Crypto converter
Used to a clean quoted price on the stock screen, the first question on arriving in crypto is usually: what is one coin actually worth in dollars. Enter an amount, pick a coin, and this converts it at the exchange's live price — dollars are the direct quote, and a reference rate is used for other currencies, just to give you a feel for the number.
Live price from Binance's public market; the yuan figure uses a reference rate of 1 USD ≈ 7.2 CNY.
Live data comes from Binance's public market endpoint; go by what the exchange page shows in real time. The dollar price is the coin's traded price against USDT (USDT holds at roughly 1:1 with the dollar over time, so it's treated as dollars here); the yuan figure uses a reference rate of 1 USD ≈ 7.2 CNY, a rough conversion only, not the actual rate you'd get at a bank or over the counter.
Once you've checked the price, swap it on a real account
Converting just shows you a number; actually buying or selling needs an account. Sign up to Binance with our invite code to shave a bit off your spot fees — so the price you saved on the conversion isn't handed straight back in fees.

Why it converts the USDT price, not a direct dollar price
Stocks have a single quoted price; crypto has no unified official quote, and order books differ slightly across exchanges. The most liquid, most frequently updated market is each coin's price against USDT (a stablecoin pegged to the dollar). So what this pulls is Binance's live BTC/USDT, ETH/USDT and the like, then treats USDT as roughly the dollar — the two hold at about 1:1 over time, which is good enough for everyday conversions. To understand exactly what USDT is and why it can stand in for the dollar, read what the stablecoin USDT is.
The yuan column is a second conversion: take the dollar price, multiply by a reference rate. Exchange rates move daily, and bank rates and over-the-counter quotes all differ, so this number only gives you a sense of scale — don't treat it as a price you could actually get. To turn coins into cash there are platforms, channels and spreads in between, and what lands is usually a little less than this. For the cost side of spot trading, pair it with the fee calculator.
We looked at Binance's order book and this converter at the same moment, and the prices broadly matched — the only gap was the tick or two of movement in the book. Worth a reminder: thinking in "whole bitcoins" makes the price feel scary; in real trading you mostly buy a fraction of a coin by dollar amount — a few tenths, even a few hundredths — you don't have to round up to a whole coin. Set the amount to 0.01 and the numbers get a lot friendlier.
