Binance's Instant Exchange feature provides users with fast token-to-token conversion services, supporting trading between BTC, ETH, USDT, BNB and other major cryptocurrencies. Most tokens listed on Binance are available for instant exchange—check the Digital Assets List for full availability.
How Binance Instant Exchange Works
Unlike order-book trading, Instant Exchange uses a counter-quotation model that:
- Charges zero trading fees
- Eliminates slippage
- Displays slightly different rates than spot market prices due to built-in spreads
The process involves:
- Users request a quote from Binance's liquidity counter
- The system provides a competitive market-based rate
- Users confirm the exchange to execute immediately
