You must verify the withdrawal network supported by your exchange or wallet before transferring funds.

Self-custody and withdrawal risks

Deposit and withdrawal support for the listed routes is not verified. Account features and KYC requirements vary by country.

Some users make the mistake of assuming every exchange supports the same network for deposits and withdrawals. You should check withdrawal limits and KYC rules before you open an account.
