How to receive crypto into your Coinbase account?
Always use the correct network when sending crypto to Coinbase—mismatched networks can lead to permanent fund loss.
Sep 17, 2025 at 12:54 pm

Linking Your Coinbase Account to External Wallets
1. Log in to your Coinbase account through the official website or mobile application to begin the process of receiving cryptocurrency. Ensure your login credentials are secure and two-factor authentication is enabled for added protection.
2. Navigate to the 'Accounts' or 'Wallets' section, where you can view all supported cryptocurrencies. Select the specific digital asset you wish to receive, such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, or any other available token.
3. Click on the 'Receive' button associated with the selected cryptocurrency. This action generates a unique deposit address tied to your Coinbase wallet for that particular blockchain.
4. Verify the network type before sharing your address. For instance, if receiving USDT, confirm whether the sender will use the Ethereum (ERC-20), TRON (TRC-20), or another supported network, as mismatched networks can result in permanent fund loss.
5. Share the generated address or QR code with the sender. You may copy the address directly or display the QR code for scanning. Always double-check the first and last few characters when pasting to prevent man-in-the-middle attacks.
Understanding Deposit Addresses and Network Compatibility
1. Each cryptocurrency on Coinbase operates on its native blockchain, meaning Bitcoin uses the Bitcoin network, Ethereum uses the Ethereum network, and so forth. Deposits must align with the correct network to be credited properly.
2. When receiving stablecoins like USDC or DAI, ensure the transaction occurs on the Ethereum or Polygon network as supported by Coinbase. Sending these tokens via unsupported networks will lead to irreversible loss.
3. Never send cryptocurrency from a hardware wallet or external exchange without confirming network compatibility with Coinbase’s deposit requirements. Misrouted transactions due to incorrect network selection are not recoverable through Coinbase support.
4. Some assets have multiple address formats. For example, Bitcoin may use bech32 (starting with bc1), legacy (starting with 1), or P2SH (starting with 3). Coinbase automatically assigns the appropriate format; users should not alter it.
5. Monitor the blockchain explorer using the transaction ID (TXID) to verify confirmation status. Most deposits require several confirmations before appearing in your Coinbase balance.
Security Measures During Crypto Receipt
1. Avoid reusing deposit addresses for multiple transactions. While Coinbase may allow this, generating a new address per transaction enhances privacy and reduces tracking risks.
2. Enable email and push notifications within your Coinbase settings to receive instant alerts whenever a deposit is initiated or confirmed.
3. Refrain from sharing your deposit address publicly on forums, social media, or unsecured platforms to minimize the risk of phishing or scam attempts.
4. Regularly review your account activity log to detect any unauthorized access or suspicious transactions immediately after receiving funds.
5. Use a trusted device and secure internet connection when managing deposits. Public Wi-Fi networks increase vulnerability to address-swapping malware that alters clipboard content.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I receive cryptocurrency from a non-Coinbase wallet?Yes, you can receive crypto from any external wallet as long as the sender uses the correct deposit address and compatible blockchain network provided by Coinbase.
What happens if I send crypto to the wrong network on Coinbase?If a transaction is sent via an unsupported network, the funds may not appear in your account and could be permanently lost. Coinbase cannot recover assets sent over incorrect networks.
How long does it take for received crypto to show up in my Coinbase account?Processing time depends on the blockchain’s congestion and confirmation requirements. Bitcoin may take 10 minutes to over an hour, while Ethereum transactions typically confirm within minutes under normal conditions.
Does Coinbase provide a single address for all cryptocurrencies?No, each cryptocurrency has a unique deposit address. Using one asset’s address for another will result in loss of funds. Always select the correct asset before initiating a deposit.
