Before transferring USDT between exchanges, it's essential to understand the core concepts of deposit and withdrawal:
- Deposit: Adding funds to a platform
- Withdrawal: Removing funds from a platform
To move USDT from Binance to KuCoin, you'll withdraw from Binance and deposit to KuCoin. Here's how:
Step-by-Step Transfer Process
1. Log in to Your Binance Account
Access Binance via the app or website and navigate to Wallet → Withdraw.
2. Select USDT as Your Transfer Currency
Choose USDT (or any other supported coin like Bitcoin or Ethereum). Ensure the selected network matches KuCoin’s requirements.

3. Choose the Correct Network
Critical: The network (e.g., BSC/BEP20, ERC20, TRC20) must match on both platforms.
- Recommended for low fees: Binance Smart Chain (BSC/BEP20)
- Network options:
| Network | Fee | Speed |
|----------|-----|-------|
| BEP20 | Low | Fast |
| ERC20 | High| Slow |
4. Enter KuCoin’s Deposit Address
- Log in to KuCoin → Assets → Deposit → Select USDT → Choose BSC (BEP20).
- Copy KuCoin’s USDT wallet address and paste it into Binance’s withdrawal form.
5. Confirm the Transaction
Enter the USDT amount, review details, and click Confirm.
6. Wait for Transfer Completion
- Typical processing time: 2–15 minutes (may vary due to network congestion).
- Track the transaction via Binance’s withdrawal history or KuCoin’s deposit records.
Key Considerations
- Double-check addresses: A wrong address or network results in permanent loss.
- Test with a small amount first: Especially for first-time transfers.
- Network fees: BEP20 saves costs compared to ERC20.
