Depositing Stellar Lumen (XLM) to Bitfinex requires both:
- Address
- Memo
On the deposit page, the deposit address is shown at the top, with the deposit Memo for each of your wallets shown below. To make a deposit to your Exchange wallet, for example, you will need to use the deposit address shown near the top and the deposit Memo next to your Exchange wallet.
Please note: Failing to include the Memo will cause significant delays in crediting the transaction to your account, and can be irretrievable in some cases.
Stellar wallets need to be activated before funds can be sent to them, please ensure that your wallet is activated before sending funds from Bitfinex otherwise your withdrawal will fail. You can find out more in your wallet's FAQ/information and by checking the address exists in an explorer.
Stellar (XLM) Account Merge
The Stellar (XLM) “Account Merge” operation transfers the native balance (the amount of XLM an account holds) to another account and removes the source account from the ledger. Account Merge operations are not considered as deposits. Merging Stellar (XLM) accounts to Bitfinex will result in your funds being unrecoverable.
