    Legacy wants to trade you fiat to custody your Bitcoin. The ultimate hedge.

    USDC is taken. Im down with ECDC or E-Coin.

    Ill never touch BOADC. That is almost as bad as buying ADA, SHIB or XRP.

    Hey all you crypto folk, I need some help. I've got an account with Coinbase and Binance. Binance.com doesn't work with US residents anymore so they ask you to set up an account with binance.us. But Texas doesn't allow trading with binance for some reason. I brought this up to the binance customer support and they hav enabled my account for 7 days so I can withdraw my crypto from their exchange.

    However, the crypto that I have on binance isn't traded on Coinbase (mostly VET). How do I get that crypto out of binance? Will I need to sign up for a different exchange that trades VET but also is allowed in Texas? Which would be a decent exchange to use for that? This is really short term as I am just trying to convert my crypto to USD and cash out.

    You can thank Texas & Ken Paxton for suing Binance and getting us banned from that platform.

    You can transfer and trade VET on Gate.io. Here's a referral link, I probably make a nickel or something: https://www.gate.io/ref/3799657

    Once you've traded the VET for USDT you can transfer it back to Coinbase and cash out. (I would caution you to wait a month or two, as the market is really pumping)

    Send it to the vechain wallet app. I think voyager allows it. Check coinmarketcap.

    @RunninRaven SG is right, Voyager trades VET.

    I'm inviting you to start investing in crypto with Voyager. Download the app and trade $100 to get $25 of free Bitcoin

    Use code A8EFBD240 or this link to claim your BTC:

    Thanks, but I went with the gate.io link from your first reponse. I've transferred my VET and VTHO over. Hopefully you get some kind of credit from the referral. Thanks!

    Voyager used to have some insane spreads, so I stayed away from it. I don't know what it's like now. Back then, I'd almost rather pay Coinbase fees, than some of the spreads I used to see on Voyager for large purchases. Of course, if it's your last resort, you do what you gotta do, I guess.

    When I had to move crap off of Binance elsewhere, but couldn't find a trading pair for it on Coinbase or Kraken, I sent most of my stuff to Kucoin and exchanged it there. Kucoin doesn't have everything Binance has, but they do have a lot of the more common trading pairs.

    Crypto and Bitcoin are different. 99% of crypto are shitcoins.
