Step 1: Transfer Bitcoin to an Altcoin Exchange

Binance is one the popular exchange to trade altcoins and it has a large number of tradable altcoins pairs.
To start, register and create a new account on Binance using this link:

After registration and going through the KYC processes, which should usually take 30 minutes. In some cases, few days maximum. For first timers, the process should be straight-forward and easy to follow. Once you’re done with it, you should have full access to your exchange wallet.
Step 2: Deposit BTC to exchange
Locate your Bitcoin wallet on the Binance app or web (Whichever you are using). At the box on the right, you will see a string of random numbers saying ‘BTC address’, this is a unique public address of your BTC wallet at Binance and you can receive BTC by giving this address to the person to send you the funds. Since we are now transferring our previously bought BTC on Coinbase to this wallet, click on ‘Copy Address’ or right-click on the full address and click copy to grab this address to your clipboard.
Go back to Coinbase or wherever you have your Bitcoin, select the Portfolio page and click on BTC on your asset list, then click on ‘Send’.
Paste the wallet address from your clipboard in the recipient box (for security consideration, always check if both addresses matches each other). Click ‘Send’ to proceed.
A confirmation email will be sent to you instantly, click on the confirmation link in the email and your Bitcoin will reflect on Binance after confirmation.
Step 3: Trade or Buy TrueUSD (TUSD)
After confirming your Bitcoin in your Binance wallet, open your Binance app or web and click ‘Exchange’. Locate the right column where there is a search bar, make sure “BTC” is selected as we are trading BTC to altcoin pair. Click on it and type in “TUSD”, you should see TUSD/BTC, select that pair. A price chart of TUSD/BTC will pop up in the middle of the page.
Choose the “Market” tab because that is the most straight-forward type of buying orders. You can manually type in your amount or choose what portion of your deposit you would like to spend on buying, by clicking on the percentage buttons. When you have confirmed everything, click “Buy TUSD”. After some seconds or within minutes, your TrueUSD will be credited into your TUSD wallet.
