Withdrawing cryptocurrencies refers to transferring digital assets from your OKX account to another exchange or wallet through on-chain withdrawals or internal transfers.
Step-by-Step Withdrawal Process
1. Access the Withdrawal Page
- Log in to your OKX account.
- Click "Assets" > "Withdraw" at the top-right corner.
2. Select Currency and Method
- Choose the cryptocurrency (e.g., BTC).
Select withdrawal method:
- On-chain withdrawal: For external wallets/exchanges.
- Internal transfer: For OKX-registered accounts (faster, fee-free).
3. Enter Withdrawal Details
Fill in:
- Address: Recipient wallet/exchange address.
- Network: Must match the recipient’s supported chain (e.g., BTC-Bitcoin, USDT-ERC20).
- Amount and Fee (adjust for faster processing).
⚠️ Critical Note:
- Double-check the network compatibility with the recipient’s platform to avoid permanent loss.
4. Complete Security Verification
- Enter email/SMS verification codes.
- Click "Confirm".
5. Internal Transfer (Optional)
If sending to another OKX user:
- Enter recipient’s UID, email, phone number, or sub-account.
- No fees, instant arrival.
6. Memo/Tag Requirement (For Certain Coins)
- Coins like XRP require both an address and a Memo/Tag (e.g., a numeric string).
- Omission may result in failed transactions.
Key Withdrawal Considerations
✅ Security Checks
- Verify the currency and contract address match the recipient’s platform.
- Ensure the network/chain (e.g., ERC20 vs. TRC20 for USDT) is correct.
⚠️ Fees and Limits
- Network fees: Paid to blockchain miners (not OKX). Higher fees = faster processing.
- Minimum withdrawal amounts: Displayed on the withdrawal page; transactions below this limit are blocked.
🔄 Withdrawal Status Updates
- Pending: Request submitted; processing may delay during high traffic.
- Manual Review: Requires OKX support verification (phone call possible).
- Processing: Assets are being transferred—irreversible once initiated.
- Success: Confirmed via blockchain explorer (viewable under "Withdrawal History").
