NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens) are unique digital assets on the blockchain, encompassing digital art, gaming items, music, virtual land, and many other types. The Binance NFT Marketplace is an NFT trading platform launched by the world's largest exchange, offering mainland users a convenient NFT buying and selling experience. This tutorial provides a detailed guide on how to browse, purchase, and manage NFTs on the Binance NFT Marketplace.
1. NFT Fundamentals
What Is an NFT
An NFT is a unique digital asset stored on the blockchain. Each NFT has a unique identifier and cannot be exchanged interchangeably. Unlike cryptocurrencies (where 1 BTC can be swapped for another 1 BTC), every NFT is one of a kind.
Sources of NFT Value
- Scarcity: Limited editions or one-of-a-kind items
- Artistic value: The creativity and aesthetics of digital artwork
- Utility value: Gaming items, membership perks, event passes, etc.
- Community value: Holding a specific NFT represents membership in a community
- Collectible value: Similar to traditional collectibles, with expectations of appreciation
NFT Risk Disclaimer
- The NFT market is extremely volatile; prices can plummet to zero rapidly
- Many NFT projects lack real value backing
- Liquidity risk: You may not always find a buyer when you want to sell
- Only invest funds you can afford to lose

7. How to Evaluate NFT Value
Focus on Project Fundamentals

- Community activity: Engagement levels on Discord, Twitter, and other social media
- Project roadmap: Projects with clear development plans and ongoing updates
- Utility value: Whether the NFT grants holders tangible benefits
Data Analysis
- Floor price trend: Price changes of the lowest-priced NFT in a collection
- Trading volume: Daily/weekly volume reflects market activity
- Number of holders: More independent holders indicates a healthier distribution
- Listing rate: Too many listings may indicate heavy sell pressure
Rarity Assessment
Many PFP-type NFTs have different attributes and rarity levels:
- Check the various attributes of an NFT

9. Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: Do I need to pay gas fees to buy NFTs on Binance?
Trading within the Binance NFT marketplace does not require paying blockchain gas fees -- only a 1% platform fee. However, if you withdraw an NFT to an on-chain wallet, you will need to pay on-chain gas fees.
Q2: What are the Binance NFT marketplace fees?
Buyers pay no additional fees. Sellers pay a 1% platform fee and a certain percentage of royalties (set by the creator) upon sale.
Q3: Can I buy NFTs directly with CNY?
Not directly. You need to first purchase cryptocurrency (BNB, ETH, or USDT) via C2C, then use cryptocurrency to buy NFTs.
Q4: Can I get a refund after buying an NFT?
NFT transactions are non-refundable once completed. This is a characteristic of blockchain transactions. Be sure to confirm carefully before purchasing.
Q5: How can I tell if an NFT is counterfeit?
On the Binance NFT marketplace, verified projects carry an official badge. When purchasing, check whether the collection has been verified by Binance to avoid buying counterfeit NFTs.
Q6: Do NFTs have significant appreciation potential?
Some blue-chip NFT projects have indeed performed very well in terms of appreciation, but the value of most NFTs may drop to zero. The risk of NFT investing is much higher than mainstream cryptocurrencies -- participate rationally.
10. Summary
The Binance NFT marketplace provides mainland users with a convenient and secure NFT trading platform. Compared to trading directly on on-chain marketplaces like OpenSea, the advantages of Binance NFT include simpler operations, no need to manage external wallets, and lower fees.
