How to buy Solana (SOL) on the Binance app in 2026?

Accessing the Binance App Interface

1. Launch the Binance mobile application and authenticate using biometric verification or your registered credentials.

2. Navigate to the “Trade” tab located at the bottom navigation bar.

3. Select “Spot” to enter the spot trading environment where SOL is listed against major quote assets.

4. Use the search bar at the top to type “SOL” and tap on the SOL/USDT trading pair.

5. Confirm that the displayed market data reflects real-time order book depth, 24-hour volume, and last traded price.

Funding Your Spot Wallet

1. Tap the “Wallet” icon in the bottom navigation bar and select “Spot Wallet”.

2. Choose “Deposit” and select USDT as the asset; ensure the network selected matches the one supported by your external wallet—TRC-20 or ERC-20 are not accepted for Binance deposits—only BEP-20 or native TRON-based USDT is invalid here; only BSC or Solana-native USDT is unsupported—Binance requires USDT on the BNB Smart Chain or its own BEP-20 standard.

3. Copy the generated deposit address and initiate transfer from your external source.

4. Wait for confirmation count to reach the required threshold—typically two confirmations for BEP-20 USDT.

5. Refresh the Spot Wallet screen to verify credited balance appears under “Available”.

Executing a SOL Purchase Order

1. Return to the SOL/USDT trading interface and locate the order entry panel.

2. Choose between “Market”, “Limit”, or “Stop-Limit” order types based on execution priority and price control preferences.

3. For immediate acquisition, input desired USDT amount in the “Amount” field under Market Buy; the app auto-calculates approximate SOL quantity.

4. Review fee structure: Binance applies tiered maker-taker fees, with VIP levels influencing rates—standard users pay 0.1% taker fee.

5. Tap “Buy SOL” and confirm the transaction via fingerprint, face ID, or SMS code.

Storing SOL Post-Purchase

1. After successful execution, SOL appears instantly in the Spot Wallet under “Available” balance.

2. To enhance security, initiate a withdrawal to a non-custodial Solana-compatible wallet such as Phantom or Backpack.

3. Tap “Withdraw”, select SOL, and paste the destination wallet address—Binance validates Solana address format before submission.

4. Specify withdrawal amount and confirm using two-factor authentication.

5. Monitor transaction status via Solana Explorer using the provided TXID once processed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does Binance require KYC verification to buy SOL?Yes. Users must complete Identity Verification Level 1 (Basic) to enable fiat deposits and Level 2 (Intermediate) for higher withdrawal limits and full access to trading features including SOL purchases.

Q: Can I use Apple Pay or Google Pay to fund my Binance account for SOL purchase?No. As of 2026, Binance does not integrate direct mobile payment gateways for fiat on-ramps. Bank transfer, credit/debit card, and P2P remain the only supported methods.

Q: Is SOL staking available directly through the Binance app?Yes. Users may delegate SOL holdings via the “Earn” tab using Binance’s integrated staking service, which distributes rewards every epoch and displays APY in real time.

Q: What happens if my SOL buy order fails due to insufficient USDT balance?The app displays an error banner indicating “Insufficient Balance”. No partial execution occurs. Users must top up USDT before resubmitting the order.
