Crypto deposits are quite different from fiat deposits, as they happen on a blockchain. Keep in mind some key points to smoothly deposit crypto to CEX.IO.

If you use an address for the wrong currency, the transaction will not reach its destination and you won’t be able to restore your funds. For example, BCH cannot be credited to a BTC wallet just as Ethereum-based tokens may be lost when sent to an ETH wallet.

Don’t forget to check how many confirmations are needed for every cryptocurrency transaction to reach your CEX.IO wallet.

Here are some useful tips on depositing particular cryptocurrencies to CEX.IO:

Before making a BCH deposit to CEX.IO, make sure your sending wallet supports transactions to CashAddrr addresses. If your wallet doesn’t support them, you can use the Legacy format. Just click the Old address button on the CEX.IO Deposit page.

Your LTC address on CEX.IO has a P2SH format (starting with M)*. However, some crypto platforms still don’t support transactions to these new addresses. In this case, you can simply use the LTC address converter and use an old (3-prefixed) format for your wallet address.

* Litecoin addresses have similar formats to BTC addresses. In order to resolve confusion, the Litecoin community developed a new format for wallets (P2SH) that are prefixed with M. Such wallets work in the Litecoin network only and are not valid for Bitcoin.

CEX.IO supports the Ethereum-based and Tron-based versions of the USDT tokens. Attempting to deposit Bitcoin-based (issued via the Omni Layer Protocol) to CEX.IO will cause a failed deposit and loss of funds.

Please note that all USDT ERC-20 wallets begin with 0x.

There are two types of DASH wallet addresses. One is the general wallet address starting with x. The other is the multi-signature address starting with 7.

Keep in mind that CEX.IO only works with multi-signature Dash wallets. While many other platforms prefer standard wallets, we use multi-sig wallets to ensure the security of your funds.

Stellar wallets have a special Memo ID or text. When sending XLM to your CEX.IO account, make sure to include the correct Memo ID. An incorrect or missing Memo ID can result in a processing delay or missing funds.

Some Stellar wallets need to be activated with an initial deposit. This is not necessary for your CEX.IO wallet, however.

When depositing XRP to CEX.IO, a Destination tag is required to associate your transaction with your account. You can find this tag on the Deposit page together with your deposit address.

If you forget the tag, it will be difficult to restore your funds. In case you enter the wrong tag, your funds will be sent to another recipient.

Every ATOM wallet has a special Memo ID that you need to include when making a deposit to CEX.IO

You can find your personal Memo ID together with your ATOM wallet address on the Deposit page. Please note that a missing or incorrect Memo ID may lead to a loss of funds.

Unlike most cryptocurrencies, NEO does not have decimal places. When sending NEO to your CEX.IO account, use only whole numbers.

If you send amounts with decimal values, you’ll lose the fractional portion of your transaction. For example, when you enter 2.04 as your deposit amount, you’ll receive only 2 NEO on your CEX.IO balance. The remaining 0.04 NEO will be charged from your sending wallet and left in the network.

CEX.IO does not support the Ethereum-based version of the TRON token. Please make sure you’re using a TRC-20/TRC-10 compatible wallet to make a deposit to CEX.IO. Attempting to deposit Ethereum-based (ERC-20) TRX to a CEX.IO wallet may cause a failed transaction and loss of funds.

Note that all TRX ERC-20 wallets begin with 0x, while TRC-10/TRC-20 wallets start with T.

Your CEX.IO XTZ wallet has an implicit account address (that starts with TZ). This wallet is used for baking and doesn’t support smart contract transactions (or delegation). There is another format of XTZ wallet that’s designed for delegating (smart contracts) and that starts with KT. Transactions between wallets of different formats are not supported, so make sure you’re sending funds from a TZ wallet.

KAVA wallets have a special Memo ID. To send KAVA to your CEX.IO account you should include the correct Memo ID. An incorrect or missing Memo ID can result in a processing delay or missing funds.

To deposit Ever to CEX.IO, a Memo ID is required. You can find the Memo ID on the Deposit page together with your deposit address.

Mind that a missing or incorrect Memo ID may lead to a loss of funds.

If your deposit gets enough confirmations but still is not credited to your CEX.IO balance, contact our Support Team via chat. To check all the details of your operation, we’ll ask you to provide:
