  2. Buy crypto. You can do so in various ways, including buying with a credit or debit card, buying it on Binance P2P or buying it via third-party channels.

  3. Deposit crypto to your Binance account. This only applies to crypto holders that have crypto on another platform, or are planning to buy crypto via third-party channels.

Step 2: Access Binance NFT Marketplace on the App or Browser 

Once you have BNB, BUSD or ETH in your Binance account, you’re all ready to explore the Binance NFT Marketplace. There are two ways you can access the Binance NFT Marketplace.
