6 Receiving crypto assets
You can receive crypto assets on accounts managed by your Ledger device by generating
a receive address in the Ledger Live app. Assets not supported by Ledger Live can be
managed through an external wallet.
Security tips
Always send a small amount first. Then verify that the transaction was properly
received by the recipient address before proceeding to send larger amounts.
Prerequisites
Ledger Live should be ready to use.
The right app should be installed on your Ledger device.
Ex: install the Bitcoin app to receive Bitcoin.
Add an account if you're using Ledger Live.
Instructions
1. Click Receive in the menu on the left-hand side.
2. Type or use the drop-down list to choose the account to credit.
3. Click Continue.
4. Connect and unlock your Ledger device. Open the crypto asset app as instructed
and click Continue.
5. Read the on-screen instructions and click on Verify to display an address on your
device.
6. Verify that the address shown on your screen is the same as the address shown in
Ledger Live.
NOTE: For optimal security, you should copy and send the address to the sender
of the transaction. Then verify with the sender of the transaction that the address
received matches the one shown on your device.
