What Is Binance Futures?
Binance Futures is a trading platform that allows you to trade digital assets with leverage. You can trade various contracts, including but not limited to Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, and other cryptocurrencies.
To get started, you will need to create a Binance account and verify it. Once your account is verified, you will need to enable 2FA Google Authentication. Security matters, and it is a necessary step toward your own safety. Once you have done this, you will be eligible for Binance Futures.
To open a Futures account, you will need to fund your account with cryptocurrency, FIAT money, or stablecoins. Once your account is funded, you can purchase contracts on the Binance Futures platform.
If you want to automate your trading, you can do so by using the Trading Bot “Balian” by Shaman Trading. To use the bot, you will need to submit your API keys. Once you have done this, the Trading Bot “Balian” will be ready to trade automated on the Binance Futures platform for you.

How to Fund Your Binance Futures Account

To do this, simply log into your Binance account, go to the Futures section, and select the 'Transfer' tab. From here, you can decide how much you want of the stablecoin BUSD to transfer. Once you've confirmed the transfer, your funds should appear in your Futures account within a few seconds.
If you need to fund your Spot Account in your Binance, then you have various options such as payment via credit card or transferring funds from another exchange to Binance. In case you should not have stablecoin BUSD, do not worry, within Binance you can easily convert any digital currency or Fiat money into BUSD and back.
