Are you looking to transfer your cryptocurrency from your Kraken account to your Coinbase wallet? If so, you'll be glad to know that the process is fairly easy. Though there are around five steps involved, the entire process is straightforward and easy to understand. For this, you will need to obtain a wallet address from Coinbase. This wallet address is a unique identifier that connects your Coinbase account to your Kraken account.
In this article, we'll walk you through the steps to transferring your cryptocurrency from your Kraken account to your Coinbase wallet, so below is a step-by-step guide.
The step-by-step guide
The first step is to add and confirm the withdrawal address. This is done to make sure that your funds are sent to the correct address and that they are secure. Once the address is added and confirmed, you're ready to begin the withdrawal process.
To withdraw from your Kraken account to your Coinbase wallet, follow these steps:
1- Sign in to your Kraken account and navigate to the "Funding" section.
2- Click the "Withdraw" button.
3- Search for the currency you wish to withdraw and then click on it.
4- Select a previously added address or click the "Add Address" button to add and confirm a new one.
5- Enter the amount you would like to withdraw in the "Amount" field or click the percent of your account balance in that specific currency. Make sure the amount is greater than the minimum listed directly under this field and click "Withdraw".
How long will it take exactly?
Once you have completed these steps, your funds will be transferred securely and quickly. Keep in mind that depending on the cryptocurrency you're withdrawing; the withdrawal may take some time to process.
Depending on the network and the coin you chose, the time required can range from as little as 5 minutes to as much as 35 minutes. Even the fastest transfers need to be confirmed by the receiving exchange, such as Kraken, before they can be credited to your Coinbase account.
It is important to note that transfers between exchanges are never as fast as sending from one wallet to another. This is because when you are sending from one wallet to another, the transaction occurs on the same blockchain. However, when you are transferring from one exchange to another, the process requires more steps.
First, the sender's exchange must send the cryptocurrency to the receiving exchange's wallet address. The exchanges then need to confirm that the transfer has been completed. Once the receiving exchange has confirmed the transfer, the cryptocurrency is credited to the recipient's account. The whole process requires more time than sending from one wallet to another.
