First, the conclusion: Chinese people can download and register Binance in three steps—download the official direct link for the Android APK (for iPhone, use a foreign App Store), complete registration with an email address, and upload documents to finish identity verification. Throughout the entire process, you don’t need any extra software. On an Android phone, it usually takes about 15 to 20 minutes to complete. Below, I’ll break down each step in order, including the specific actions and the common places where people get stuck. #币安下载 #币安注册 $BTC $BNB

◆ 1. Why do you need to specifically explain how Chinese people download and register Binance

You can’t find the Binance app in domestic app stores, and Apple’s App Store in mainland China has also removed it. This is why many people get stuck at the very first step. Android users can bypass the app store and download the APK install package directly from the official website. Apple users need to switch to a foreign App Store account to find it. Once you understand this premise, the following steps won’t take you the wrong way.

◆ II. Android downloads: Only one official address is accepted

To download the Binance APK on Android, there is only one reliable source: https://download.binance.com/pack/BNApp_F0000680.apk. Open this link directly with your phone’s browser to start downloading. Before downloading, double-check that the domain is download.binance.com—if there’s even one letter off, it could be a fake page. After the download is complete, tap install. The system will most likely pop up an “Unknown sources” blocking prompt—this is normal and doesn’t mean the installation package is faulty:

・For Xiaomi phones: In the installation prompt, tap “Settings”, enter permission management, and enable the current browser’s “Install unknown apps” permission. Then go back and tap install again

・For OPPO phones: Settings > Privacy > Special permissions > Install unknown apps. Find and allow the browser you’re using

・For vivo phones: In the i-Manager pop-up, directly select “Continue installing”, or go to Settings > More settings > App management and grant permission to the browser

・For Huawei phones: Settings > Security > More security settings > Downloading apps from external sources. Check the browser

・For Samsung phones: Settings > Apps > Find the browser > In Advanced settings, allow installing unknown apps

After allowing it, you don’t need to download again. Go back to the installation package you opened earlier and tap install once more.

◆ III. iPhone: You can’t get around the overseas App Store, but there are two traps

You can’t install Binance on an iPhone directly using an APK—you must go through the App Store. Here are two easy-to-miss pitfalls that you should know first. The first pitfall: the Mainland China App Store has already removed Binance, and if your account region is Mainland China, no search keywords will return results. The second pitfall is more hidden: the US App Store can indeed find it, but that’s Binance.US—an independently operated US-compliant platform. It is completely non-interoperable with global accounts. You can’t log in with your usual global Binance account, and the supported coins and fee structures are also two separate systems. The correct approach is to prepare a foreign Apple ID that is neither Mainland China nor the US region. Taiwan or Hong Kong is recommended—both use Traditional Chinese interfaces, don’t require a local phone number or bank card, and you can select “None” for the payment method. For the Hong Kong region, you’re also additionally exempt from needing a passport or Hong Kong/Macau Travel Permit. After switching regions, you should only switch the App Store account—don’t touch system-level iCloud login. Once switched, you’ll be able to search for and download the legitimate app.

◆ IV. Registration: Email registration is more convenient than a phone number

After opening the app, tap Register. For Chinese users, it’s recommended to use email registration first. Registration URL: https://www.binance.com/register?ref=BNAPP. After opening, enter your email and set a password, then complete the first step by entering the verification code. The advantage of email registration is that it isn’t limited by the phone number’s country/region. After that, logins also use an email verification code, so switching phones won’t affect your ability to recover your account. If you don’t receive the verification code for a long time, check your spam/junk email folder first—many email providers automatically route emails from unfamiliar senders there. When setting your password, it’s recommended to use common symbol combinations. Too unusual symbols may not be supported by some mobile keyboards, which can affect logging in later.

◆ V. Identity verification: What materials do Chinese users need to prepare?

Completing registration only creates a blank account. Trading and withdrawal features will only unlock after you finish identity verification. Users in Mainland China can complete verification using an ID card or a passport. You need to prepare: the document itself, a well-lit shooting environment where all four corners are clearly visible, and to complete facial recognition actions as prompted. Three common reasons for rejection are: glare on the document photo makes the text unreadable, the document’s four corners are not fully captured in the photo, or the lighting is too dim / the angle is too off during facial recognition. Reviews usually take from a few minutes to dozens of minutes. Being rejected doesn’t mean the account is abnormal. Retake the document photo following the instructions—usually you can pass.

◆ VI. Three security settings you must do after installation

After completing identity verification, spend a few minutes to finish the security settings—don’t wait until something goes wrong to fix it. First, switch from SMS-only verification to an authenticator app: scanning and binding is more reliable because SMS codes carry a risk of being intercepted, while authenticator apps generate dynamic codes offline. Second, set an anti-phishing code. After you set it, all official emails will include this unique code. Treat emails that don’t contain the code as phishing and don’t open them or scrutinize them—handle them directly as phishing. Third, enable the withdrawal address whitelist. Only addresses on the whitelist can be used for withdrawals. Newly added addresses must wait until the unfreezing period is over before taking effect—this adds an extra time lock to asset transfers.

◆ VII. Common checklist to self-check when you get stuck

If you run into issues, compare with these: download interruptions are mostly caused by network fluctuations—click the download link again; installation blocked is a built-in system security mechanism—go to the second section for the correct “allow” path for your specific phone brand; if iPhone users can’t find the app, first confirm the App Store account region—it's neither Mainland China nor the US; if you don’t receive the verification code when registering, check the spam/junk email; if identity verification is rejected, retake the document photo, and pay attention to lighting and all four corners fully in frame; if you forget your password, use the password recovery flow for the registration email—don’t repeatedly guess your password, which can temporarily lock your account.

◆ FAQ

Q: What’s the safest way to download the Binance app on Android?

A: Only trust the official direct link download.binance.com. Download pages found through other channels may be impersonation sites. If the domain doesn’t match, close it immediately—don’t click.

Q: Can I download Binance on an iPhone in China?

A: You can’t find it in the Mainland China App Store. You need to switch to a foreign Apple ID, and you can’t use a US (Binance.US) account—it's completely non-interoperable with the global Binance. It’s recommended to use a Taiwan or Hong Kong Apple ID.

Q: Is identity verification required to register for Binance?

A: After registering, you can log in first, but core features such as trading and withdrawals will only unlock after completing identity verification. It’s recommended to do it right after you register.

Q: Does identity verification require a passport?

A: For users in Mainland China, you can use either an ID card or a passport. Choose one document type, upload a clear photo, and complete facial recognition—there’s no need to provide both.

Q: What should I do if Xiaomi phones keep blocking the installation?

A: In the installation prompt, tap “Settings”, go to permission management, and enable the browser’s “Install unknown apps” permission. Then go back and tap install again.
