What ETH is

This is Binance-Peg Ethereum: a token on BNB Chain that tracks the price of ether. Binance issues it and holds ETH in reserve against it. Wallets and explorers show it under the symbol ETH, but it is not ether on the Ethereum network and cannot pay for anything there.

People hold it for ether exposure without leaving BNB Chain, and it trades in deep pools against WBNB and USDT. Its price is ether's, moved by the same things: demand for Ethereum block space, staking, flows into funds that hold ETH, and the market as a whole.

What it adds is Binance. The peg depends on Binance keeping the reserve and redeeming against it, and that dependency is the difference between this token and ether in an Ethereum wallet.

Buying ETH, step by step

  1. 1

    Connect an EVM wallet

    Open the swap panel and connect MetaMask, Coinbase Wallet or any browser wallet that supports BNB Chain. On a phone, the same wallets open through their own apps. Privacc only reads your public address — it cannot move your funds.

  2. 2

    Hold some BNB on BNB Chain for gas

    Every BNB Chain transaction is paid for in BNB, whatever token you are swapping, so a wallet with no BNB cannot buy ETH. The panel opens on BNB Chain; if your wallet is set to another network it will ask to switch.

  3. 3

    Check the token is ETH

    The panel is already set to ETH at the contract address on this page, so there is nothing to search for. If you pick it by hand, compare the address rather than the name — copies with the same symbol exist.

  4. 4

    Approve, then swap

    If you pay with a token rather than BNB, your wallet first asks you to approve the router to spend it. That is a separate transaction with its own gas fee, needed once per token. Then check the quote — the ETH you receive, the price impact and the fees — and sign the swap.

  5. 5

    Find it in your wallet

    The Binance-Peg Ethereum arrives in the wallet you signed from once the transaction confirms. If your wallet does not list it, add it as a custom token using the contract address on this page.

ETH contract address on BNB Chain

Token names and symbols on BNB Chain are not unique — anyone can deploy a contract called ETH. The address is the only thing that identifies the real one. Check it, never the name:

Common mistakes

  1. The ETH on BNB Chain cannot pay Ethereum gas or be used in Ethereum apps. Sending it to an exchange deposit address set to the Ethereum network, rather than BNB Chain, can lose it.

  2. A wallet with an ETH balance on BNB Chain still needs BNB for gas. The ETH here is a token, not the network's coin.

  3. Other tokens calling themselves ETH exist on BNB Chain. The address on this page is the Binance-Peg contract, and it is the only one that is.

Risks to understand

Nothing on this page is financial advice. Read how to spot a rug pull before buying anything smaller than this. This token is a wrapped or bridged asset — how wrapped and bridged tokens work explains what you are actually holding.

ETH questions

Is this real ether?

It is a token pegged to ether and backed by ETH that Binance holds. It tracks the price but lives on BNB Chain; ether on Ethereum is the same asset in a different place, without the dependency on Binance.

How do I move this ETH to Ethereum?

Through a bridge, or by depositing it to an exchange that accepts BNB Chain deposits and withdrawing on Ethereum. Swapping here keeps it on BNB Chain.

Why do some apps call it WETH?

Some token lists label it WETH or Binance-Peg Ethereum Token. Whatever the label, the contract address is what identifies it, and it is the one on this page.

Where can I buy ETH on BNB Chain?

On this page. Connect an EVM wallet with some BNB for gas, enter an amount and sign. The ETH goes straight to your wallet without passing through Privacc.

Do I need an account to buy ETH?

No. Privacc has no accounts and no sign-up because it never takes custody of your funds. You connect a wallet, sign a transaction, and the tokens go straight to you.

What does it cost to buy ETH on BNB Chain?

The BNB Chain network fee, paid in BNB; a one-off approval fee the first time you sell a given token; the price impact of the route; and any service fee. All of it is in the quote you see before you sign.

Market cap and supply are left out: the ETH contract on BNB Chain holds only the part of the supply that has been brought to this network, so its figures would describe that part rather than ETH as a whole.
