OKX app not only allows direct use of Web3 wallets but also supports importing existing wallets for broader usability. Have you ever wondered how to import a Web3 wallet into OKX? And can you withdraw funds afterward? Let’s dive in!
How to Import a Wallet into OKX
Users with existing wallets can import them using a mnemonic phrase or private key. Since these credentials are tied to asset security, we recommend manually writing/typing them—never copy-paste to avoid risks.

Web/Browser Extension
If you haven’t created/imported a wallet before:
- Visit the OKX official website, navigate to Web3 Wallet, click Connect Wallet → Import Wallet.
- Choose Mnemonic Phrase or Private Key, enter the details, set a password, and confirm to complete the import.
If you’ve already set up a wallet and want to add another:
- Open the OKX Web3 plugin, click ▼ → Manage → Add Wallet.

Note: OKX Web3 also supports hardware wallets.
Mobile App
First-time users:
- Download the OKX App, go to Web3 Wallet → Import Wallet.
- Enter the mnemonic or private key, create a password, and confirm.
Adding another wallet:
- In the OKX App, access Web3 Wallet → ▼ → Wallet Management.

Can Imported Web3 Wallets Withdraw Funds?
No, direct withdrawals aren’t supported.
Web3 wallets are designed for receiving and transferring crypto, not fiat (like CNY or USD). To cash out, you’ll need to:
Transfer crypto to an exchange (e.g., OKX):
- Log in to OKX, select Asset Management → Deposit.
- Choose the coin (e.g., USDT) and network (ERC-20/TRC-20/OKTC).
- Copy the deposit address.
Send funds from your Web3 wallet:
- Open the wallet, click Send, pick the coin, paste the OKX address, and confirm.
Sell for fiat:
- On OKX, go Buy Crypto → C2C → Sell USDT for CNY via preferred payment method.
