After using Binance for a while, you might notice a bunch of tiny leftover coins in your account — each worth only a few cents, impossible to trade. These "dust" assets clutter your holdings list. Binance has a dedicated feature to handle them.
You need a Binance account to clean up dust. Register on Binance to get started. After downloading the Binance App, you can find the dust conversion feature on the assets page.
What Is Dust
Dust refers to token balances too small to sell on the trading market. For example, holding 0.00003 BTC might only be worth a couple of dollars. Trading markets have minimum order requirements, and this tiny amount of BTC isn't enough to place a sell order.
Dust comes from many sources: leftover fractions after trades, small rewards from events, residual amounts after fee deductions, and more.
Converting Small Balances to BNB
Binance provides a "Small Balance Conversion" feature that lets you convert these fragments to BNB with one click. In the App, go to "Assets," then "Spot," and find "Convert Small Balance to BNB" or "Dust Conversion."
The page will list all small assets below a certain value in your account. Check the coins you want to convert and tap "Convert." The system converts all selected coins to BNB at the current market rate.
The converted BNB may not be much, but at least it can be used to offset trading fees. Better than letting it sit idle.
Conversion Fees
Converting small balances to BNB has no additional fees, though the quoted rate may differ slightly from market price. Given that these assets can't be traded anyway, the difference is negligible.
Are There Limits
Yes. Each coin must be below a certain value to qualify for conversion (usually worth less than a certain USDT equivalent). If a coin's value exceeds this threshold, it won't appear in the convertible list — meaning it's large enough to trade normally on the market.
How Often Should You Clean Up
We recommend doing it once a month. As you trade more coins, the amount of dust in your account grows. Regular cleanup keeps your holdings list clean and accumulates BNB over time.
You Can Also Use Convert
If some small balances are slightly above the dust conversion threshold but you don't want to deal with the trading market, you can use the Convert feature to swap them to USDT or BNB. Convert supports any coin pair and isn't limited by minimum order amounts.
Preventing Dust
Select "all" when selling instead of manually entering a quantity — this reduces leftover fractions. Or use Convert immediately after selling to swap the remainder.
Additionally, if you enable BNB fee deduction, fees are paid directly from your BNB balance, preventing fee-related residuals across various coins.
