How to change currency on Binance app?

Understanding the Currency Options on Binance App

When using the Binance app, users may wish to change the display currency or the trading currency for various reasons such as personal preference, local fiat conversion, or ease of tracking profits and losses. It’s important to understand that changing the display currency does not alter the actual funds held in your account but affects how prices and balances are shown across the app. Trading currency, on the other hand, refers to the currency used for buying and selling crypto assets. The Binance app supports multiple fiat currencies, including USD, EUR, GBP, and others, depending on your region and account settings.

Changing the Display Currency in the Binance App

To change the default display currency, follow these steps:

• Open the Binance app on your mobile device.
• Tap on the profile icon located in the bottom right corner.
• Navigate to 'Settings'.
• Select 'General' under the Settings menu.
• Choose 'Currency' from the available options.
• A list of supported fiat currencies will appear. Select the one you prefer.
• Confirm the selection by tapping 'Save' or 'Apply'.

Once completed, all price values, portfolio balances, and profit/loss metrics will now be displayed in the chosen currency. This setting is especially useful for users who want to track their crypto holdings in their local currency without converting the assets themselves.

Switching Between Fiat and Crypto for Trading

If you're looking to change the trading currency, such as switching from BTC to ETH or USD to USDT, this involves adjusting your wallet balances and trading pairs. Here's how you can do it:

• Open the 'Trade' section of the app.
• Tap on 'Convert' if you wish to exchange one cryptocurrency for another instantly.
• Enter the amount you want to convert and choose the target currency.
• Review the transaction details and confirm the conversion.

Alternatively, if you're placing a manual trade, you can select the desired trading pair from the market list. For example, if you're holding USDT and want to trade BNB instead of BTC, look for the BNBUSDT pair. This allows you to trade using your preferred base or quote currency.

Managing Fiat Currency for Deposits and Withdrawals

If you're using fiat currency like USD or EUR on Binance and want to deposit or withdraw funds, you need to ensure that your fiat wallet matches the currency you intend to use. Here’s how to manage that:

• Go to the 'Wallet' section of the app.
• Tap on 'Fiat and Spot Wallet'.
• Choose the fiat currency you currently hold or wish to add.
• If the currency is not listed, tap 'Add Currency' and select the desired fiat option.
• Once selected, you can proceed with depositing or withdrawing funds in that currency.

Keep in mind that not all fiat currencies are supported for withdrawals, and availability may depend on your geographical location and KYC verification level. Always verify the supported payment methods and currencies before initiating a transaction.

Adjusting Regional and Language Settings for Better Localization

While not directly related to currency, adjusting your regional and language settings can influence the default currency suggestions provided by the Binance app. To ensure the app aligns with your preferred currency region:

• Access the profile section.
• Go to 'Settings' and select 'Language'.
• Choose your preferred language and region.
• Return to the Currency Settings to see if the recommended fiat options have changed based on your new region.

This step is particularly helpful for users who have moved countries or wish to view crypto prices in a different fiat currency due to investment tracking needs.
