How do I get rid of dust positions on Binance?

Convert small, unsellable positions (dust) on Binance to BNB using the Wallet Scrubber feature in Cryptohopper.

Dust positions are very small balances that can't be sold on Binance. You can convert them to BNB directly from Cryptohopper using the Wallet Scrubber, available on both the Dashboard and the Advanced Dashboard. Binance also has a built-in feature called 'Convert dust to BNB'.

On the Dashboard

Go to Current Assets and then select Wallet Scrubber:

Convert crypto dust to BNB on Binance using Cryptohopper's Wallet Scrubber tool. Interface shows automatic conversion options for leftover balance amounts with warning message about Binance limitations and alternative convert dust to BNB feature.

On the Advanced Dashboard

Go to Current Assets, click the $ sign, and then select Wallet Scrubber:

Cryptohopper's Advanced Dashboard showing the Assets panel with Currency, Amount, and Reserved columns. Access Wallet Scrubber tool for dust conversion through the dollar sign menu. Interface displays empty balance state with Synchronize and Wallet Scrubber buttons at bottom.

Why isn't the entire position sold on Binance?

On Binance, trading fees are always charged in the asset you receive. For example, if you buy ETH/USDT, the fee is paid in ETH. If you sell ETH/USDT, the fee is paid in USDT. Binance also applies a minimum movement in the amount of the currency you're trading. Because of this, dust positions will occur.

Binance trading minimums table showing minimum trade requirements for WAVES/USDT, WIN/USDT, WAN/USDT, and WRX/USDT pairs. Displays Minimum Amount Movement and other trading restrictions that cause dust positions when trading crypto. Table illustrates why entire positions can't always be sold due to minimum trade amounts and fee structures on Binance.

There's unfortunately no way to prevent dust positions from occurring. However, you can use the Pick up leftovers feature in the Wallet Scrubber to manage them.
