Once you’re on Binance, click on “Wallet” on the header.

This will open multiple options including “Overview”, “Fiat and Spot”, “Margin”, and more.

You’ll also be able to see your cryptocurrency balances.

To receive crypto on Binance, you need to navigate to the deposit page.

To do so, click on “Deposit” at the top of the page.

3. Copy the crypto address that you want to receive

After you’ve clicked on “Deposit”, you’ll land on the “Deposit Crypto” page.

On this page, you’ll see a couple of dropdown boxes.

This includes “Coin” and “Network”.

Now, you’ll need to copy the crypto address that you want to receive.

Here’s a step-by-step guide on how you can do this:

  1. Select the crypto that you want to receive in the “Coin” dropdown box (e.g. BNB).
  2. Select the correct network (e.g. BEP20).
  3. Click on the duplicate icon to copy the crypto address.

If you’re receiving BNB, you need to use the same network as the one on MetaMask (e.g. BEP20).

On the other hand, if you’re receiving Ethereum, you need to use the “ERC20” network.

4. Log in to MetaMask and select the crypto that you want to send

After you’ve copied the crypto address that you want to receive, you need to open MetaMask.

To do so, open Chrome and click on the MetaMask extension.

Next, log in to MetaMask if you haven’t already.

Once you’re on MetaMask, you’ll see your assets under “Assets”.

Now, you need to select the crypto that you want to send to Binance under “Assets”.

For example, if you want to send BNB to Binance, select “BNB”.

5. Paste the crypto address that you’ve copied

How to send crypto from MetaMask to Binance

After you’ve pasted the crypto address from Binance to MetaMask, you’ll land on the “Send” page.

On the page, you’ll see an “Asset” dropdown box and an “Amount” field.

If you’re sending BNB to Binance, “BNB” should be selected in the “Asset” dropdown box.

Now, you need to enter the amount of crypto (e.g. BNB) that you want to send to Binance.

For example, if you want to send 0.0001 BNB to Binance, enter “0.0001” in the “Amount” field.

The “Gas Price” means the fee that you’re willing to pay to a miner.

The higher it is, the quicker your transaction will be processed.

On the other hand, the “Gas Limit” is the maximum amount of gas that you’re willing to pay for the transaction.

You can leave the “Gas Price” and “Gas Limit” fields as it is.

Click on “Next” after you’ve entered the amount of crypto that you want to send.

7. Click on “Confirm”

Confirm transaction on MetaMask

After you’ve clicked on “Next”, you’ll see three things.

This includes the amount of crypto sent, the estimated gas fee, and the total.

If you’re in the Binance Smart Chain network, the gas fee will be in BNB.

Hence, you need to ensure that you have sufficient BNB to make the transfer.

In the “Total”, you’ll see the amount of crypto that you’re transferring to Binance and the estimated gas fee.

Click on “Confirm” to confirm the transaction.

8. Check the queue

You can check its status in the “Activity” tab on MetaMask.

Under the “Activity” tab, you’ll see that the transaction is pending.

You’ll also see where the crypto is being sent to.

9. Check the status of the transaction

Binance transaction history

You can also check the status of the transaction on Binance.

To do so, go to Binance and click on “Wallet” on the header.

Next, click on “Fiat and Spot” to go to your fiat and spot wallet.

On the left sidebar, you’ll see multiple options including “Transaction History”.

Click on “Transaction History” on the left sidebar to view your transaction history.

On the page, you can check the status of the transaction on the “Status” column.

If the transaction status is “Confirming”, it means that your transaction is valid.

The confirmation time depends on the network traffic.

The transaction will typically be completed in 30 to 60 minutes.

However, if there is network congestion, it might take longer than 60 minutes.
