Hey, crypto fam!
In this video we’ll learn how to transfer crypto from Coinbase to Exodus.
The main difference between Coinbase and Exodus is that Coinbase is a custodial platform and
Exodus is a self-custody wallet.
If you’ve heard the phrase, “not your keys, not your crypto” this refers to custodial
platforms like Coinbase and Binance.
With Exodus, however, your crypto is truly yours.
You are in full control of your funds because you, and only you, hold the private keys.
If you don't have an Exodus wallet yet, click the link in the top right to download or visit Exodus.com.
Let’s start by moving crypto to the Web3 wallet for Chrome and Brave, followed by Exodus
mobile for iOS and Android, and then the Exodus desktop wallet.
To move crypto into your Exodus web3 wallet, sign in to your Coinbase account and click
“My Assets”.
In this tutorial, we’re going to use Ethereum, but the process is the same for any asset
you choose that the Web3 wallet supports.
Next, click Ethereum and then the wallet tab to access the Coinbase ETH wallet.
Once you’re in the Coinbase Ethereum wallet, click Send
To get your ETH address from Exodus, open Exodus, click the Wallet icon, then use the
arrows to navigate to your ETH wallet.
Select “Receive” and then choose Ethereum.
Click the Copy icon to copy your ETH address.
Go back to Coinbase and paste the address in the “to” box making sure that your
Exodus ETH wallet address and the address you pasted match.
Enter how much ETH you want to send from Coinbase to Exodus.
You can enter the amount in USD (or whatever your local currency is) or in ETH.
You can enter a note for future reference if you’d like, but this will only display
in Coinbase.
Click Continue.
A confirmation screen will appear with all the transaction details, Make sure everything
looks okay
Click Send Now
if you have two-factor authentication (2FA) setup, enter your 2-step verification code
to send the transaction
If you’re sending an asset that uses multiple networks, USDC for example, you will need
to make sure you have the same networks selected in both Coinbase and Exodus.
In all Exodus Wallets, you can identify the network by the Network badge next to the asset.
The USDC token lives on multiple networks.
In this example, we’re looking at USDC on the Solana network.
In coinbase select “send” from the menu and then choose USDC, enter the amount you
would like to send, then open Exodus, click on your USDC wallet, Then chose USDC/ Solana
,click on the receive arrow and copy your USDC/ SOL address.
Go back to coinbase and paste the SOL address into the “to” field.Click continue.
When you see a confirmation screen, select the Solana in the Network Field, you might
see a few pop-ups warning you to double check you are sending to the right network.
Review the transaction details and if everything looks OK, click send now.
