Withdraw crypto from an exchange to FxWallet

To move crypto from an exchange to FxWallet, copy your address from Receive in FxWallet, then withdraw to it on the same network. The network is the step people get wrong: crypto sent on a network you didn't pick may not arrive.

Before you start

• Get some of the native coin too, such as BNB on BNB Chain or TRX on Tron. Every transaction pays its fee in it, so without it you can't send or swap your USDT. See Not enough gas for a transaction.
• Planning to swap? Swap doesn't support every network, Tron included. Withdraw on BNB Chain or Ethereum instead.
• Minimums. Your test amount must be at least the exchange's minimum withdrawal. Some networks also need a minimum balance, such as 1 XRP for a new address. See Network rules FAQ.
• Private wallet. If the exchange asks whether the address belongs to an exchange or a private wallet, choose private wallet (or self-custody): FxWallet is one. It may also ask you to confirm with a code, or to save the address first.

Withdraw to FxWallet

1. In FxWallet, on the Wallet tab, tap Receive, search for the coin, and pick it on a network the exchange offers. Copy the address.

2. On the exchange, start a withdrawal of the same coin and paste the address. Check that it matches the address in FxWallet: malware can change a copied address.

3. Choose the network that matches the one you picked in FxWallet. See Match the network.

   danger

   Pick the network by its name. EVM networks such as Ethereum, BNB Chain and Arbitrum share one address, so the exchange accepts it on any of them without a warning.

4. If the form has a memo or tag field, leave it empty: FxWallet doesn't need one.

5. Withdraw a small amount first. When it shows up in FxWallet, withdraw the rest.

Other choices

• opBNB isn't BNB Smart Chain. Binance offers USDT and BNB on both, and opBNB uses the same address. Crypto withdrawn on opBNB arrives on opBNB, a separate network in FxWallet, not on BNB. See It went to your own address on another EVM network.
• Exchanges also offer coins as tokens on other networks. BTC withdrawn on BNB Smart Chain, for example, arrives as a token on BNB Chain, not as bitcoin. FxWallet doesn't support the Lightning Network.
• Exchanges rename and remove networks. If a name isn't listed, look for the network's name, such as TRC20 or Tron, or pick another network in FxWallet.

After you withdraw

How long it takes depends on the exchange and the network. The exchange may review the withdrawal before it sends it. Once it's sent, a transfer on BNB Chain, Ethereum or Tron usually shows up in FxWallet within a few minutes, and one on Bitcoin can take an hour or more. Your withdrawal history on the exchange shows the status and, once it's sent, the transaction hash (TXID).

• Picked the wrong network? Your crypto is often still yours. See I sent crypto on the wrong network.
