Exchange transfers are operational trades, not just wallet clicks. Coinbase?s education pages explain the basic send-and-receive workflow, while Kraken?s support page shows that crypto deposits require choosing the asset, selecting the correct network where applicable, and using the displayed deposit address. Binance?s deposit guidance similarly emphasizes matching the network used by the sending wallet and the receiving exchange.
The key risk is that many assets share tickers across networks. USDT may move on several chains; some coins require a memo, tag or destination tag; and some exchanges rotate deposit addresses. A copied address is not enough if the network field is wrong. For larger transfers, a small test transaction is usually cheaper than trying to recover a mistaken deposit.
A practical checklist: confirm the exact asset ticker and chain, check whether a memo or tag is required, compare the first and last characters of the address, review withdrawal fees and minimum deposit rules, send a test amount, and only then send the balance. Traders moving funds for arbitrage or margin should also leave time for confirmations; a delayed deposit can turn a good spread into a liquidation risk.
