Download and Access¶
The Binance app is one of the two ways to reach Binance Alpha. This page gets you to the BTG market with the right account; the next page covers the order itself.
Who this is for¶
Traders who already use Binance and want to buy or sell BSC BTG from a phone. If you would rather use a browser, follow Trade on Binance Web.
Before you start¶
- The Binance app from the App Store or Google Play, or from the download link on binance.com. Do not install an APK from a message.
- A Binance account with the identity verification your region requires.
- USDT available to the account you will trade from. The Alpha page shows the available balance next to the order form.
- The BTG contract address from Check the BTG Contract, so you can confirm the token page.
Steps¶
1. Install and sign in¶
Install the app, sign in, and complete any verification prompt. Turn on two-factor authentication before you add funds. A Binance login is not a wallet recovery phrase; never share either.
2. Open Binance Alpha¶
Open Markets and look for Alpha, or use the app's search for Alpha. Binance changes menu labels between versions; the important thing is the Alpha area, not the exact tab name.
You can also open the BTG token page on Binance Alpha directly. For the official walkthrough, see Binance Alpha: FAQ and guides.
If the app opens it in a browser, sign in there or search the token inside the app.
3. Check the token page¶
The page should show:
- BTG and Openverse Network
- the contract beginning
0x4c90…and endingf2374e - the BSC chain
- a BTG/USDT market
If the name matches but the contract does not, you are on a different token page. Go back and use the link above.
4. Understand the Alpha account¶
Binance Alpha trades from an Alpha account, which is separate from your spot balances and from Binance Wallet. The order form shows the USDT available to that account. If it is empty, use the page's transfer or deposit control to move USDT in; the exact label depends on the app version.
Do not send USDT to a random address from a chat. Only use the transfer flow inside Binance.
5. Check availability¶
Binance Alpha is not available in every region, and some accounts may see a risk-control notice. Read the notice on the token page. If the page says instant orders or withdrawals are suspended, use a limit order instead of an instant order.
Verify it worked¶
- The token page shows BTG, BSC, and the contract above.
- The Alpha account shows a USDT balance.
- The order form is available for BTG/USDT, with a visible fee.
- Your region and account status allow trading; if not, the page explains the restriction.
Troubleshooting¶
| Problem | What to do |
|---|---|
| Alpha is missing from the app | Update the app and check that the feature is available in your region. Menu placement changes between versions. |
| The token page shows a different contract | Do not trade. Return to the link on this page and compare the full address. |
| The USDT balance is zero | Move USDT into the Alpha account using the in-app transfer flow. Spot and Alpha balances are separate. |
| The order form is read-only | The venue may be in maintenance or restricted for your account. Read the notice and try the web version. |
| A "support" account offers to help | Binance staff will not ask for your password, MFA code, or recovery phrase. Treat the message as a scam. |
