Step 2- Connect Metamask to Binance
One thing to note is that centralized exchanges such as Binance or Coinbase use internal wallets to store their users’ digital assets.
These internal wallets do not exist in decentralized exchanges such as PancakeSwap or UniSwap, and users need to connect their cryptocurrency wallets to execute their transactions.
In order to be able to transfer your cryptocurrencies from your account in the Binance exchange to your Metamask wallet, you must go through the steps that we have explained to you.
The first step is to add the desired blockchain to Metamask
Metamask wallet requires a simple configuration to display the addresses of different blockchains so that you can add the desired blockchain to it.
For this, we will use the Chainlist website. You can enter this site by searching its name on Google to enter the official version.
After being on the home page of this website, click on the “Connect Wallet” button so that you can connect your Metamask wallet to this platform.
After that, a new window will open for you and Metamask wallet will ask you to choose which account you want to connect to. In the next step, it will ask you for permission to access the Chainlist website, which will connect your Metamask wallet by clicking the “Connect” button.
In the section where blockchains are displayed, search for the name of the blockchain you want and click on the “Add To Metamask” button. In this tutorial, we are going to add the Binance Smart Chain blockchain.
In the next step, the Metamask wallet will ask you to issue permission to add blockchains by the Chainlist website, for which you must click on the “Approve” button.
After that, Metamask wallet will ask you to switch blockchain, which you should take into account that if you confirm this, it will cancel all the pending transactions in the previous blockchain. For this, we click on the “Switch Network” button.
If you have done all the steps correctly, you can see that the new blockchain has been added to your wallet and you can click on your account address to have copied for you.
The second step is withdrawal from the Binance account to Metamask wallet
To transfer your assets from the Binance exchange to your Metamask wallet, you must enter your Metamask wallet address in the destination wallet address field when withdrawing assets from your Binance account.
Please note that for each cryptocurrency consider whether it is a coin or a token and enter the correct blockchain address to minimize the risk of losing your assets.
If you are not familiar with the process of withdrawing cryptocurrency from the Binance exchange, we suggest that you use the tutorial published on the official Binance website. For this, you can use the following link:
