Many people use both OKX and Binance and regularly need to move crypto between the two platforms. Transferring from OKX to Binance is essentially a withdrawal plus a deposit — the process isn't complicated, but a few details are worth paying attention to. Make sure you've signed up for Binance, and download the Binance APP to get your deposit address.
Basic Steps
Step 1: Get Your Binance Deposit Address
- Open the Binance APP and tap "Deposit"
- Select the coin you want to receive (e.g., USDT)
- Select the network (e.g., TRC20)
- Copy the deposit address (and the Memo if applicable)
Step 2: Initiate the Withdrawal on OKX
- Open the OKX APP and go to "Assets"
- Select "Withdraw"
- Choose the coin
- Paste the Binance deposit address you copied
- Select the same network as on Binance
- Enter the Memo if required
- Enter the withdrawal amount
- Confirm and complete security verification
Step 3: Wait for Arrival
After initiating the withdrawal, OKX first conducts a security review (usually a few minutes), then broadcasts the transaction on-chain. Once on-chain confirmations are complete, Binance credits the funds.
Which Network to Choose
Your network choice directly affects arrival speed and fees. Common networks supported by both platforms:
TRC20 (Recommended)
- Fee: OKX's USDT-TRC20 withdrawal fee is typically around 1 USDT
- Arrival time: 3-10 minutes
- Best for: USDT
BEP20 (BSC)
- Fee: Low
- Arrival time: 2-5 minutes
- Best for: USDT, BNB, and BSC-based tokens
ERC20
- Fee: Higher (depends on Ethereum gas prices)
- Arrival time: 10-30 minutes
- Best for: ETH and ERC20 tokens
Native Networks for Specific Coins
- BTC: Use the BTC network
- ETH: Use the ERC20 network
- SOL: Use the Solana network
Key rule: The network must match on both sides. If Binance is set to TRC20, OKX must also be set to TRC20.
Arrival Times
Normal arrival times by network:
| Network | OKX Review | On-Chain Confirmation | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| TRC20 | 1-5 min | 2-5 min | 3-10 min |
| BEP20 | 1-5 min | 1-3 min | 2-8 min |
| ERC20 | 1-5 min | 5-20 min | 10-30 min |
| BTC | 1-10 min | 20-60 min | 30-70 min |
OKX may apply additional manual review for large withdrawals, which takes longer.
FAQ
Does OKX have withdrawal limits?
Yes. Accounts without advanced verification have daily withdrawal limits. Completing higher-level KYC increases the limit. Check the specific amount on OKX's withdrawal page.
OKX shows withdrawal successful but Binance hasn't received it?
First check the transaction status on a blockchain explorer. If it's confirmed on-chain, check whether Binance's deposit history shows it. If there's no Binance record, verify the address and network are correct. If everything checks out, wait a bit longer or contact Binance support.
Can I use an internal transfer?
OKX and Binance are two independent exchanges and don't support internal transfers. All transfers between them go through the blockchain and incur on-chain fees.
How much should I transfer at once?
Fees are fixed per transaction (e.g., USDT-TRC20 withdrawal fee is a flat 1 USDT regardless of amount). So from a fee perspective, transferring a larger amount at once is more economical. From a safety perspective, test with a small amount first if it's your first time.
What if the price changes during the transfer?
Blockchain transfers move a fixed quantity of coins — price fluctuations don't affect the number of coins transferred. If you transfer 100 USDT from OKX, Binance receives 100 USDT (minus the fee). For volatile assets like BTC or ETH, the quantity stays the same but the fiat value may change.
Security Considerations
- Always get the latest deposit address from the Binance APP. Don't use outdated information.
- For coins that require a Memo, always include it — otherwise you'll need to contact support for recovery.
- Ideally, the verified name should be the same on both platforms. While this doesn't affect on-chain transfers, it makes support interactions easier if something goes wrong.
- Don't perform large transfers over public Wi-Fi.
- Enable all security verifications on both platforms (Google Authenticator, SMS, email).
Fee Comparison
The transfer fee is charged by OKX (as a withdrawal fee). Depositing to Binance is free, but on-chain confirmation takes time.
Common fee reference (based on OKX rates, subject to change):
- USDT-TRC20: ~1 USDT
- USDT-ERC20: ~3-5 USDT (varies with gas)
- BTC: ~0.0002-0.0005 BTC
- ETH: ~0.001-0.005 ETH
If you frequently transfer between the two platforms, TRC20 is the most economical choice. Remember to sign up for Binance to keep your account in good standing, and keep your Binance APP download up to date for accurate deposit information.
