Step-by-Step Withdrawal Guide
1. Transfer to Funding Account
- Open the OKX app and navigate to "Assets."
- Select "Transfer" to move coins from your trading account to your funding account.
2. Initiate Withdrawal
- Tap "Withdraw" under the funding account section.
Choose between:
- Regular Withdrawal: For external wallets/non-OKX addresses
- Internal Transfer: For OKX or partner exchange accounts (fee-free)
3. Enter Withdrawal Details
For regular withdrawals:
- Select cryptocurrency (e.g., BTC)
- Paste the recipient wallet address
- Specify amount and confirm network fees
- Double-check all details before submission
For internal transfers:
- Select destination platform (OKX or partner exchange)
- Enter recipient username/email
- Input amount and submit
Key Considerations
Network Selection
- USDT requires chain selection (OMNI/ERC20/TRC20) - must match recipient's chain
- Other coins typically use their native networks
- Example: BTC withdrawals use Bitcoin network only
Special Requirements
Some assets need additional identifiers:
- Memo/Tag: Required for XRP, XLM, etc.
- Payment ID: Needed for Monero (XMR)
👉 Secure your crypto transactions with proper address validation.
