How to Easily Transfer Crypto From Trust Wallet to Coinbase

Hey there! If you‘re like me, a crypto enthusiast who uses both Trust Wallet and Coinbase, you may need to move funds between the two platforms. Transferring crypto from Trust Wallet to Coinbase is a common task investors face.

In this step-by-step guide, I‘ll show you exactly how to send coins and tokens from Trust Wallet over to your Coinbase account quickly and easily. I‘ve done this process many times with success, so you can follow along knowing it works!

Why Transfer Crypto from Trust Wallet to Coinbase?

Before we dive into the how-to, let‘s first discuss some reasons you might need to make this type of transfer:

You want to cash out some of your holdings into fiat money, which requires selling on an exchange like Coinbase.
You need access to more trading pairs and liquidity only available on larger exchanges.
You want to stake certain assets only offered on Coinbase.
You need to manage your portfolio in one place for simplicity.
You require features only Coinbase provides, like FDIC insured USD balances, debit card, PayPal integration, or advanced trading tools.

Trust Wallet is great for securely holding different cryptocurrencies, but has limited exchange functionality. Coinbase offers a lot more options for actively managing your crypto portfolio.

Being able to easily transfer coins between the two gives you the best of both worlds!

Now that you know the core features of both platforms, let‘s get into the nitty gritty of how to transfer coins between them.

Step 1 – Get Coinbase Deposit Address

To initiate a transfer from Trust Wallet to Coinbase, you first need to get your relevant Coinbase deposit address.

Every supported crypto on Coinbase has its own deposit address. You MUST use the correct address – sending coins to the wrong type of address will result in permanent loss!

Here‘s how to find your Coinbase deposit address:

Log into your Coinbase account at coinbase.com.
Click on "Portfolios" near the top navigation.
From the list of assets, click on the specific coin you want to deposit. For example, if transferring Ethereum, click on Ethereum.
Under the chart, click the "Receive" button.
Your Ethereum deposit address will be displayed. Click "Copy Address" to copy it.
Paste this address in a notepad as you‘ll need it soon to withdraw from Trust Wallet.
Make absolutely sure this is the correct address for the coin you want to deposit. Sending to addresses of other coin types will lead to permanent loss of your crypto.

Repeat this process to get the deposit address for each currency you need to transfer from Trust Wallet.

Step 2 – Initiate Withdrawal in Trust Wallet

Now that you have your Coinbase deposit address handy, it‘s time to initiate the withdrawal from Trust Wallet.

Open the Trust Wallet mobile app and log in with your PIN or biometric login.
Tap on the specific coin you want to withdraw.
Tap the "Send" button.
Paste the Coinbase deposit address you copied earlier into the "Recipient Address" field.
Enter the amount you want to withdraw and send to Coinbase. You can select Max to empty your entire balance.
Tap Next and verify ALL the transaction details before confirming.
Confirm the withdrawal with your PIN or biometric authentication.
You will see a message confirming your withdrawal was broadcast to the network.

I always triple check the address and amount before hitting withdraw in Trust Wallet. It‘s better to be safe than lose funds!

Once you confirm the transaction, it cannot be reversed.

Step 3 – Let the Transfer Complete

Okay, you‘ve initiated the crypto withdrawal from Trust Wallet to your Coinbase account. Now just wait a few minutes for the transfer to complete.

The time it takes depends on the currency and network conditions:

Bitcoin/Litecoin: 30-60 mins
Ethereum/ERC20 tokens: 5-20 mins
XLM/XRP/ALGO: 1-10 mins
BNB Smart Chain: <5 mins

Do NOT delete or uninstall Trust Wallet after sending, as your wallet needs to remain active to sign and broadcast the transaction.

Keep an eye on the receiving address through a blockchain explorer to monitor the transfer status. Once enough network confirmations have occurred, the funds will show up in your Coinbase account.

You may need to refresh your portfolio balances page in Coinbase to see the updated deposit amount. Don‘t worry if it doesn‘t show immediately. As long as the explorer shows the transaction completed, the funds are safe and it‘s just a display issue in Coinbase that will resolve shortly.

Celebrate once you see the transferred crypto in your Coinbase wallet! Enjoy having your coins in one place and able to trade effortlessly.

Tips for Transferring Between Trust Wallet and Coinbase

Here are some pro tips from my experience moving assets between Trust Wallet and Coinbase:

Always send a small test transaction first when transferring to a new address to confirm you did it correctly. No need to risk big sums unnecessarily!
Bookmark the deposit addresses for reuse. No need to look them up each time.
Double check you have the correct Coinbase deposit address for that specific coin before initiating the withdrawal from Trust Wallet. Triple check even!
Use QR codes to quickly scan and enter the addresses. Prevent copy/paste errors.
Be aware of withdrawal fees charged by Trust Wallet and deposit fees from Coinbase. Factor these into the amount you send.
Withdrawals from Coinbase have daily limits unless you verify higher levels. This is for security.
Make sure both platforms support the cryptocurrency you want to send. Some obscure coins may not transfer directly between Coinbase and Trust Wallet.
View the status of transfers on a blockchain explorer if it seems to be taking too long to arrive.
Start with transferring small amounts you are comfortable losing access to during the process before moving larger sums.

And those are some tips from my experience to make the transfer process smooth as butter!

Why Your Trust Wallet to Coinbase Transfer Isn‘t Working

In most cases transfers between Trust Wallet and Coinbase complete successfully. But sometimes deposits may fail or get stuck. Here are some troubleshooting tips if you encounter issues:

Did you use the correct Coinbase deposit address? Make absolutely sure the address matches the expected cryptocurrency. Wrong addresses lead to lost funds.
Is the crypto you‘re sending supported on both platforms? Coins like BNB may need an extra swap step to convert them before depositing to Coinbase.
Are you exceeding deposit size limits? Coinbase may restrict deposits over a certain dollar value. Check their support page for details.
Did you include a memo or payment ID (for XRP, XLM, etc)? Some coins require additional info when depositing.
Is there network congestion or maintenance? Sometimes delays happen when traffic is high. Avoid peak times if possible.
Have you confirmed sufficient blockchain confirmations? Deposits require a certain number of confirmations to complete (ex: 3 for BTC).
Are you using the latest app versions? Outdated software can cause glitches. Update to current releases.
Has enough time passed? Give it at least 1-2 hours before worrying the funds are lost forever.
Did you submit a support ticket? The Coinbase or Trust Wallet team can look into stuck transfers and recover your crypto in many cases. Don‘t panic!

As long as you used the right deposit address on Coinbase, and the transaction completed successfully on the network, you just need to wait it out and your funds will credit eventually. Contact customer support if not received after 2 hours.
