Deposit BTC from Binance and Coinbase to XORA (2026)

By XORA · Published · Updated

Withdraw native Layer-1 BTC from Binance or Coinbase to XORA (not BNB BTCB, Base cbBTC, or Lightning) with no memo, a small BTC test, and up to 14% APY.

Short answer

To deposit Bitcoin (BTC) from Binance or Coinbase.com (including Coinbase Advanced) into XORA, open /app#deposit-btc and copy your dedicated per-account native Bitcoin deposit address (zero memo or destination tag required). Redeem any BTC from Binance Simple Earn into your Spot Wallet or wait for Coinbase ACH bank holds to clear, pick the native Layer-1 'Bitcoin' network (never BNB Smart Chain BTCB, Base cbBTC, or Lightning), and send a small on-chain BTC test transfer first (~10-30 minutes confirmation). Where enabled, XORA credits up to 14% variable BTC APY value with $0 XORA deposit fee. Rates are variable and not guaranteed; XORA is custodial, not a bank, and not FDIC or SIPC insured.

Binance BTC network dropdown: Bitcoin / SegWit vs BEP-20 and Lightning

When withdrawing BTC from Binance (Spot Wallet -> Withdraw -> BTC), Binance displays multiple networks including 'BTC - Bitcoin', 'BTC (SegWit)', 'LIGHTNING', 'BNB Smart Chain (BEP20)', and 'Ethereum (ERC20)'. Select native 'BTC - Bitcoin' or 'BTC (SegWit)' so Binance broadcasts a true Layer-1 Bitcoin UTXO to your XORA bc1... address. Never choose BEP-20 (0x... wrapped BTCB), ERC-20, or Lightning (XORA's /app#deposit-btc rail is on-chain Layer-1 Bitcoin). If your BTC is parked in Binance Simple Earn Flexible, redeem it to Spot Wallet first.

Coinbase & Coinbase Advanced: Bitcoin network vs Base cbBTC and ACH holds

On Coinbase.com or Coinbase Advanced, click Send crypto -> Bitcoin, paste your XORA bc1... address from /app#deposit-btc, and verify the selected network says 'Bitcoin' rather than 'Base' or 'Ethereum' (Coinbase automatically wraps BTC into ERC-20 cbBTC whenever Base or Ethereum is chosen, which cannot be sent to a bc1... address). If your available send balance is lower than your total BTC balance, check whether recent US ACH or SEPA bank purchases still have a 3-7 business day settlement hold.

Zero memo required and exchange address allowlist security

XORA assigns a dedicated per-account Layer-1 Bitcoin deposit address at /app#deposit-btc, so Bitcoin deposits require no memo, message, or destination tag. If you enabled Binance Withdrawal Whitelist or Coinbase Address Book Allowlisting, save your XORA bc1... address first and complete any security cooldown + passkey/2FA check before initiating your withdrawal.

Small Layer-1 BTC test send (~10-30 min) and custodial rate disclosures

Send a small Layer-1 BTC test withdrawal above the exchange minimum first, copy the 64-character Bitcoin TXID onto mempool.space, and confirm credit in XORA (~1-3 Bitcoin blocks, roughly 10-30 minutes) before transferring larger BTC balances. Where enabled, XORA quotes up to 14% variable BTC APY value with daily compounding and $0 XORA deposit fee. Rates are variable and not guaranteed; XORA is custodial, not a bank, and not FDIC or SIPC insured.

  3. Paste your XORA Bitcoin address and verify the first and last 6 characters match /app#deposit-btc.
  4. Confirm the withdrawal network is native Layer-1 Bitcoin (never Base cbBTC, BNB Smart Chain BEP20, ERC20, or Lightning).
  5. Submit a small on-chain BTC test withdrawal first using your passkey or authenticator 2FA.
  6. Track the TXID on mempool.space (~10-30 minutes), confirm the BTC test credits in XORA, then transfer your remaining balance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should I pick 'BTC - Bitcoin' or 'BTC (SegWit)' on Binance when withdrawing to XORA?

Both 'BTC - Bitcoin' and 'BTC (SegWit)' settle on native Layer-1 Bitcoin mainnet; when pasting a XORA bc1... Bech32 address, Binance routes over native Bitcoin mainnet. Never pick BNB Smart Chain (BEP20), ERC20, or Lightning.

Why did Coinbase mention cbBTC on Base when I tried to send Bitcoin?

Coinbase supports sending wrapped cbBTC over Base and Ethereum to 0x... addresses, whereas XORA's /app#deposit-btc address is a native Layer-1 Bitcoin bc1... address. Always keep the network set to 'Bitcoin'.

Can I withdraw BTC from Binance or Coinbase over the Lightning Network to XORA?

No. XORA's /app#deposit-btc deposit rail accepts on-chain Layer-1 Bitcoin transactions to your dedicated Bitcoin address, not BOLT-11 Lightning invoices.

Do I need a Memo or Destination Tag for BTC withdrawals from Binance or Coinbase?

No. Your XORA Bitcoin deposit address is unique to your account, so Layer-1 BTC transfers attribute automatically without any memo.
