Binance Arbitrum Deposit: Which Network Should You Choose?
Select the Arbitrum One network, which is the Arbitrum mainnet officially supported and integrated by Binance. Whether you are depositing ETH or other tokens on Arbitrum (such as USDC, USDT, etc.), when you search for the corresponding coin on the Binance deposit page, the network field should always be set to "Arbitrum One".
1. What Token Are You Depositing?
What to do: First, make sure the token you want to deposit is the version that Binance supports on Arbitrum One.
How to do it: Binance integrates various tokens via the Arbitrum One network. In other words, Binance accepts tokens that are issued on the Arbitrum One network.
Native ETH: Binance has completed Arbitrum One ETH integration and supports ETH deposits through this network.
USDC: Binance supports native USDC deposits on Arbitrum One.
USDT: Binance supports USDT deposits on Arbitrum One, but note that this is a cross-chain asset controlled by a bridging smart contract, not directly issued by Tether.
Other tokens: Binance will announce when it has completed integration of a token (such as LPT, HFT, HYPER, JOE, MAV, ETHFI, etc.) on the Arbitrum One network, at which point the deposit function will become available.
When are you done: On the Binance [Deposit] page, after searching for the token, if the network list includes "Arbitrum One", it means that the token can be deposited through this network.
In a nutshell: Whether Binance supports depositing the Arbitrum One version of a token solely depends on whether that token's contract has been deployed on Arbitrum One and integrated by Binance. Simply look at the deposit page to know if it's supported — no need to guess.
2. Get the Arbitrum One Deposit Address on Binance
What to do: Log in to your Binance account, go to the deposit page, select the Arbitrum One network, and get your unique deposit address.
How to do it:
Log in to the Binance app or website, click [Wallet] → [Deposit] → [Deposit Crypto].
Search for the token you want to deposit (e.g., ETH, USDC, USDT).
In the network list, select [Arbitrum One]. The page will generate a unique deposit address. Copy it.
When are you done: You have copied the Binance-provided Arbitrum One network deposit address.
3. Initiate a Transfer from an External Wallet
What to do: Send funds from your external wallet (such as MetaMask, OKX Web3 Wallet, etc.) to Binance.
How to do it:
Open your external wallet, locate the corresponding token, and click [Send].
Paste the Arbitrum One address you copied from Binance into the "Recipient Address" field.
Critical step: In the "Select Network" option, you must choose [Arbitrum One] — exactly matching the network you selected on Binance. Choosing the wrong network (e.g., Ethereum mainnet) will result in the funds not arriving.
Make sure your wallet has enough ETH to cover the Arbitrum network gas fee.
Submit the transaction.
When are you done: The transaction has been submitted and you have obtained a TxID.
Common reasons for failure:
Wrong network: Choosing Ethereum mainnet or another L2 network instead of Arbitrum One sends the funds to the wrong place and they cannot be credited.
Wrong token version: For example, you may hold USDC on Arbitrum Nova in your wallet, but Binance only supports USDC on Arbitrum One. Different networks mean the assets are not interchangeable.
Risk warning:
Network mismatch = possible permanent loss of funds: The network selected during deposit must be exactly the same as the network used by the withdrawal platform; otherwise, the funds may be irretrievable.
Cross-chain asset risk: Some tokens (like USDT on Arbitrum One) are cross-chain assets not directly issued by the original issuer, carrying certain smart contract risks.
4. Confirm the Deposit Arrival
What to do: Wait for on-chain confirmations and check your Binance account balance.
How to do it:
Use the TxID to check the transaction status on an Arbitrum block explorer (such as arbiscan.io). Arbitrum network confirmations typically take just a few minutes.
Log in to Binance, go to [Wallet] → [Spot Account], and see if your balance has increased.
When are you done: Your Binance spot account balance has been updated.
How to confirm you performed the steps correctly?
Enter the TxID on an Arbitrum block explorer and verify the transaction status is "Success". Then log in to Binance and check that the corresponding token balance has increased on the [Assets] page. For your first transaction, it is recommended to send a small test amount first, then send the remainder after it arrives. If the deposit hasn't arrived after a long time, check whether the network selected during the deposit is exactly the same as the network used to send from your wallet — Arbitrum One is the only correct choice.
