How to Send ETH from Coinbase to Phantom Wallet



 If you’ve recently bought Ethereum on Coinbase and want to transfer it to a self-custodial wallet like Phantom, you’re not alone. As Phantom now supports Ethereum alongside Solana and Polygon, many users are making the switch to decentralized storage and dApp access.

In this guide, we’ll walk you through the exact steps needed to send ETH from your Coinbase account to your Phantom Wallet safely — whether you're using a mobile device or desktop.

Step 1: Ensure Phantom Wallet Supports Ethereum

Before sending ETH, make sure your version of Phantom Wallet supports Ethereum. As of recent updates, Phantom allows you to:

  • Store ETH and ERC-20 tokens

  • Interact with Ethereum-based dApps

  • View separate wallet addresses for Solana, Ethereum, and Polygon networks

Step 2: Copy Your Phantom ETH Wallet Address

  1. Open Phantom Wallet (on browser or mobile app)

  2. Click the network selector and switch to the Ethereum network

  3. Copy your ETH wallet address (it starts with “0x”)

Make sure you’re copying the correct address for Ethereum — not your Solana or Polygon wallet. Sending ETH to the wrong network could result in loss of funds.

Step 3: Log In to Coinbase

On your desktop or mobile device:

  1. Log in to your Coinbase account

  2. Go to the Assets or Portfolio section

  3. Select Ethereum (ETH) from your list of holdings

Step 4: Send ETH to Phantom

Once you’ve selected Ethereum in Coinbase:

  1. Click or tap Send

  2. Paste your Phantom ETH wallet address into the recipient field

  3. Enter the amount of ETH you want to send

  4. Double-check the network: it should default to Ethereum (ERC-20)

  5. Confirm the transaction and complete any 2FA/security steps

The ETH will be deducted from your Coinbase account and sent to the address you provided.

Step 5: Confirm Receipt in Phantom

Depending on network congestion, Ethereum transactions can take anywhere from a few seconds to several minutes.

  1. Go back to Phantom Wallet

  2. Make sure you’re on the Ethereum network

  3. Your ETH balance should update once the transaction is confirmed

You can also track your transaction using a block explorer like Etherscan.io by pasting your wallet address into the search bar.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Wrong Network: Make sure to send ETH using the Ethereum (ERC-20) network — not Solana or any other.

  • Wrong Address: Phantom provides different wallet addresses for each blockchain. Always use the ETH-specific one.

  • Copy-Paste Errors: Double-check the wallet address before confirming the transaction.

  • Transaction Fees: Coinbase charges a network fee to send ETH. This is normal and varies depending on Ethereum traffic.

Why Transfer ETH to Phantom?

Sending ETH to your Phantom Wallet allows you to:

  • Maintain control over your private keys

  • Use ETH in decentralized apps and platforms

  • Access a multichain wallet with Ethereum, Solana, and Polygon support

  • Avoid leaving your crypto on centralized exchanges
