Before You Begin
What to Check First
A little prep on the Binance side makes the connection smooth.
Futures, Most Commonly USDT-M
You’ll be trading USDT Perpetuals from a Binance Futures/Derivatives account. Decide what you’re connecting: Spot, USDT-M Futures (most common), or COIN-M Futures (less common).
Fund Before You Connect
Keep a minimum balance of $50–$150 in your Binance USDT perpetuals futures wallet. The wallet shows 0.00 until you transfer funds from Spot.
Website + 2FA
Log in to Binance on the website if possible — the API menus are easier than the mobile app. Turn on 2FA; Binance often requires it to create or edit API keys.
Least-Privilege API
Your API key needs Reading, Futures, and Spot & Margin Trading. Withdrawals stay disabled — never enable withdrawal permissions for AstraBit connections.

Part 1 · Fund Your Binance Futures Wallet
Fund Your Binance Fiat and Spot Wallet
- Log in to your Binance account.
- Click Wallet and choose Fiat and Spot.
- Click Deposit.
- Make sure the correct coin is selected before continuing.
Important: always confirm the asset and network before continuing. Cryptocurrency transactions are irreversible.





Send BTC to Your Binance Wallet
- Log in to your external wallet or exchange.
- Open Portfolio or Wallet.
- Select BTC from your asset list.
- Click Send or Withdraw.
- Paste your Binance BTC deposit address into the recipient field.
- Enter the amount of BTC you want to send.
- Confirm the transaction and complete any required verification steps.
Important: paste the deposit address exactly as copied — no extra spaces or characters. Sending the wrong asset or wrong network may result in loss of funds. (Coinbase is only used as an example here.)




Confirm BTC Arrived in Binance
- Return to your Binance Fiat and Spot wallet.
- Wait for the BTC deposit to complete.
- Confirm your BTC balance is visible in the wallet.
Deposit times may vary depending on network congestion.

Convert BTC to USDT

- Select Convert.
- In the From field, choose BTC.
- In the To field, choose USDT.
- Enter the amount of BTC to convert, or click MAX.
- Click Preview Conversion.
- Review the conversion details and click Confirm.
Many AstraBit strategies use USDT, so this conversion is required before futures trading. Review all conversion details before confirming.





Open Your Binance Futures Wallet
- Return to Wallet.
- Select Futures.
- If prompted, click Open Now to activate your Futures account.
Futures trading involves significant risk and may not be available in all regions.

- Set From to Spot Wallet.
- Set To to USDS-M Futures.
- Set Coin to USDT.
