Shiba Inu, much like Dogecoin, started as a meme coin but quickly gained a massive following, earning the nickname "Dogecoin killer." With its growing popularity, many newcomers are eager to invest but unsure where to start. No worries—Cryptonary is here to guide you through the process.

In this guide, you'll learn:

  • Buy Shiba Inu on Binance
  • Buy Shiba Inu on Phantom Wallet
  • Buy Shiba Inu on Trust Wallet
Let's get started.

Buy Shiba Inu On Binance

The first step in learning how to buy Shiba Inu is to choose a crypto exchange.

Step 1: Select an Exchange

The main issue beginners face when buying Shiba Inu is finding the right exchange. Some exchanges don't offer this coin. To buy Shiba Inu, you must register on a cryptocurrency exchange that supports Shiba Inu trading. Here are some popular exchanges:
  • Binance
  • Coinbase
  • Kraken
  • Gemini
  • Robinhood
Ensure the exchange supports Shiba Inu in your region and review its fees and features. For this guide on how to buy Shiba Inu, we'll be using Binance.
  • Go to the app store and download the Binance app on your phone.

Step 2: Login to Your Account

Once the app is installed, the next step is to log in to your account.
  • We'll be using our Gmail account to log in quickly.

Note: To do any exchange or trading, you must have a verified account. To learn how to create and verify your Binance account, check out our guide on how to use Binance.

Step 3: Adding Funds to Your Account

Now that your account is ready, you need to have funds to buy Shiba Inu. There are usually several options to fund your account.

You can choose from the following options if you don't have any crypto assets.

  • Buy with GBP: You can add funds using a bank transfer or credit/debit card.
  • P2P Trading: You can buy directly from another user on the platform.
However, if you have crypto assets in your account, you can go with the:
  • Deposit Crypto: You can exchange other cryptocurrencies for GBP.
Before proceeding, make sure you are aware of deposit fees and transfer times.

For this step, we'll be adding USDT directly to your wallet using a credit/debit card. 

  • First, you need to open the Binance app and tap on the search bar.

  • Search for "Buy Crypto" and tap on it.

  • Make sure that the crypto you want to buy is set to USDT.
 

aligncenter size-full wp-image-303226

 

  • Enter the GBP you want to spend, select the payment method for the credit/debit card, and tap on the "Buy USDT" button.

Step 4: Buying Shiba Inu (SHIB)

Now that you have funds, the next step is to buy SHIB. You can either buy through a centralised or decentralised blockchain. We'll show you the procedure for both blockchains.

On A Centralised Blockchain Using Binance

Let's start the procedure for how to buy Shiba Inu on a centralised blockchain. The first step is to verify that you have USDT in your wallet.
  • Tap on the "Wallet" section in the bottom right corner of the screen.
 

4

 

  • Verify you have enough USDT to buy Shiba Inu.
 

5

 

  • Now, head on to the home page, search for "SHIB/USDT", and tap on it.
 

6

 

  • Tap on the "Buy" button for SHIB.

  • Add the amount of USDT you want to use for Shiba Inu and tap on the "Buy" button.
 

7

 

Note: Make sure that the USDT being used is more than 2; otherwise, you won't be able to buy SHIB.

Buy Shiba Inu On Phantom Wallet

Now, if you want to buy Shiba Inu using a decentralised blockchain, you should choose a hot wallet to swap USDT for Shiba Inu. To do this, you need to first install and set up a wallet on Phantom Wallet.
  • Download the "Phantom Wallet" app to your mobile phone.
 

aligncenter size-full wp-image-303135

 

  • Once downloaded, open the app and agree to the terms of service. After that, tap on the "Create a new wallet" button.
 

aligncenter size-full wp-image-303136

 

Note: If you already have an account, then simply tap on the "I already have a wallet" option.

  • Toggle the "Face ID" switch to on and tap the "Next" button.
 

aligncenter size-full wp-image-303137

 

  • Copy the recovery phrase and tap on the "OK, I saved it somewhere" button.
 

aligncenter size-full wp-image-303138

 

  • A pop-up will appear on the screen. Tap on "Yes" to continue.
 

aligncenter size-full wp-image-303139

 

  • Now, your account is ready. Just tap on the "Get Started" button.
 

aligncenter size-full wp-image-303140

 

Now that you set up the wallet, you need to add USDT to your Phantom Wallet.

  • First, open the CoinMarketCap app and look up the Shiba Inu coin.
 

aligncenter size-full wp-image-303228

 

Note: You can also check it through the CoinMarketCap website.

  • Go to the bottom of the page and tap on the "Contracts" option.
 

aligncenter size-full wp-image-303229

 

  • Check which blockchain this coin is available on.

  • Go back to the Binance app and tap on the "Withdraw" icon.
 

aligncenter size-full wp-image-303231

aligncenter size-full wp-image-303234

 

  • Now, go back to the Phantom Wallet app and tap on the Ethereum blockchain.
 

aligncenter size-full wp-image-303235

 

Note: The reason why we're choosing the Ethereum blockchain is because our coin is available on Ethereum.

  • Tap on the "Receive" icon.
 

aligncenter size-full wp-image-303236

 

  • Copy the address for the Ethereum blockchain.
 

aligncenter size-full wp-image-303237

 

  • Head back to the Binance app and paste the address.
 

aligncenter size-full wp-image-303238

 

  • Select the Ethereum blockchain.
 

aligncenter size-full wp-image-303239

 

  • Enter the amount of USDT you want to send and tap on the "Withdraw" button.
 

aligncenter size-full wp-image-303240

 

  • After that, tap on the "Confirm" button and complete the authentication process for both Email and the Authenticator App.
 

aligncenter size-full wp-image-303150

 

Once the verification process is complete, the USDT will be transferred to your Phantom Wallet. Now, you can start the process of swapping USDT for Shiba Inu.

  • Tap on the "Swap" icon.
 

aligncenter size-full wp-image-303241

 

  • Select "USDT" as the top coin and "SHIB" as the bottom coin.
 

aligncenter size-full wp-image-303242

 

Note: Make sure that the USDT is on the Ethereum blockchain. Copy the address for the Shiba Inu coin on the Ethereum blockchain from CoinMarketCap and paste it into the search bar for the bottom coin.

  • Enter the amount of USDT you want to spend for Shiba Inu.
 

aligncenter size-full wp-image-303243

 

  • To finalise the swap, tap on the "Review Order" button and then on the "Swap" button.
 

aligncenter size-full wp-image-303244

 

Note: Make sure that you have enough ETH to complete the swap.

After completing the entire process, the Shiba Inu coin will be available in your Phantom Wallet.

Conclusion

If you follow the entire procedure correctly, you'll see that Shiba Inu coins are now available in your wallet. If you want to keep these coins secure, then we recommend transferring them to a hot wallet like Argent Wallet.

Another thing to be cautious about is the volatility of the market. Always stay up-to-date on the trends when buying any type of token. So, if you want any sort of help in your crypto journey, then Cryptonary is here to guide you every step of the way.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I trust Cryptonary's calls?

Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.

Do I need to be an experienced trader or investor to benefit?

No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.

What makes Cryptonary different from free crypto content on YouTube or Twitter?

Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.

Why is there no trial or refund policy?

We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.

Do I get direct access to the Cryptonary team?

Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.

How often is content updated?

Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.

How does the 3X Value Guarantee work?

We stand behind the value of our research. If the documented upside from our published research during your 12-month membership does not exceed three times (3X) the annual subscription cost, you can request a full refund. Historical context: In every completed market cycle since 2017, cumulative documented upside has exceeded 10X this threshold.
