How to Transfer Crypto from Binance to Coinbase?

Some users need to transfer assets from Binance to Coinbase — for cashing out on a US-compliant platform or diversifying holdings. This article provides a detailed walkthrough.

Make sure you have a Binance account. If not, register a Binance account first. We recommend getting the Binance APP for withdrawals.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Get the Deposit Address on Coinbase

Open the Coinbase APP
Tap "Receive"
Select the cryptocurrency you want to receive
Coinbase will display the deposit address and corresponding network
Copy the address

Note: Coinbase may have limited network options — for example, ETH typically only supports the ERC20 network.

Step 2: Initiate Withdrawal on Binance

Log in to Binance
Go to "Wallet" > "Withdraw"
Select the cryptocurrency to transfer
Paste Coinbase's deposit address
Select the same network as Coinbase
Enter the amount
Complete security verification
Confirm the withdrawal

Step 3: Confirm Arrival

Get the TxID from Binance's withdrawal history
Check the deposit status in Coinbase's transaction history
Verify the balance after arrival

Important Notes

Coinbase supports limited networks: Coinbase may not support all networks. For example, USDT on Coinbase might only support ERC20, not TRC20. Always verify which networks Coinbase supports before proceeding.

BTC or ETH are recommended: Due to Coinbase's limited network support, transferring BTC (BTC network) or ETH (ERC20) is the safest option.

USDT note: If transferring USDT to Coinbase, confirm that Coinbase supports USDT and check which networks are available. Coinbase's USDT support may vary by region.

Fee Information

Withdrawal fees from Binance to Coinbase are charged by Binance and depend on the cryptocurrency and network:

BTC (BTC network): approximately 0.0001–0.0002 BTC
ETH (ERC20): approximately 0.001–0.005 ETH, higher during gas spikes
ETH (Base network): extremely low fees if Coinbase supports Base L2

Tips for Saving on Fees

Use the Base network: Coinbase's own Base L2 network has very low fees — use this if Binance supports it
Avoid network congestion: Ethereum gas fees are usually lower during US nighttime hours
Consolidate before transferring: Avoid frequent small transfers; combine and send in one transaction

Summary

Transferring crypto from Binance to Coinbase isn't difficult — the key is confirming that Coinbase supports your chosen cryptocurrency and network. BTC and ETH are the safest bets. Just double-check the address and network match, and you're good to go.
