Sending red packets during holidays is a tradition, but have you considered sending a Bitcoin or USDT red packet? The Binance red packet feature makes it possible — zero fees, simpler than traditional digital red packets. Register on Binance and complete KYC to start sending crypto red packets.
Where to Find Red Packets
Binance Red Packet is a sub-feature of Binance Pay. Open the Binance APP, go to the Pay section, and look for "Red Packet" or "Crypto Box".
How to Create a Red Packet
- Go to Binance Pay > Red Packet
- Tap "Create"
- Choose type:
- Equal: Everyone receives the same amount
- Random: Luck-based, different amounts for each person
- Select cryptocurrency (USDT, BTC, BNB, ETH, etc.)
- Enter total amount
- Set number of packets
- Add a greeting message (optional but recommended)
- Confirm with payment password
- Share the generated link or QR code via any messaging app
Which Cryptocurrency to Use
For Stability: USDT
If you want the recipient to receive an exact value, choose USDT. Stablecoins maintain their price.
For Fun: BTC or DOGE
A tiny BTC red packet sounds impressive. DOGE is great for casual social sharing.
Avoid
Highly volatile small-cap tokens — the value may change significantly between sending and claiming.
