How to Transfer Assets from an Exchange to Trezor.io/Start® | Starting Up Your Device | Trezor®

So, you’ve set up your Trezor® hardware wallet using the official site Trezor.io/Start®—great choice! Now it’s time to transfer your crypto from an exchange (like Coinbase, Binance, or Kraken) to your Trezor® wallet, where your assets are under your full control.

This guide walks you through every step of the process securely and simply.

🛡️ Why Transfer to Trezor®?

Exchanges are convenient—but they don’t give you full ownership. If the exchange gets hacked, freezes withdrawals, or goes offline, your assets are at risk.

With Trezor®, you control your private keys. That means full ownership and peace of mind.

And remember, all wallet setup and safety steps start at the official site: Trezor.io/Start®.

🧰 What You’ll Need

Before you transfer, make sure you have:

  • Your Trezor® device (Model One or Model T)
  • Trezor Suite installed (from Trezor.io/Start®)
  • Access to your exchange account (e.g., Binance, Coinbase)
  • A small amount of crypto in your exchange wallet
  • A secure internet connection

🚀 Step-by-Step: Transfer Crypto from Exchange to Trezor®

✅ Step 1: Open Trezor Suite

Go to your computer and open Trezor Suite, which you downloaded from Trezor.io/Start®. If you haven’t done that yet, visit the site to download and install it.

✅ Step 2: Connect Your Trezor® Device

Plug in your Trezor® device and enter your PIN. Trezor Suite will connect and display your wallet dashboard.

✅ Step 3: Find Your Receive Address

In Trezor Suite:

  1. Choose the crypto asset you want to receive (e.g., Bitcoin).
  2. Click “Receive”.
  3. Click “Show full address” and confirm it on your Trezor® device screen.
Important: Always verify the address on your Trezor® device. This prevents address spoofing attacks.

✅ Step 4: Log Into Your Exchange

Open your exchange account (Coinbase, Binance, etc.), go to your wallet or portfolio, and:

  1. Click “Withdraw” or “Send”
  2. Select the same cryptocurrency (e.g., Bitcoin)
  3. Paste the receive address from Trezor Suite
  4. Double-check the network and amount
  5. Confirm and send

✅ Step 5: Wait for Confirmation

Blockchain transactions take time to confirm (minutes to hours, depending on the coin and network congestion). You’ll see your balance update in Trezor Suite once confirmed.

🔄 Example: Sending ETH from Binance to Trezor®

  1. Open Trezor Suite and select Ethereum
  2. Click “Receive” and copy the address
  3. Go to Binance → Wallet → Withdraw
  4. Choose ETH and paste the Trezor® address
  5. Select ERC-20 as the network
  6. Enter amount, confirm withdrawal
  7. Wait for confirmation

That’s it! The funds will appear in your Ethereum account in Trezor Suite.

💡 Pro Tips

  • Always test with a small amount first to make sure everything works as expected.
  • Bookmark Trezor.io/Start® for safe access to updates and resources.
  • Only use matching networks (e.g., ERC-20 for ETH, BTC for Bitcoin)—or your funds may be lost.
  • If your crypto doesn't show up after sending, check the transaction status on a block explorer (e.g., Etherscan or Blockchain.com).

⚠️ Safety Reminders

  • Never share your recovery seed
  • Always verify receive addresses on your Trezor® screen
  • Avoid copy-pasting addresses from unknown sources
  • Use only the official Trezor Suite downloaded from Trezor.io/Start®

❓ FAQs

Q: Can I transfer any crypto to my Trezor®?

Trezor® supports 1,000+ coins and tokens, but you must install the right coin apps in Trezor Suite. Always check supported assets at Trezor.io/Start® or Trezor's coin support page.

Q: What happens if I choose the wrong network?

If you send crypto on an unsupported network (e.g., BSC instead of ERC-20), your funds may not arrive and could be permanently lost. Always double-check!

Q: Can I use Trezor® with decentralized exchanges (DEXs)?

Yes! Once your crypto is stored in Trezor®, you can connect your wallet to DEXs like Uniswap or MetaMask (using Trezor as the signing key).
