Important Note on Webull's Crypto Operations
It's crucial to understand that since September 2023, Webull's crypto trading activities have been migrated to a separate app called Webull Pay. This means if you want to manage, buy, sell, or send your cryptocurrency, you'll need to use the Webull Pay app, not the main Webull trading platform. Your existing Webull login credentials should work for Webull Pay.
Step 1: Are you ready to send your Bitcoin? Verify Your Webull Pay Account
Before you can initiate any crypto transfers, ensure you have access to and are familiar with the Webull Pay app. This is where all your crypto assets are now managed.
1.1 Access Webull Pay: Download the Webull Pay app from your device's app store (if you haven't already). Log in using your existing Webull username and password. If this is your first time logging into Webull Pay, you might be prompted to agree to new terms and conditions.
1.2 Verify Your Identity (if necessary): Webull, like all regulated financial platforms, has strict "Know Your Customer" (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) policies. If your account isn't fully verified, you might face limitations on withdrawals. Ensure your ID information is up-to-date and verified. You can usually check this in the "Account" or "Profile" section of the app.
1.3 Understand Withdrawal Limitations: Be aware that Webull may have certain holding periods for recently deposited funds before they can be withdrawn. For instance, funds from ACH deposits might be subject to a hold period (e.g., 5-6 business days, or even up to 60 days if withdrawing to a new bank account). While this primarily affects fiat withdrawals, it can indirectly impact your ability to withdraw crypto if it's tied to recent deposits.
QuickTip: Read with curiosity — ask ‘why’ often.
Step 2: Where are you sending it? Obtain the Recipient's Bitcoin Wallet Address
This is arguably the most critical step. A Bitcoin wallet address is like a bank account number for your cryptocurrency. If you enter it incorrectly, your Bitcoin could be lost forever, as crypto transactions are irreversible.
2.1 Navigate to Your Destination Wallet/Exchange: Open the crypto wallet or exchange where you intend to send your Bitcoin. This could be a hardware wallet (like Ledger, Trezor), a software wallet (like Exodus, Trust Wallet), or another exchange (like Coinbase, Binance).
2.2 Locate the "Receive" or "Deposit" Function: Within your destination wallet or exchange, find the option to "Receive," "Deposit," or "Add Funds" for Bitcoin (BTC).
2.3 Copy the Bitcoin Address: You will see a long string of alphanumeric characters. This is your Bitcoin wallet address. Crucially, ensure it's a Bitcoin (BTC) address. Sending Bitcoin to an Ethereum address, for example, will result in permanent loss. Many platforms also offer a QR code for easier scanning.
2.4 Double-Check, Triple-Check, Quadruple-Check! Seriously. Copy and paste the address. Then, compare the first few and last few characters of the copied address with the original. Some people even send a very small test transaction first if they are transferring a large amount, just to be absolutely sure.
Step 3: Let's get this done! Initiate the Bitcoin Withdrawal on Webull Pay
Now that you have the correct destination address, it's time to initiate the transfer from Webull Pay.
3.1 Open Webull Pay App: Launch the Webull Pay application on your mobile device.
3.2 Go to the Crypto Section: Look for a dedicated "Crypto" tab or section within the app.
3.3 Select Bitcoin (BTC): Find Bitcoin in your list of holdings and tap on it.
3.4 Choose "Withdraw" or "Send": You should see an option to "Withdraw" or "Send" your Bitcoin. Tap this option.
3.5 Enter the Destination Address: Carefully paste the Bitcoin wallet address you copied in Step 2 into the designated field. Do not type it manually unless you have no other option and are extremely careful.
3.6 Enter the Amount: Input the amount of Bitcoin you wish to send. Be mindful of any minimum withdrawal limits Webull Pay might have.
3.7 Review Transaction Details: A summary of your transaction will appear, including the amount, the destination address, and any applicable fees. Review this information meticulously.
3.8 Confirm and Authenticate: Confirm the transaction. You will likely be asked to authenticate the withdrawal using your trading password, Face ID, or fingerprint for security purposes.
Step 4: Now, we wait... Monitor Your Bitcoin Transfer
Once you've confirmed the withdrawal, the Bitcoin transfer process begins.
4.1 Check Webull Pay History: In the Webull Pay app, you can typically find a "Transaction History" or "Withdrawal History" section. Your recent Bitcoin transfer should appear here with a "Pending" or "Processing" status.
4.2 Understand Confirmation Times: Bitcoin transactions need to be confirmed by the Bitcoin network (miners). This involves being included in a block and then having subsequent blocks added on top for increased security. The time this takes can vary significantly depending on network congestion and the transaction fee paid by Webull (which is usually optimized for reasonable speed). It can range from a few minutes to several hours.
4.3 Track on a Blockchain Explorer (Optional but Recommended): Once Webull Pay shows the transaction as "sent" or provides a transaction ID (TxID), you can use a Bitcoin blockchain explorer (e.g., Blockchain.com, Blockchair) to track the transaction's progress. Simply paste the TxID into the explorer's search bar to see its confirmation status.
4.4 Confirm Arrival in Destination Wallet: Once the transaction has a sufficient number of confirmations (usually 3-6 for most exchanges/wallets), your Bitcoin should appear in your destination wallet or exchange.

Step 5: Success! Troubleshooting and Important Considerations
QuickTip: Highlight useful points as you read.
Even with a step-by-step guide, issues can sometimes arise. Here's what to keep in mind:
Incorrect Address: If you sent Bitcoin to an incorrect or unsupported address, it is highly unlikely you will recover it. Always double and triple-check.
Network Congestion: During periods of high network activity, Bitcoin transactions can take longer to confirm. This is normal and usually resolves itself as congestion eases.
Webull Pay Maintenance: Occasionally, platforms undergo maintenance, which can temporarily halt withdrawals. Check Webull's official announcements or support channels if you experience unexpected delays.
Contact Support: If your Bitcoin transfer is stuck for an unusually long time, or if you encounter any error messages, immediately contact Webull Pay customer support. Provide them with all relevant details, including the transaction ID.

How to Speed Up a Bitcoin Transfer from Webull?
The speed of a Bitcoin transfer is largely dependent on network congestion and the transaction fee paid to miners.

During periods of high network traffic, transfers might simply take longer.
How to Cancel a Pending Bitcoin Withdrawal on Webull Pay?
Once a Bitcoin withdrawal is initiated and broadcasted to the blockchain, it is generally irreversible.

Contact support immediately if you made an error.
How to Contact Webull Pay Customer Support for Crypto Issues?

Always use the official Webull Pay app. Double-check the recipient wallet address, every single time.

Be wary of phishing attempts or unsolicited requests for your private keys or login information.
