Method 1: Sell USDT for your local currency (P2P)

  1. Go to Buy Crypto → P2P, and add the payment method you want to be paid with.
  2. Choose Fast Trade to be matched automatically, or the P2P zone to pick a buyer and tap Sell next to their ad.
  3. Enter the amount and tap Place Order (in Fast Trade: Sell USDT, then Confirm).
  4. The order shows Awaiting Payment from the Other Party. KuCoin locks your USDT during the trade. You can talk to the buyer in Chat.
  5. When the status becomes Payment Completed, Please Release Crypto, open your bank or wallet app yourself and check the money is there.
  6. Tap Release Crypto and confirm with your trading password.

Method 2: Withdraw crypto to a wallet or another exchange

  1. In the app, go to Assets → Overview → Withdraw, then choose Withdrawal Crypto.
  2. Choose the coin (USDT, for example).
  3. Paste the address you're sending to. For coins on several networks, KuCoin picks the network from the address. Check it matches the receiving platform's network. If it can't tell, choose the network yourself.
  4. Enter the amount. Tap Available to choose whether it comes from Funding or Trading. You'll see the network fee and the amount that will arrive. Tap Continue.
  5. Check everything again and tap Confirm.
  6. Complete the security check the app asks for (trading password, email or SMS code, Google 2FA).

Sending to another KuCoin user? Tap Internal and enter their email, phone or UID. Internal transfers are instant and free, but they don't create a blockchain TXID.

Save addresses you use often in the Address Book (Add address, then the security check), so you don't have to paste them every time.

Networks explained: TRC20, BEP20 and ERC20.

Common problems

I can't withdraw

  • Did you just change your Google 2FA, phone number, email or trading password? KuCoin blocks withdrawals for 24 hours after any security change.
  • Is the coin in Funding or Trading? Withdrawals work from those two accounts. Move it there with Assets → Transfer if it's somewhere else.

I see "Contain invalid or sensitive information" or the address is rejected

  • Check the address, and that the coin and network are supported. Some coins can only be sent on their own main network. If it still fails, contact KuCoin's online support.

The buyer says they've paid, but I don't see the money

  • Don't release. Talk to them in Chat, or tap Need Help? to reach KuCoin support.
