How to Transfer Crypto from Huobi (HTX) to Binance

Published on 2026-03-26 | 14 min

Step-by-step guide to withdrawing from Huobi HTX and depositing to Binance, with network recommendations.

Transferring from Huobi to Binance Is Simple — But Details Matter

Moving crypto from Huobi (HTX) to Binance is essentially withdrawing from one exchange and depositing to another. The transfer happens over the blockchain. As long as you choose the correct coin and network, nothing will go wrong. Make sure you've signed up for Binance and completed identity verification first, then download the Binance app to get your deposit address.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Get Your Deposit Address from Binance

  1. Open the Binance app → Tap "Deposit"
  2. Search for and select the coin you want to deposit (e.g., USDT)
  3. Select the network (TRC20 is recommended)
  4. The page displays your deposit address and any required Memo/Tag
  5. Tap "Copy" to save the address

Important: If the coin requires a Memo (such as XRP or XLM), make sure to copy the Memo as well.

Step 2: Initiate the Withdrawal on Huobi

  1. Open the Huobi app → Go to "Assets"
  2. Find the coin you want to transfer and tap "Withdraw"
  3. Select "On-chain withdrawal"
  4. Paste the Binance deposit address you just copied
  5. Select the same network as on Binance (e.g., TRC20)
  6. If a Tag/Memo is required, enter the one obtained from Binance
  7. Enter the withdrawal amount
  8. Review all information and submit

Step 3: Complete Security Verification

Huobi will require multi-factor authentication: phone verification code, email verification code, and possibly Google Authenticator. Complete each prompt in turn.

Step 4: Wait for Arrival

Huobi withdrawals typically undergo an internal review — a few minutes for standard amounts, longer for large ones. Once approved, the transaction goes on-chain, and you just wait for blockchain confirmations before it arrives at Binance.

Choosing the Right Network Is Critical

Both Huobi and Binance support multiple networks. Your choice directly affects fees and arrival speed.

Recommended Choices

USDT transfers: TRC20 is the top pick. Huobi's withdrawal fee is typically 1 USDT, with 1–5 minute arrival. BEP20 also works and may cost less. Avoid ERC20 — fees are much higher.

ETH transfers: Only the ERC20 mainnet is available. Cost depends on current gas prices. If you're not in a rush, wait for a low-gas window.

BTC transfers: Only the Bitcoin network is available. It's slower (20–60 minutes) with moderate fees.

Other coins: Pick the cheapest, fastest network that both platforms support.

How to Confirm Both Platforms Support the Same Network

  1. Check the supported networks on Binance's deposit page
  2. Check the supported networks on Huobi's withdrawal page
  3. Select a network that appears on both lists

If a particular network is only available on one side, do not attempt to use it — this would result in a wrong-network deposit.

Potential Issues During the Transfer

Huobi's Withdrawal Review Is Slow

Huobi may require manual review for large withdrawals or first-time transfers to a new address. If the status stays on "Under Review":

  • Check your email for any confirmation requests
  • Contact Huobi support about the review progress
  • Verify that your security settings haven't triggered extra risk controls

Huobi Shows Complete but Binance Hasn't Received It

  1. Copy the TxID from Huobi's withdrawal record
  2. Check the transaction status on a blockchain explorer
  3. If on-chain confirmations are complete → contact Binance support
  4. If still confirming on-chain → keep waiting

Fees Are Higher Than Expected

Huobi displays the withdrawal fee clearly on the withdrawal page. If you find it too high:

  • Switch to a cheaper network
  • Wait for less congested network conditions
  • Consider whether transferring is worthwhile (fee ratio is higher for small amounts)

Odd Remaining Amounts

Huobi may have minimum withdrawal limits, and fees are deducted from the withdrawal amount. For example, withdrawing 100 USDT with a 1 USDT fee means 99 USDT arrives. Make sure the arriving amount exceeds Binance's minimum deposit threshold.

Transfer Recommendations by Coin

Coin Recommended Network Approx. Fee Arrival Time
USDT TRC20 1 USDT 1–5 min
ETH ERC20 Variable 5–30 min
BTC Bitcoin ~0.0003 BTC 20–60 min
BNB BEP20 ~0.001 BNB 3–10 min
SOL Solana ~0.01 SOL 1–3 min

Fees fluctuate — always check the actual amount shown during the operation.

Tips for Bulk Asset Migration

If you're moving multiple coins from Huobi to Binance, transferring each one separately means paying a fee per transaction. A more cost-effective approach:

  1. Convert all smaller holdings into USDT on Huobi
  2. Transfer the USDT in a single transaction via TRC20 to Binance
  3. Buy back the coins you want on Binance

This way you only pay one transfer fee, which is much cheaper than multiple transfers. Of course, if you hold large positions or don't want to sell, direct transfers are fine too.

Pre-Transfer Security Checklist

Before confirming the withdrawal, verify each of these:

  • Coin is correct (same on both Huobi and Binance)
  • Network is the same (both sides set to the same chain)
  • Address is correct (copy-pasted from the Binance app, not typed manually)
  • Tag/Memo is filled in (if required)
  • Amount is reasonable (arriving amount meets the minimum deposit requirement after fees)

FAQ

How long does a Huobi-to-Binance transfer take?

TRC20 typically takes 5–10 minutes (including Huobi's review time). BTC may need 30 minutes to an hour.

Is there a transfer limit?

Binance has no deposit limit. Huobi may have daily withdrawal limits depending on your KYC level.

Can I transfer margin directly from a futures account?

No. Both Huobi withdrawals and Binance deposits operate at the spot level. After the deposit arrives, you can internally transfer to a futures account within Binance.

What if the price changes during the transfer?

You're transferring the coin itself (e.g., 1 ETH), not a fiat value. Regardless of price movements, you still receive 1 ETH (minus any fees).

What if Huobi shuts down in the future?

Move your assets to a platform you trust as soon as possible. Sign up for Binance and use the Binance app to complete the transfer.

Safety Tips

  • Always test with a small amount first — confirm arrival before sending large sums
  • Check Huobi's withdrawal whitelist settings to prevent address tampering
  • Avoid making large transfers on public Wi-Fi
  • Enable all available security verifications (phone + email + Google Authenticator)
  • Save the TxID so you can contact support if anything goes wrong
