How to Deposit Crypto on KuCoin

Last updated: 10/17/2025 06:46:00

Deposits involve transferring your existing cryptocurrencies to the KuCoin platform. Begin by withdrawing the assets from their original source, and then deposit them into your KuCoin account. Deposits made within KuCoin are labeled as “Internal Transfers”, while deposits from external blockchains are trackable in detail on the blockchain. Currently, you can perform direct deposits to your Funding Account, Trading Account, Margin Account, Futures Account and Sub-Account.

2.Important Note

1）About token network

Choose the correct deposit network. The selected network must match the withdrawal platform's network. Otherwise, your funds may be lost and unrecoverable.
The available networks depend on the external withdrawal wallet or those supported by the platform. For example, if the external platform only supports ERC-20 networks, then you must choose the ERC-20 as your depositing blockchain.
Do not merely pursue the lowest transaction fee network on the withdrawal platform for withdrawals. Instead, choose one compatible with the deposit platform. For instance, ERC-20 tokens can only be sent to other ERC-20 addresses, and KCC tokens can only be sent to other KCC addresses. Incompatible or mismatched networks will result in the loss of your funds.

2）About contract address

All ERC-20 cryptocurrencies have their own unique contract address. This is essentially the identity code for the type of asset. Make sure the contract address of the asset you’re depositing matches the one listed on KuCoin.
Do not enter the contract address as the deposit address on the withdrawal platform. This will lead to the loss of your assets.

3) About MEMO/TAG

When withdrawing from your platform, certain networks require you to include additional information, such as a memo or tag. Make sure you include it to prevent losing your assets.

4) About the minimum deposit amount

To avoid asset loss, please deposit more than the minimum deposit amount required by KuCoin, as displayed on the page. You should also factor in the potential withdrawal fees from other platforms, which may cause the final deposit amount to be insufficient.

5) About early crediting feature

To improve your deposit experience, KuCoin now supports the early credit of certain assets once the minimum block confirmation requirements are met. Once you see the assets in your account, you can immediately trade or use them on our platform. Once there are enough block confirmations for the withdrawal, the deposited assets will be recognized by the exchange for your use.

6) About depsoit fee

Some currencies, such as BEP20-ETH and LUNC, incur a deposit fee. Please check the details on the deposit page.
The USDT transaction fees for each individual chain are calculated based on the net deposit amount (deposits minus withdrawals) over a period. If the net deposit exceeds the free quota, an excess fee of 0.1% is charged. It's advisable to check your remaining free quota before making a deposit.

7) Special Notes:

To ensure a smooth deposit, always check on KuCoin’s platform to see if the deposit function for the asset is active before sending any funds. Currency types and networks are periodically maintained and may undergo upgrades.
For any important deposit information, you’ll be alerted with on-page pop-ups or highlights.
