SUSD can be bought on several crypto exchanges. However, just like most of the other cryptos, you will have to trade your FIAT ($) to a cryptocurrency before moving on to the crypto exchange of your choice. We will be guiding you through the whole journey on how to buy and store SUSD.

Coinbase is one of the largest and most secure FIAT-to-crypto exchanges in the world. And this is where most people in fact start their crypto journey. Coinbase is as of writing this article offering 240 different cryptocurrencies but we are going to focus on buying Tether (USDT) today. Click the button below and sign up to get a bonus of $10 in BTC when you buy $100 worth of any cryptocurrency.

Binance

With its jaw-dropping $2 billion daily trading volume and 1.4 million transactions per second, Binance is as of writing this guide the largest cryptocurrency exchange in the world. They offer a TON of different coins and tokens to be traded on their platform and are my personal go-to exchange. One of those coins is in fact SUSD. Use the button below to register your new account.

Note: Binance does not allow US citizens to register and use their services. So if you are from the US make sure to check out the other exchanges that we have listed at Step 3.

Activate 2FA and verify identity

Once you have created a new account on Binance by following similar steps as we did on Coinbase you will be prompted to activate 2-factor authentication (2FA).

It has become an industry-standard so I would highly suggest activating 2FA on any site that you want extra protection on.

You might also be required to verify your identity to be able to trade. This entirely depends on the exchange policies and your local regulations. The verification is very straightforward and should not take more than 30 minutes to possibly a few days depending on Binance. Once the verification is done you will have higher limits and access to everything you need.

Step 4: Deposit USDT to Binance Find USDT in your wallet

It’s time to head over to the wallet and deposit your newly bought USDT. Click on “Fiat and Spot” under the “Wallet” tab.

Find or search for USDT and click “Deposit”. This will bring you to the deposit page.

If this is your first time making a cryptocurrency transfer this page might feel a little scary. But there is absolutely nothing to worry about if you read and do everything carefully (just as with your bank account).

First of all, make sure that the “Coin” field is the same as the coin you will be depositing. In this case, we will be depositing USDT. The network should be “BTC” if you are depositing Bitcoin. “ETH” if you are depositing Ethereum and “BSC (BEP20)” if you are depositing USDT.

Next up is the actual address to your wallet, which basically looks like an alphabet and number soup. This is the unique public address where your USDT will be stored on Binance. Click on the two overlapping papers to copy the address.

Note: If you feel unsure about what you are doing, make sure to check out Binance FAQ section for answers.

Deposit USDT from Coinbase

Head over back to Coinbase and click on the “Send/Recieve” button in the top right corner.

Paste your address under the “To” field. Also, make sure to double-check that the address on Binance and the address you just paste are the same. Because there is some malware out there that can alter the pasted address. What that means is that if the address does not match you are basically sending your precious USDT to someone else’s wallet. This is something we really do not want to happen!

Once you have double-checked the address you can enter how much USDT you want to send and a message (if you want to). Then go ahead and click on the “Continue” button.

You should receive a confirmation email within a minute. Click the link inside of that email to confirm the transfer you just submitted. Your USDT is now on their way to Binance.

The transfer often only takes a few minutes, but can sometimes take a few hours at worst. It all depends on how congested the USDT blockchain is. You will get a confirmation email from Binance once the USDT has been deposited into your account.

It’s now the best time to buy SUSD. So let’s jump right into step 5!
