Funding Your Bybit Account: Depositing Crypto on Bybit

Before you can fund your Bybit account, you first need to create a Bybit account. If you don’t already have one, please click on our step-by-step guide to creating a Bybit account here. After you’ve done that, we can explore the different ways you can fund your Bybit account.

If you already have funds in an external crypto wallet or on another exchange, you can choose to deposit crypto into your Bybit account through a blockchain transaction. However, you should be aware of the following:

• Please only deposit the supported coins using the supported chain listed on the Bybit Asset page.

• Bybit currently only supports direct transfer. Please do not transfer your assets using the Smart Contract method.

• For coin deposits that require a deposit tag/memo, kindly be sure to fill in your deposit memo/tag correctly. You can find your memo/tag from the deposit window. Depositing without a memo/tag or with the wrong memo/tag may lead to the loss of assets. For more information, please refer to the Bybit Deposit FAQ.
