# How to get rid of "Crypto dust" on Spot?

## **What is "Crypto Dust"?**

Crypto dust refers to **small leftover amounts of coins** resulting from spot trading. These amounts are usually **too small to be sold** in the usual way because they fall below the **minimum lot size** set by the exchange.

In this article, we will explain why crypto dust appears in your wallet and what you can do about it.

## **Why does crypto dust appear in a spot wallet?**

Crypto dust can accumulate due to two main factors:

1. **Trading Fees in Base Currency**
   * When buying a spot asset, trading fees are deducted in the **base currency** (in lots).
   * As a result, the final **position size** is slightly smaller than the original purchase order.
2. **Minimum Lot Size Restrictions**
   * Each exchange sets a **minimum lot size** for every trading pair.
   * If you try to place an order **below this minimum**, the exchange **will reject it**.
   * You can check the **minimum lot sizes** for Binance [here](https://www.binance.com/en/trade-rule) and for Bybit [here](https://www.bybit.com/en/announcement-info/spot-trading-rules/).

Combining these two factors means that **not all of your assets can be sold** due to their reduced size and lot limitations.

## How to convert crypto dust to USDT or other coins?

**For Binance via Tiger.com Broker there** is an option to **"Convert Small Balance to BNB."** When it is enabled, all spot assets **smaller than 0.0012 BTC** will be **automatically converted to BNB every 6 hours:**

{% hint style="info" %}
You can either: accumulate converted **BNB** until you reach the **minimum lot size** for selling or sse BNB to **pay for trading fees** on Binance, which offers additional **fee discounts**. More details about this feature can be found [here](https://broker-docs.tiger.com/english-2/frequently-asked-questions/how-to-save-even-more-on-fees-using-bnb-token-burning).&#x20;
{% endhint %}

Additionally, on the **Wallet (Binance) - Spot** page, you can convert **any spot assets** into another asset (including **stablecoins**):

The **conversion is fee-free** and occurs at the **current market rate:**

You can check your **conversion history** on the [**History - Conversion History** page.](https://account.tiger.com/history/convert)

This functionality is not yet available on **Bybit**.

* You can only sell an asset if it **meets or exceeds the minimum lot size** set by the exchange.
* If your balance is below the **minimum lot size**, you can **hide** such small balances by enabling the **corresponding option** in your settings:
