We don't recommend Binance: withdrawals of most major coins are currently paused there.
Step 2 — Create an account and verify your identity
Sign up with your email or phone number, verify your identity (KYC) with an ID document as the exchange requires, then turn on 2-step verification (2FA) to protect your account.
Step 3 — Deposit funds to the exchange
- Bank transfer or card: open the exchange's Deposit / Buy crypto section and choose your currency. Cards are faster but usually cost more than bank transfers.
Step 4 — Buy ETH
Go to the Spot market, find the ETH/USDT pair (or ETH with your own currency if the exchange has it), then place a market order to buy now or a limit order to buy at the price you choose.
Step 5 — Withdraw to your own wallet (optional)
For the long term, many people withdraw coins to their own wallet (self-custody). Choose a network the receiving wallet supports; different networks have different fees.

Safety tips
- Only use exchanges allowed to operate in your country, and download apps from the exchange's official website.
- No one from an exchange or from CoinXview will message you privately to guide you in buying or selling — that's a scam.
- Turn on 2-step verification (2FA) for your exchange account.
- Only invest money you can afford to lose; crypto prices are very volatile.
