Overview of Binance Lite
Binance Lite is designed with ease of navigation in mind, making it an ideal starting point for new users. The app focuses on the most popular cryptocurrencies and allows users to sort coins by metrics such as popularity, market cap, price, and 24-hour price changes. Additionally, users can view customizable candlestick charts to track price trends.
Buying and Selling on Binance Lite
Buying or selling cryptocurrency on Binance Lite is straightforward:
1. To Buy:
Select the coin you wish to buy (e.g., BTC).
Tap the [BUY] button on the coin’s page.
Choose the fiat currency you wish to use, enter the amount, and select a payment method.
Confirm the order, and the purchased cryptocurrency will appear in your wallet.
2. To Sell:
On the same coin page, tap the [SELL] button in the top right corner.

Using Binance Convert
The Binance Lite app also provides a convenient way to trade between cryptocurrencies using the Binance Convert feature. Here’s how to use it:

Market Option for Instant Conversion
In the Convert Market option, your order will be executed immediately at the current market price, allowing for a quick and easy transaction.
Convert Limit Option for Targeted Pricing
For users who prefer to buy or sell at a specific price, Binance Lite offers a Limit option. This allows you to place an order at a set price, and the transaction will only execute if the market reaches that price.
Final Thoughts
For users who are active or experienced in trading, the Binance Pro version offers advanced features and a wider array of trading tools. However, if you’re new to cryptocurrency and looking for a simple, accessible platform to get started, Binance Lite is an excellent choice. You can also freely switch between Lite and Pro versions to explore the full suite of features available on Binance.
Whichever mode you choose, Binance provides a versatile and robust platform for all experience levels in the world of cryptocurrency.
