ Futures or Spot? Don’t get into a race car without knowing how to drive 🛑⚠️Lately, I’ve seen many new colleagues on the platform with a very common question: they open the Futures tab (sometimes looking at their balance in dollars or in bolívares) and they find themselves with gigantic profit or loss percentages without really understanding what’s going on. Today we’re going to explain the difference between Spot and Futures in the simplest way possible so you can protect your capital. 🛡️ 1.

💸 Deposit or Buy? The mistake that makes you pay extra fees on Binance. When you want to add funds to Binance to start trading, the app shows you two main buttons that often confuse new users: “Deposit” and “Buy Crypto.” Even though the end goal is to have money in your account, the route and the costs change completely. Here I’ll explain the key difference so you can always choose the option that suits you best: Active Deposit: This is the second option in the screenshot. Use it only if you already have cryptocurrencies saved in another external wallet or exchange and want to transfer them to Binance using a blockchain network. Deposit: This is used when you already have cryptocurrencies in another external wallet or platform and want to transfer them to Binance. As we saw yesterday, here you generate a network address (such as BEP20 or TRC20) to receive the funds. Binance doesn’t charge you for receiving, but the sending wallet will charge the network fee. P2P Trading (Buy Crypto): As you can see in the first option of the image, this is used when you want to use your local bank account or mobile payment to buy crypto directly from another person within the platform without high fees. Buy Crypto: This is used when you don’t have any cryptocurrency and want to use the money from your bank account or credit/debit card to acquire it directly. Options here include P2P trading (Person-to-Person) or direct card purchase, which involve exchange rates or commissions depending on your local payment method. The golden tip: If it’s your first time adding money from your local bank, explore the P2P section. It’s usually the most economical and efficient alternative for converting your local currency to $USDT without paying high fees from international cards. 🚨 Tomorrow I’ll tell you: Convert vs Spot: Why you SHOULD NOT always use the “Convert” button. If you want to learn how to move your money smartly without giving away fees, hit the follow button! 🚀 #Principiante #ComunidadeBinance

🛑 WARNING! Check this before depositing on Binance or you could lose your crypto forever. Making your first crypto deposit is very exciting, but it’s also the moment when the most fatal mistakes are made in a rush. Sending funds to the wrong address on the blockchain is irreversible. Before copying that deposit address, make sure you check THESE 3 critical points—YES or YES: The CORRECT Network: This is #1 error. If you look at the image below, you’ll see that Binance gives you many options under “Select network” (such as BEP20 or ERC20). If you’re sending funds, the wallet issuing them and the one receiving them on Binance must use exactly the same network. If you send via a different network, your funds will disappear into the void. The EXACT Cryptocurrency: Make sure you’re generating the address for the correct coin. Don’t send Bitcoin ($BTC ) to a Bitcoin Cash (BCH) address, or USDT to an address like $USDC . Each coin has its own space. Additional Addresses (MEMO / Tag): Some cryptocurrencies like XRP (Ripple) or $BNB require, in addition to the long address, a number called a MEMO or Tag. If you don’t include it when making the transfer, Binance won’t know those funds belong to you. The golden advice: Never type the address manually. Always use the copy button or scan the QR code, and re-check the first and last 4 characters before sending. Prevention is better! 🚨 Tomorrow I’ll tell you: Deposit vs. Buy: What’s the cheapest way to add balance to Binance?

Am I the only one who goes into Binance and feels like I’m seeing the Matrix? 😅 Total Matrix. I just checked my rewards area and found a 20 USDT discount coupon for Spot trading fees. At first I didn’t understand anything, but I figured out it’s basically like a cashback that gives me back half of what I spend in trading commissions.

FUTURES FROM $1 FOR BEGINNERS: it’s not about trading more, it’s about managing risk better
Trading futures isn’t about opening and closing positions—it’s not luck, not intuition. It’s discipline, analysis, risk management, and strategy… and maybe you still don’t know that you can start trading with $1 or even less in perpetual futures. But the point isn’t how much money you have to start… the point is how you decide to trade from day one.

Because in trading, the person who trades the most doesn’t win… the one who understands what they’re doing does.

Therefore, from the KiuTrades Community, we have created and shared valuable content so you can clearly and in an organized way understand futures trading, using simple language.
🤯 I saw this today on Binance Square. +354 USD in a month trading futures. Almost every day in the green. 📅 My honest reaction: a mix of inspiration and humility. Because I just made my first real trade. A 30 USDT coupon. My own analysis. TP and SL set up. Did I win? Not exactly. Did I learn? More than I expected. The difference between that trader and me isn't talent. It's time. The repetitions. The processed mistakes. He also had his day 1. 📌 I'm on mine. If you're also starting this journey, follow me — I’m going to document every step, every mistake and every lesson in real-time. 🚀 What day of the journey are you on? 👇 $ETH $BTC $BNB #Trading #futuros #Principiante #BinanceSquare #Cripto

🔐 Don’t wait to be robbed! 3 mandatory steps to secure your Binance account. Let’s start Week 3 with the most important thing: protecting your money. Having a long password is no longer enough in the crypto world. If you haven’t set up your account security properly, you’re leaving the door open for scammers. Go to your profile settings in the app and activate these 3 shields today: Binance Authenticator / Google Authenticator (2FA): Stop relying only on SMS messages (SMS codes can be intercepted via SIM duplication). Use an authentication app that generates temporary codes every 30 seconds. Anti-Phishing Code: This is a gem that almost nobody activates. Set a secret keyword in the app. From then on, all real emails Binance sends you will include that word. If you receive a Binance email without your code, you’ll instantly know it’s a scam meant to steal your data. Key Step (Passkeys / Biometrics): Turn on fingerprint access or facial recognition on your phone. It’s much faster to sign in and it’s practically impossible for third parties to duplicate. 💡 Pro tip: Check the "Linked Devices" section under Security. If you see a phone or computer you don’t recognize, log it out immediately. 🚨 Tomorrow I’ll tell you: P2P scams: the 3 most common traps and how to spot them before you fall for them.
