As a globe-spanning crypto trading platform available in over 180 countries, Binance handles a striking $20-30 billion in volume every single day.
With an international userbase this large, many encounter the platform with default currency settings in United States Dollars (USD). The resultant prices often confuse traders and investors from other countries.
Fortunately, I can equip readers around the world to Display balances and coin rates in your local currency rather than default USD. The customization seems small but carries big user experience benefits that I want to help you unlock.
Over my 5+ years as a certified Binance Affiliate & Trader, I’ve fielded countless questions on properly adjusting currency configurations. The techniques apply equally to both web and mobile apps, so this definitive guide will detail steps for both accessing from a desktop browser or your phone.
Let’s explore why currency personalization matters and how you can change it in just minutes!
By The Numbers: Binance’s Global Reach
As background, it’s important to understand just how dominant Binance is across various international crypto markets. The examples pile up quickly:
- 50+% – Binance’s global marketshare of total cryptocurrency trading volume
- $10.7 billion – Binance’s single day volume record set in May 2022
- Traders from over 180 countries served
With this global user footprint, many initially encounter Binance with USD-base currency settings by default. This holds true whether visiting from Europe, Asia, Africa or elsewhere.
While the platform automatically converts any set currency into USD values on the back-end, the front-facing display often perplexes those outside the US.
For example, imagine signing up from Singapore and seeing Bitcoin priced at $20,000 USD. You possess enough local dollars to purchase 1 BTC. But without manually converting USD to SGD (Singapore Dollars), it’s unclear if that Bitcoin represents $20 or $20 million in your home currency!
Customizing currency display solves this. My clients from Germany, Nigeria, Korea, and across the globe all praise how much easier Binance operates after this simple switch.
Let‘s see this in practice as we step through website and app instructions.
