This FAQ covers the most common questions about using Tether (USDT) on Binance, including how to buy, deposit, withdraw, trade, and convert USDT, as well as details on network fees, staking, and alternatives.

What is USDT on Binance?

USDT on Binance is the ERC-20 (Ethereum) version of Tether, a stablecoin pegged 1:1 to the US dollar, available for trading and holding on the Binance exchange.

Binance supports multiple networks for USDT deposits and withdrawals, including Ethereum (ERC-20), BNB Smart Chain (BEP-20), Tron (TRC-20), and others. The choice of network affects transaction fees and speed. Always choose the correct network to avoid loss of funds.

How to buy USDT on Binance?

To buy USDT on Binance, log in to your account, go to the 'Buy Crypto' page, select USDT, choose your fiat currency and payment method (e.g., bank card, SEPA, or P2P), and complete the transaction.

You can also trade other cryptocurrencies for USDT on the spot market. Simply navigate to the USDT trading pairs (e.g., BTC/USDT, ETH/USDT) and place a buy order. For beginners, the 'Convert' feature allows instant conversion between assets.

How to deposit USDT to Binance?

To deposit USDT to Binance, go to 'Wallet' > 'Fiat and Spot', find USDT, click 'Deposit', select the network (e.g., TRC-20), and copy the generated deposit address or scan the QR code.

Double-check the network compatibility with the sending platform. For example, if you are sending from an external wallet, ensure it supports the same network. The deposit will be credited after the required number of network confirmations.

How to withdraw USDT from Binance?

To withdraw USDT from Binance, go to 'Wallet' > 'Fiat and Spot', find USDT, click 'Withdraw', enter the recipient address, select the network, specify the amount, and confirm the transaction.

Be aware of withdrawal fees, which vary by network. For TRC-20, the fee is typically 1 USDT, while ERC-20 can be higher. Also, ensure the recipient address is correct and on the same network to avoid permanent loss.

What are the USDT trading pairs on Binance?

Binance offers hundreds of USDT trading pairs, including major cryptocurrencies like BTC/USDT, ETH/USDT, BNB/USDT, XRP/USDT, and many altcoins.

These pairs allow you to trade any supported token against USDT, providing a stable base for trading. You can view all available pairs under the 'Markets' tab or search directly on the trading page.

How to convert USDT to fiat currency on Binance?

To convert USDT to fiat currency, use the 'Sell' option on the 'Buy Crypto' page or use the P2P marketplace where you can sell USDT directly to other users for various fiat currencies.

Alternatively, you can withdraw USDT to a bank account via Binance's fiat partners, but this often requires converting to fiat first. P2P trading often offers competitive rates and low fees, making it a popular choice.

What are the fees for USDT transactions on Binance?

Binance charges spot trading fees of 0.1% per trade (or less with BNB) and withdrawal fees that vary by network; for example, TRC-20 withdrawal fee is 1 USDT.

Deposits are generally free. Always check the current fee schedule on Binance's fee page, as fees may be adjusted. Using BNB to pay for trading fees gives a 25% discount.

Is USDT staking available on Binance?

Yes, Binance offers staking for USDT through its 'Simple Earn' products, allowing you to earn interest on your USDT holdings.

You can choose between flexible or locked staking. Flexible allows you to redeem anytime, while locked offers higher interest for a fixed term. Interest rates vary and are subject to change; check the Binance Earn page for current rates.

USDT vs USDC on Binance: Which is better?

Both USDT and USDC are stablecoins pegged to the US dollar, but USDT has higher liquidity and trading volume on Binance, while USDC is considered more transparent and regulated.

On Binance, USDT is more widely accepted across trading pairs and products. However, USDC may have lower withdrawal fees on certain networks. The choice depends on your needs: use USDT for trading and liquidity, or USDC for regulatory assurance.
