(A universal teaching template for new users purchasing Bitcoin BTC, Ethereum ETH... using WEEX exchange as an example)
In the world of cryptocurrency, the first transaction often marks the true beginning of a user's entry. Whether you are considering asset allocation or hoping to explore the Web3 world, the process from platform selection to completing the first order is not as complex as imagined. This article will use the WEEX exchange as an example, guiding you step by step through registration, deposit, and order placement to lay a solid foundation for your trading journey.
Step 1: Register an Account and Open the Door to Trading
Almost all cryptocurrency trading platforms require real-name registration, and WEEX is no exception. Users can register an account using their phone number, email, etc., and set a password and security verification.
Tip: Be sure to verify the platform's domain. The official website for WEEX is weex.com to avoid entering phishing sites.
Using WEEX as an example, after registration, users will enter the Security Center, where they can enable Google verification, set a fund password, and enhance security. The platform supports both web and mobile APP operations, and it is recommended to download and install the official APP for smoother subsequent operations.

Step 2: Complete KYC Identity Verification
KYC (Know Your Customer) verification is a compliance requirement for mainstream trading platforms. WEEX supports two levels of KYC certification, corresponding to different deposit and trading limits.
Uploading identity documents and facial recognition typically takes only a few minutes to complete the review. After certification, you can enable functions such as fiat currency deposit and withdrawal.
Step 3: Deposit Assets and Prepare to Place an Order
WEEX supports multiple asset deposit methods:
• On-chain deposit: Transfer from other wallets or platforms to your WEEX address. Supports mainstream cryptocurrencies like USDT, BTC, ETH, etc. It is recommended to choose different networks such as ERC20, TRC20, or BEP20 based on your assets.
• Third-party fiat payment channel (applicable in some countries/regions): If users wish to purchase USDT using a bank card or payment tool, they can exchange through partner merchants.
After the deposit is received, you can check the balance in the asset center or transfer assets to the corresponding trading account (such as spot or contract account).
Step 4: First Order, Experience the Matching System
Taking spot trading as an example, after entering the trading page, users can select a trading pair (e.g., BTC/USDT), order type (market/limit), enter buy/sell quantity, and submit the order after confirmation.
WEEX supports:
• High-speed matching system with quick order execution
• Real-time K-line charts to assist users in market judgment
• Concise interface compatible with mobile devices for smooth trading experience
Additionally, contract users can experience one-click take-profit and stop-loss, copy trading, and other tools to lower the threshold for strategy execution.


Step 5: Asset Management and Security Tips
After trading, users can check asset details, transaction records, profit and loss information, etc. in the asset center at any time. To enhance fund security, it is recommended to:
• Enable Google Authenticator (2FA)
• Set withdrawal whitelist addresses
• Regularly change login passwords
• Do not disclose platform login information to others
WEEX provides multiple security guarantees, including a 1000 BTC user protection fund, platform-level risk control system, and intelligent risk control model to provide comprehensive security support for user assets.
The First Transaction is Just the Beginning
Completing the first transaction is the first step into the cryptocurrency market. Subsequently, users can explore more product forms such as cryptocurrency exchange, contract leverage, pledge financing, asset copy trading, etc. Each step requires a clearer understanding of "platform functions" and "personal risk appetite".
