How Long Does It Take to Transfer from Binance to OKX
Transferring crypto from Binance to OKX isn't complicated, but arrival times may be longer than expected. Different coins and networks vary greatly — choosing the right one saves time and fees.
Basic Process
It's essentially "Binance withdrawal + OKX deposit." On OKX: Assets → Deposit → select coin (e.g., USDT) → select network (e.g., TRC20) → copy address (and Memo if needed). On Binance: In the Binance app: Assets → Withdraw → same coin → paste OKX address → same network → enter amount → complete verification.
If you don't have an account, register on Binance first.
Arrival Time Reference
USDT
| Network | Estimated Time | Fee |
|---|---|---|
| TRC20 | 1-5 min | ~1 USDT |
| ERC20 | 5-30 min | ~3-10 USDT |
| BEP20 | 1-3 min | ~0.3 USDT |
BTC
10-60 minutes. Fee: ~0.0002-0.0005 BTC.
ETH
5-15 minutes. Fee varies with gas.
Why TRC20 Is Recommended for USDT
Fast (minutes), cheap (~1 USDT), and stable (less congestion than Ethereum). Just ensure OKX also has TRC20 selected.
Common Delay Causes
Binance withdrawal review: Large or first-time withdrawals to new addresses may need manual review (10 minutes to hours). Network congestion: ERC20 during high gas periods. OKX confirmation requirements: Even after on-chain success, OKX needs its own confirmation count.
Fee Calculation
Fees are only charged on Binance's side; OKX charges nothing for deposits. Example: 100 USDT via TRC20, 1 USDT fee → OKX receives 99 USDT.
Important Notes
Always copy the address from OKX — never manually type or use old addresses. Networks must match on both sides. Fill in Memo for XRP, EOS, XLM, etc. Enable withdrawal whitelist on Binance for security.
FAQ
Binance shows "Completed" but OKX hasn't received?
Check confirmation count on the blockchain explorer. If sufficient, contact OKX support.
Can I use Binance internal transfer to OKX?
No. Internal transfers are Binance-to-Binance only. Cross-platform requires on-chain withdrawal.
First large transfer?
Test with a small amount first. Confirm arrival before sending the full amount.
Security Reminder
Beware of phishing when transferring cross-platform. Ensure you're on Binance and OKX official sites. Enable all security verifications. Regularly check security settings in the Binance app.
