Depositing refers to transferring digital assets from a wallet or another platform's account to your OKEx account. If you need to deposit assets from another exchange to OKEx, follow these step-by-step instructions.
Step-by-Step Deposit Guide
1. Access the Deposit Page
- Log in to your OKEx account.
- Navigate to the top-right corner of the homepage and click [Asset Management] → [Deposit].
- Select the cryptocurrency you wish to deposit (e.g., BTC).
- Choose the deposit network (e.g., BTC-Bitcoin).
- Click [Next].
2. Copy Your Deposit Address
- Select your account type (e.g., funding or trading account).
- Copy the deposit address provided or scan the QR code.
3. Withdraw from the Other Platform
- Go to the withdrawal page of the other platform.
- Select the same cryptocurrency (e.g., BTC).
- Paste the OKEx deposit address (or scan the QR code).
- Critical: Ensure the withdrawal network matches OKEx’s deposit network (e.g., BTC-Bitcoin). Mismatched networks will cause loss of funds.
- Enter the withdrawal amount and click [Withdraw].
Key Considerations
✅ Confirmation Delays: Deposits require blockchain confirmations and may take time to reflect.
✅ Network Consistency: Always match the deposit and withdrawal networks (e.g., TRC20 to TRC20).
❌ Address Errors: Double-check the address and cryptocurrency type. Sending LTC to a BTC address will result in permanent loss.
🔖 Memo/Tag Requirement: Some coins (e.g., XRP) require a memo/tag. Incorrect tags will prevent crediting.
