# withdrew from binance on the wrong network Binance can't pull it back: once crypto leaves Binance for another platform, Binance can no longer help. Where it landed decides the rest. On your own 0x wallet, on a different EVM chain, it is at the same address on that chain. At another exchange, only that exchange's support can look. ## first, find where it went Get the withdrawal's TxID and check it on the explorer for the network you selected. The receiving address and the network there are the facts; this page sorts the rest by them. ## your own wallet, another evm chain Say you sent USDC to your MetaMask address on BNB Smart Chain when you meant Arbitrum. Your address is the same on every EVM chain, so MetaMask files this under recoverable: the funds are there. Switch the wallet to the chain you sent on and they show. From there you can bridge them where you meant them to go. ## evm and non-evm crossed An 0x address on a Solana network is a separate case, and so is a Solana address on an EVM one. MetaMask says the tokens are probably lost for good, since an address on one type of network does not match any address on the other. ## sent to another exchange Contact that exchange's support with the TxID. Binance says a wrong address or memo on a withdrawal to another platform is for the receiving platform to handle. Whether it can recover a deposit on a network it does not support is up to that exchange. Binance does it for deposits into Binance, below. ## the other way: into binance on the wrong network Here Binance does have a process, self-service recovery, for deposits into your Binance account only: - The deposit must show as confirmed on chain, and still be missing after 1 hour. - Apply with its TxID. The form fills in the coin, network and amount if Binance can see the transaction. - Tokens on an EVM network Binance does not support: 30 working days and a 20 USDT fee. - A missing or wrong memo: 7 working days and the network withdrawal fee. - The fee is charged only if the recovery works. Binance says not every deposit can be retrieved. ![Binance's deposit retrieval table with time, fee and refund or credit per type, from Deposit not credited at 5 working days and Free to unlisted tokens on supported networks at 30 working days and 20 USDT.](https://apebrief.com/assets/media/binance-recovery-table.png) ## nobody real DMs you about it Ignore anyone who messages you offering to recover your funds. MetaMask says it will never message you or ask for your recovery phrase, and anyone who does is a scammer. Go through the exchange's own support, from its own site.

Test small first. - **How do I send crypto from an exchange to my own wallet?** Copy the address from the wallet's receive screen and pick the network the wallet showed you, not the cheapest one.

ETH on Ethereum, then bridged, for Robinhood Chain. ## how we know: every number on this page - once tokens leave Binance for a third-party platform, Binance cannot help retrieve them; for a wrong address or memo on a withdrawal to another platform, the receiving platform is the one to contact **unable** (https://www.binance.com/en/support/faq/detail/40b87335db904481888ef406b105442b), checked 2026-09-26 - self-service recovery is only for deposits into Binance; a withdrawal to a wrong address is not eligible **Withdrawal** (https://www.binance.com/en/support/faq/detail/4d1347b4d6d44564ba44ea785703a4fd), checked 2026-09-26 - Binance's recovery table: unsupported EVM networks take 30 working days and a 20 USDT fee; a missing or wrong memo takes 7 working days and the network withdrawal fee; fees are charged only on success **30** (https://www.binance.com/en/support/faq/detail/4d1347b4d6d44564ba44ea785703a4fd), checked 2026-09-26 - recovery is applied for with the deposit's TxID, only once the transaction is confirmed on chain and still missing after 1 hour, and Binance does not promise it **1** (https://www.binance.com/en/support/faq/detail/4d1347b4d6d44564ba44ea785703a4fd), checked 2026-09-26 - funds on the wrong EVM network are at the same address on that network: switch the wallet to it, then bridge **recoverable** (https://support.metamask.io/manage-crypto/move-crypto/send/funds-sent-on-wrong-network/), checked 2026-09-26 - a send across EVM and non-EVM addresses most likely went to an address nobody holds **likely** (https://support.metamask.io/manage-crypto/move-crypto/send/funds-sent-on-wrong-network/), checked 2026-09-26 - a real recovery never starts with a DM or a request for your recovery phrase **scammer** (https://support.metamask.io/manage-crypto/move-crypto/send/funds-sent-on-wrong-network/), checked 2026-09-26 - Hyperliquid names Arbitrum as the common route for USDC when an exchange does not support Hyperliquid directly **Arbitrum** (https://hyperliquid.gitbook.io/hyperliquid-docs/onboarding/how-to-start-trading), checked 2026-09-26 ## when this is not enough For USDC headed to Hyperliquid, it names one network to pick when an exchange cannot send there directly, Arbitrum, so there is one choice to get right on the form.
