CoinTribune’s opinion on the best way to buy BNB

The best way to buy BNB is to use the Binance platform. It is also possible to benefit from certain advantages that Binance offers regarding, in particular, transaction and referral fees. You can earn up to 40% of your referral’s trading fees if you have 500 BNB on your account. Furthermore, regardless of the number of BNB you buy, you can earn a 25% on trading fees if you choose to pay them in BNB. To turn on this option just click on the silhouette (in the top right corner of your app) and then ‘Fee Discount’, there you can select the 25% discount option on all trading as well as the option for a 5% reduction on margin trading interest.

The other advantage of using Binance is its quick and easy purchasing process. The exchange only requires you to create an account, which will then be verified by email, to access their website. You will be able to buy BNB after making a deposit. In summary, BNB offers many benefits like lower transaction fees on the Binance exchange. However, it should be noted that the cryptocurrency industry is not regulated internationally, which means there are risks when it comes to buying BNB. With all said and done, if you make sure you secure your account, watch for swings in price and don’t panic buy and sell, BNB should be a good investment!
