Halal crypto on Binance — read+spot-only API key flow with HalalCrypto bot
Binance is the world's largest crypto exchange by spot volume, with deep liquidity across hundreds of trading pairs and supports residents in nearly every jurisdiction we cover (with regional restrictions in some, including the US where Binance.US has narrower coverage). For halal traders, Binance's spot market is the primary venue — the futures, perpetuals, margin, and 'Earn' interest products are not used by our bot and should not be used by Shariah-conscious subscribers.
Our bot connects to your Binance account through a read+spot-only API key. This means: the bot can read balances and place spot buy/sell orders, but it cannot withdraw funds, transfer between accounts, or access derivative products. Withdrawal permission is never granted — the API key permission set is enforced at Binance's server, not at our application layer.
The Shariah position on Binance is straightforward: Binance is a halal-neutral venue. The exchange offers many products (some haram: futures, margin, lending) and many halal pairs (BTC/USDT spot, ETH/USDT spot, etc.). The Shariah verdict is on what you do on Binance, not on Binance itself. Our bot uses spot only.
Binance Shariah considerations
- ›Binance Earn, Binance Loans, and Binance Futures are not halal — interest-bearing or derivatives. Bot does not use any of them.
- ›Spot trading of screened halal coins is the only product we use.
- ›Binance's BNB token has utility-fee characteristics; spot BNB passes our gates with caveats.
- ›Binance's stablecoin lineup (BUSD historically, FDUSD) is screened individually; not all stables pass our framework.
API key setup — step by step
- 01Log into your Binance account → Profile → API Management.
- 02Click 'Create API' → choose 'System generated' → name the key 'HalalCrypto bot'.
- 03Complete 2FA verification.
- 04On the new key, set permissions: Enable 'Read Info' and 'Enable Spot & Margin Trading' (Spot only — do NOT enable Margin, Futures, or Withdrawal).
- 05Set IP restriction to our bot's IP (provided in your subscription dashboard).
- 06Copy API Key and Secret only through the approved provisioning path. The Secret is shown only once; if you lose it, regenerate.
- 07You can revoke the API key at any moment from Binance — the bot loses access instantly.
Why no withdrawal access
Binance API permissions are set at Binance's server. We literally cannot withdraw because the permission flag is OFF. Even if our infrastructure were compromised, the attacker could not transfer funds out of your Binance account through our API key. Custody never leaves your Binance account.
