Key takeaway
The easiest first deposit on Binance is C2C/P2P: buy USDT directly from a merchant with fiat, with 0 platform fee and settlement in minutes. Crypto deposits are free on Binance's side but you pay network gas — pick TRC20 for USDT (~1 USDT), avoid ERC20. The one rule that matters most when transferring in: the sender and receiver must use the same network, or the funds can be permanently lost. Start with a small test amount, confirm the flow works, then scale up.
