Many investors in Korea use Binance for futures trading and various altcoin trading. However, due to domestic regulations, it is difficult to search the app store or the Korean language support has been discontinued, making installation and registration challenging for many.

This article provides a detailed explanation on how to download the latest version of the Binance app (including APK) in 2025 and how to make deposits on Upbit.

If the Binance app cannot be found on the Google Play Store or does not update, installing the official APK file directly is the fastest and safest method.

5. How to deposit to Binance from Korea (Upbit → Binance)

Binance does not support deposits in Korean Won (KRW). Therefore, you need to buy coins on Upbit or Bithumb and transfer them to Binance.

Recommended coins: Ripple (XRP) or Tron (TRX) (fast transfer speed and low fees).

  1. Check address on Binance:

    • At the bottom of the app [Wallets] → [Deposit] → Search for XRP or TRX.

    • Select network (XRP is Ripple, TRX is TRC20).

    • Copy the deposit address (Address) and tag (Tag/Memo).

  2. Withdraw from Upbit:

    • Upbit app → [Deposit/Withdraw] → Select the purchased Ripple/Tron → [Withdraw].

    • Paste the address and tag (Tag) copied from Binance accurately.

    • Caution: If the tag (Destination Tag) is not entered when transferring Ripple (XRP), the coins may be lost.

  3. Transfer completed: Coins will usually arrive in your Binance wallet within 3-5 minutes. Sell them and exchange for USDT to start trading.
