If you frequently trade on Binance C2C, you've probably noticed merchants with blue verification badges. They get more exposure, higher trust, and earn from buy-sell spreads. Here's how to become one.
Benefits of Being a Verified Merchant
- Blue badge: Users prefer verified merchants, resulting in more orders
- Priority listing: Higher ranking in merchant lists
- Higher limits: Much higher per-trade and daily limits
- Earn spreads: The difference between buy and sell prices is your profit
- Priority support: Faster issue resolution
Application Requirements
Account requirements: Signed up for Binance with advanced verification, account age 30+ days, no violations.
Trading experience: 30+ C2C trades in past 30 days, 80%+ completion rate, 95%+ positive rating.
Financial requirements: Security deposit required; sufficient available assets for trading.
Application Process
- Open Binance App or web → C2C → Find "Become a Merchant"
- Read and agree to merchant terms
- Fill out the application form
- Pay the security deposit

- Start posting ads upon approval
Security Deposit
Paid in USDT (typically thousands to tens of thousands). Refundable upon exiting with no violations.
Merchant Revenue
Main income is from buy-sell spread. Example:
- Buy at 7.28 CNY/USDT, sell at 7.32 CNY/USDT
- Earn 0.04 CNY per USDT
- 100,000 USDT daily volume = ~4,000 CNY daily profit
Risks
- Bank card risk controls: Large fund flows may trigger bank freezes
- Disputes: Various buyer issues are inevitable
- Market volatility: USDT price fluctuations can cause losses
- Capital lock-up: Deposit and trading capital ties up significant funds
