No, you don't. When registering, you can choose either phone number or email. You don't need both.

According to the official registration process, you only need to use either your email or phone number to create a basic account. The registration page gives you two options – "Email Registration" and "Phone Registration". Pick whichever is more convenient for you.
However, here are two things to note:
Domestic phone numbers can register, but there are risks: +86 phone numbers can receive verification SMS normally on Binance's international site. However, some carriers' blocking mechanisms may prevent you from receiving the verification code. If you rely solely on your phone number for registration, managing your account after changing your number can be troublesome.
For security settings, it's recommended to use both: Although not required at registration, after completing identity verification (KYC), Binance's security center supports binding both your phone number and email as two-factor authentication (2FA) protection. If you're concerned about international SMS delays or blocking, you can prioritize using Google Authenticator, which is more reliable than SMS.

Next step: When registering, you can just fill in your email first for simplicity. Later, add your phone number in the security settings – an extra layer of verification is always better than less.
