Step 3- Select The Cryptocurrency
Now you simply have to find and select the crypto coin in Metamask that you want to transfer from Binance.
To do this, go to your Metamask account, and click on the coin that you want to receive hee.
If the coin does not show on the home screen of the wallet, click on the ‘import tokens’ option.
Type the name of the coin in the search field where Metamask will automatically show the coins based on your search.
If you do not find the coin yet, then click on the ‘custom token’ option.
Type the token address which you can find on the official page of the coin and coinmarketcap.com as well.
After typing the address and token name, click on ‘import’ to display the coin on the homepage of your Metamask wallet.
Step 4- Click On Recieve
The next step is to click on the coin that you added.
After clicking on it (coin), there will be three options with every coin such as:
Click on the ‘receive’ button.
Step 5- Copy The Address
Once you click on the ‘receive’ button. Metamask will show the deposit address for that coin.
You need to copy this.
Step 6- Go To Binance
Now go to the Binance exchange and click on ‘overview’ under the wallet tab.
Next click on the ‘Fiat and Spot’ wallet to see all the assets (coins) that you own in this exchange.
Find the crypto (Ethereum for example) and click on the ‘withdraw’ option which is shown next to each coin.
Step 7- Paste The Address of the Metamask
Now a new window will pop up asking you to enter the address of the recipient.
You will have to paste the Metamask address that you copied earlier.
Paste the address you copied from the Metamask and then enter the amount you want to transfer.
You can also withdraw all amounts of the selected coin by clicking on ‘Max’.
But I do not recommend this because you should first transfer a little amount and check if everything is going right.
This is risky because no one can recover crypto which is sent to the wrong address.
This is the safest way of doing a transaction from one exchange to another.
Step 8- Confirm And Verify Withdrawl On Binance
After you have pasted the address and the amount, the next step is to verify the transaction on Binance. It depends on the verification method that you have enabled on your Binance account.
Binance requires 2FA verification to increase your account security.
Usually, Binance sends you a code via email and phone which you need to enter for verification.
Enter the code you received on email/phone, and click on confirm.
Step 8- Check Crypto On Metamask
The final step is to check the crypto on the Metamask. It will show up just by opening the main page of Metamask and clicking on the coin.
If it does not show, refresh the wallet again. It will show up.
How Much Time Does It Take To Recieve Crypto On Metamask?
Deposits can take from 30 minutes to an hour. It depends on the coin that you are transferring. If there is more traffic on the coin’s blockchain, then it will take some time.
However, if you do the above steps carefully, you will not face any issues regarding your funds.
Take every step carefully especially when copying and pasting the address, and review it to make sure that the address is valid and correct.
