Risk notice

Stablecoins are not risk-free — a shortfall in an issuer's reserves, a change in regulation, or an extreme market can briefly break the peg, and a weak one can even go to zero. This site is educational and how-to only, not investment advice; always go by the official pages of Binance and each issuer.

Also: Binance's services and fee rebates are restricted or unavailable in some countries (for example the United States and Canada; the UK has limits; and others — rules change often). Before signing up, check whether Binance is available where you live and whether you meet the KYC requirements — go by Binance's official pages. Don't use a VPN or fake details to get around restrictions — that can get your account and funds frozen.
