How to send Crypto to MetaMask?

MetaMask is probably not a new word for crypto enthusiasts. It works as a digital wallet, meaning you can input and output ‘money’, or in this case, cryptocurrencies.

Sending crypto to MetaMask is easy, just like a finger snap of Thanos, but without the stones, the snap won’t work. The stones here are the addresses and the blockchain. Always triple check these two factors, because just one letter wrong, and your crypto is gone.

There are many ways to send crypto to MetaMask, due to the existence of many exchanges. However, common exchanges are Binance, Coinbase, and Kraken. So, this article will tell you how to send crypto to MetaMask from those common exchanges.

Send Crypto from Binance to MetaMask

In order to send crypto from Binance to MetaMask, please follow these steps below:

  1. On the main screen of the Binance App, select the Wallet symbol in the bottom right corner.
  2. Choose Withdraw.
  3. Pick the crypto you want to withdraw from Binance.
  4. Insert your MetaMask address (BSC blockchain).
  5. Type the amount to withdraw.
  6. Press Withdraw.
  7. Binance will send a confirmation code and fee.
  8. Press Confirm button.
  9. Fill in the code and other confirmation needed (like e-mail).
  10. Then press Send.

Just within one minute, MetaMask will receive the crypto sent from Binance.

Binance Smart Chain is gaining traction as an Ethereum alternative, because of its lower transaction fees. Transactions are significantly less expensive, and the user experience is comparable. Binance smart chain is an Ethereum blockchain fork. That means that any Ethereum-based Dapp could run on the Binance Smart Chain; therefore, MetaMask can be used.

Send Crypto from Coinbase to MetaMask

Follow these steps to transfer cryptocurrencies from Coinbase to MetaMask:

  1. Go to your Coinbase account.
  2. Log in to your MetaMask account and click on “Buy and Send“.
  3. Choose the right crypto and the right address to send.
  4. Copy the MetaMask wallet address.
  5. Paste the address into Coinbase’s wallet address.
  6. Enter the amount of cryptocurrency you want to send.
  7. Click the Finish button to complete the transaction.

Send Crypto from Kraken to MetaMask

Withdrawal on Kraken is sort of the same with the two exchanges mentioned above. Here are the steps:

  1. Log in to your Kraken account, and click on the Funding button.
  2. Click on the Withdrawal button and then choose the cryptocurrency you want to withdraw and click on it.
  3. In the address field, paste your MetaMask address.
  4. Enter the amount you want to withdraw, ensure that the amount is greater than the minimum listed under the field.
  5. Check all the information again, then click Withdraw.
  6. Type in your verification code (2FA or mobile code), then click on Confirm.
  7. Your Kraken account will send out the amount in a minute.

As shown above, we always have ways to send crypto to MetaMask. But how about sending crypto from MetaMask to other exchanges?

How to send Crypto From MetaMask?

As mentioned from the start, MetaMask can not only receive crypto but also send crypto. Sending crypto to MetaMask is the same with all the exchanges above.

The steps are:

  1. Click on the Asset tab, then choose the crypto you want to send.
  2. Click Send.
  3. In the Add Recipient box, type in the wallet address
  4. Enter the Amount.
  5. Double check all the information before clicking Next.
  6. Review all the information and click Confirm.
  7. You can check the transaction in the Activity tab.

Sending cryptocurrencies to (and from) MetaMask

In this article, you’ve read steps about sending crypto to MetaMask (from Binance, Coinbase and Kraken), and vice versa sending crypto from MetaMask to many popular exchanges. As you can see while reading the steps, they are similar with every exchange. So, even if you’re using another exchange, you might still be able to understand how to send crypto to MetaMask by reading the above steps. Just always check every bit of information carefully.

MetaMask is a flexible and practical wallet. There are simple steps of sending and receiving crypto. However, even though the process may seem simple, is it of big importance to always triple check addresses and the blockchain used for transactions.
