Upbit: proving you own your self-custody wallet

Upbit makes you register your own wallet before large transfers. You connect a supported browser-extension wallet (MetaMask, Kaia, Phantom, Polkadot{.js} or Keplr), pass two-channel authentication, and sign a message from upbit.com. Registration takes about 3 minutes. After that, withdrawals to that wallet need no extra details. Hardware wallets linked through MetaMask can’t be registered. For transfers under KRW 1,000,000 to a wallet that can’t be registered, Upbit takes a screenshot-based address request through 1:1 support.

Never share your seed phrase or private key. Upbit only needs a signature, a small test deposit or the details it asks for in its own app. Last checked 2026-10-28. Not legal advice.

When Upbit asks

Where: South Korea (Upbit Korea). Upbit’s Korean-language help center covers its Travel Rule rules and cites Korea’s Specific Financial Information Act (특정금융정보법) for blocked unreported exchanges.

Threshold: Upbit says deposits and withdrawals worth KRW 1,000,000 or more (converted to won) only work with a personal wallet registered with Upbit. Below KRW 1,000,000, withdrawals only go to destinations Upbit can identify: a listed exchange, a registered personal wallet, or an address it has approved.

Step by step

Register a personal wallet on the PC website[1][12]

  1. Finish Upbit’s customer verification (KYC) and set up two-channel authentication first. Upbit needs both to register a personal wallet.
  2. Log in at upbit.com and go to My → My Page → Personal Wallet Address Management (개인지갑 주소 관리) → Manage.
  3. Click Register Address (주소 등록) and select your wallet type. The wallet’s browser extension must already be installed.
  4. Connect the extension. In MetaMask, make sure the account you want to register is the selected, connected account. Only the selected account’s address is registered.
  5. Check the network and type the wallet address into the Wallet Address field. Add a nickname of up to 10 characters if you like.
  6. Complete two-channel authentication within 3 minutes, or the registration is cancelled.
  7. Approve the signature request in your wallet. The address is only registered once you sign. If the MetaMask prompt doesn’t appear, click Retry.
  8. Confirm the address now shows in Personal Wallet Address Management with its network.

Before signing, check that the origin is https://upbit.com and that the message shows Upbit’s notice, your address and verification details. Cancel if you see a red warning or only a 0x… hash. To keep your own record, sign a message with the same address and check it in the KeyProof verifier. Open the verifier →

Register a MetaMask address in the mobile app[8]

  1. Install the MetaMask app first. The Upbit mobile app only supports MetaMask; register Kaia, Phantom, Polkadot or Keplr wallets on the PC website.
  2. In the Upbit app, open Deposits/Withdrawals (입출금), tap the gear icon at the top right, then Personal Wallet Address Management.
  3. Tap + at the top right and choose MetaMask. Connect the account you want to register, then return to the Upbit app.
  4. Enter a nickname, select the network, and read and accept the notice.
  5. Complete two-channel authentication, then approve the signature request in MetaMask.

Withdraw to your registered wallet[4][5][10]

  1. Start a withdrawal for the asset and pick the same network your registered address uses.
  2. KRW 1,000,000 or more: choose Personal wallet (개인 지갑) as the destination.
  3. Under KRW 1,000,000: choose Other destinations (그 외 입금처) and enter your registered address.
  4. Finish the withdrawal. If Upbit says no address is registered, check that the withdrawal network matches the network of your registered address.

Common errors and fixes

My hardware wallet (Ledger / Trezor through MetaMask) can’t be registered

Upbit says it doesn’t support registering a MetaMask address that is linked to a hardware wallet. For transfers under KRW 1,000,000, you can request approval for the address through 1:1 support with a screenshot. Upbit’s articles don’t describe a hardware-wallet route for larger transfers.[9][6]

“No registered address” when withdrawing

The asset’s network must match the network of the registered address. Check it under Personal Wallet Address Management.[10]

Deposit from my own wallet is stuck as pending

If you deposited from a supported personal wallet before registering it, register the address and Upbit says the deposit will be credited. Contact support if it stays pending.[11]

Registration was cancelled

Two-channel authentication must be finished within 3 minutes of the request. Start again and approve the signature in your wallet right away.[1]

Withdrawal says the destination must be confirmed

Under KRW 1,000,000, Upbit only allows confirmed destinations. Register the wallet, or apply for withdrawal-address registration through 1:1 support.[5][6]
