Binance has just launched one of the most generous holiday referral campaigns in the history of the exchange. Under the name 'Christmas Is For Sharing', you can grab 20 dollars in USDC for each friend you invite to the exchange. And the best part – your friend also gets 20 dollars. It's a rare situation where both sides win.

How much can you earn?

Simple calculation: you invited 5 friends who meet the conditions – you earn 100 dollars (about 400 PLN). You invited 10 friends – 200 dollars (about 800 PLN). And so on. No limit.

Each referred friend is 20 $USDC for you and 20 $USDC for them. This is a rare situation in the crypto market where the reward is so specific and high.

What do you need to do to get 20 dollars?

If you invite a friend (you are the referrer):

  1. Share your referral link with friends, family, and coworkers

  2. Wait for them to meet the conditions (more on that shortly)

  3. Claim the Mystery Box in the Reward Center on #Binance

  4. Open the box manually – the reward will not appear automatically!

That's all. You do not need to deposit or trade anything. Just have your friend register through your link and follow a few simple steps.

What does your friend (the referred person) have to do?

Here are a few more steps, but nothing complicated:

Step 1: Registration through the referral link
Your friend must create an account on Binance by clicking on your special referral link. If they create the account normally (without the link) – there is no reward for you or for them. If you do not have an account on the Binance exchange yet, you can create one at this link.

Step 2: Identity verification (KYC)
They must go through full verification – a photo of an ID, a selfie, basic data. This is standard procedure at every regulated exchange. It takes 10-15 minutes.

Step 3: First deposit (minimum 10 USD)
Your friend must deposit at least the equivalent of 10 dollars (about 40 PLN). They can do this:

  • With a payment card (Visa, Mastercard)

  • By bank transfer

  • With cryptocurrencies from another exchange or wallet

Important: the deposit must be 'new' – transferring funds from another account to Binance does not count.

Step 4: First transaction (minimum 10 USD)
Your friend must make a transaction worth at least 10 dollars on:

  • Binance Spot – normal buying/selling of cryptocurrencies (e.g., buy Bitcoin for USDT)

  • Binance Convert – quick exchange of one cryptocurrency for another

Example: deposited 50 PLN, bought Bitcoin with it – condition met. They can also buy Bitcoin directly with a card.

Step 5: Claiming the reward
After meeting all the conditions, both you and your friend will receive a Mystery Box in the Reward Center. Note: you must open them manually! If you do not do this, the reward will be lost after some time.

How to claim the reward? Step by step

This is the most important – the reward will not appear automatically in your account. You must actively claim it.

1. Enter the Binance app or website

2. Click on your profile (usually in the upper right corner)

3. Find 'Reward Center'

4. You will see a Mystery Box labeled 'Christmas Is For Sharing'

5. Click 'Open' or 'Claim'

6. The box will open and show you the reward – 20 USDC

7. The reward will be credited to your account in the form of a voucher

8. You must activate the voucher – usually, one click is enough

9. USDC appears in your Spot account

The entire process takes 30 seconds. But if you don't do it, the reward will be lost. Binance does not transfer this automatically.

Common mistakes and how to avoid them

Error 1: Friend created an account without your link
If your friend first created a normal account and then clicked your link – it won't work. The referral link must be used BEFORE registration.

Error 2: Insufficient deposit or transaction
The minimum is 10 USD. If your friend deposits 9.50 USD – it does not count. Always deposit a little more just in case (15-20 USD is a safe amount).

Error 3: Unopened Mystery Box
Many people do not know that the reward must be claimed manually. The box is in the Reward Center, and they are waiting for the money to appear by itself. It won't. Go and open that box.

Error 4: No verification
Some people think they can skip KYC. They cannot. Without full identity verification, the campaign will not work.

Error 5: Deadline exceeded
Check carefully until when the campaign lasts. Mystery Boxes have an expiration date – if you do not open them in time, they will be lost.

Who is this for?

This is for you if:

  • You have friends who do not yet have an account on Binance

  • You have family members who want to try crypto but were afraid to start

  • You are active on social media and can share the link

  • You have a group of friends interested in crypto

This is NOT for you if:

  • All your friends already have accounts on Binance

  • You do not have time to help friends with registration and verification

  • You do not want to explain to people how it works

How much does it really cost the friend?

A question everyone asks: 'OK, I will get 20 dollars, but how much does my friend have to spend?'

Minimum math:

  • Deposit: 10 USD (you can deposit more, but this is the minimum)

  • Transaction: 10 USD worth of trading

  • Transaction fee on Binance Spot: about 0.1% = 0.01 USD

So the friend deposits 10 dollars, buys Bitcoin with it (pays a 1 cent fee), and gets back 20 dollars. They net about 10 dollars (after deducting the initial deposit).

This is a fair transaction. It is not a situation where someone has to lose for you to earn.

Restrictions and conditions

Geographical availability:
The campaign does not work in every country. Binance has a list of supported regions – check if your country is on the list. Some countries (like the USA in most states) have restrictions.

Only new users:
Your friend must be a NEW user of Binance. If they already have an account (even unverified, unused) – they will not receive the reward.

Deadline:
The campaign has a specific duration. Check the exact dates on the Binance website. Usually, such promotions last a few weeks, but it's better not to wait until the last minute.

The Mystery Box has an expiration date:
After receiving the box, you have a limited time to open it (usually a few days to a week). If you don't open it – it will be lost.

Summary: is it worth it?

If you have friends who do not yet have an account on Binance and were thinking about trying crypto – this is a great opportunity. 20 dollars is a fair amount, the conditions are simple, and the process takes 15-20 minutes.

Let's not kid ourselves – this is not a road to wealth. Even if you invited 20 friends and earned 400 dollars, it still won't change your life. But it is fair money for 30 minutes of work (i.e., explaining to friends how to register).

If you already have an account on Binance and know someone who wanted to try crypto – send them the link. It's a win-win. They get 20 starting dollars, you get 20 dollars in commission, Binance gets a new customer. Everyone is happy.
