You can make a deposit to the exchange from an external wallet, or buy cryptocurrencies on the exchange through Peer2Peer (P2P).
Depost from external wallet
Before sending a cryptocurrency transfer:
- Make sure that sum of your deposit exceeds the minimum required amount in the selected cryptocurrency.
- Bitget does not charge a deposit fee, but there may be a fee for online transactions. Compare the commissions in different networks, choose the best network for yourself.
- Check the saved addresses before using them. For security purposes, Bitget may periodically generate new unique deposit addresses. Always use the address displayed for the current transaction! Using expired or outdated addresses can lead to an irreversible loss of funds.
1. Open the Assets menu and select “Deposit”.
2. Select the coin and chain for the transfer. After that, the exchange will show the address for the deposit.
Important! There must be the same coin and chain at both ends of the transfer transaction, otherwise the funds may be irretrievably lost.
3. Under the address area, you can configure which account within the exchange this transfer should be credited to. For example, to a “Spot account” or a “USDT-M account” (Futures).
4. If everything is selected as you want, copy the address or use the QR code.
5. Go to your wallet (or to the exchange from where the withdrawal will be made), start withdrawing funds in the desired coin and transfer network.
Important! In case of manual copying of the address, check the inserted address visually (in case of infection with a virus that replaces the addresses in the clipboard).
After completing and verifying all fields in the withdrawal wallet, start the transfer.
6. Wait for funds to arrive. The transaction processing time depends on the selected network usage.
Using P2P trading
To use P2P, you must complete verification and add your preferred payment method. It is also recommended to check the instructions for this function in the help system on the exchange for any important recent updates.
1. Select “Buy crypto” in the main menu, then “P2P trading”.
2. In the table with suggestions, select your filters:
- the cryptocurrency you are buying;

3. From the list you receive, select a merchant:
- with a sufficiently high number of completed transactions;

If everything is fine, fill in the fields and start the purchase (click “Buy USDT”):
Now, within the prescribed period, you need to make a payment directly to the seller based on the payment information and instructions provided by him. Use the “P2P Chat” function to contact the seller, inform him about your actions.
