How Do I Import Paper Wallet Into Coinbase?

Assuming you’ve already generated a paper wallet (which we’ll go over how to do in a second), there are two ways to get your Bitcoin into Coinbase. The first way is to use the Coinbase import feature, and the second way is to sweep your paper wallet.

We’ll go over both methods so you can decide which one is best for you.

If you want to use the Coinbase import feature, the first thing you need to do is log into your Coinbase account and go to the “Accounts” page. From there, click on the “Import / Export” button in the upper right hand corner.

This will bring up a popup that asks you what type of account you want to import. For our purposes, we’re going to want to select “Wallet.”

The next popup will ask you whether you want to import a private key or a JSON file. If you have a JSON file, select that option and upload the file.

If you only have a private key, select that option and enter your private key in the field provided.

Once you’ve selected the appropriate option and entered your information, click on the “Import Account” button. This will bring up one last popup asking you to confirm the account import. Once you confirm, your account will be imported and ready to use!

NOTE: Warning: Importing a paper wallet into Coinbase can be risky and should only be done with caution. It is important to take the necessary steps to protect yourself and your funds. This includes double-checking the address you are sending your funds to, as well as verifying the authenticity of any third-party services you are using. Additionally, it is important to remember that Coinbase cannot provide customer support or assistance if something goes wrong during the import process.

Sweeping your paper wallet is another way to get your Bitcoin into Coinbase. To sweep your paper wallet, log into your Coinbase account and go to the “Accounts” page.

From there, click on the “Send / Request” button in the upper right hand corner.

This will bring up a popup with two options: “Send” and “Request.” We’re going to want to select “Send,” since we’re sending Bitcoin from our paper wallet to our Coinbase account.

The next popup will ask you for the recipient’s address. In this case, we’re going to want to enter our own Coinbase address.

You can find your Coinbase address by clicking on the “Accounts” tab and selecting the Bitcoin account that you want to receive the funds in. Once you’ve entered your Coinbase address, click on the “Next” button.

The next popup will ask you how much Bitcoin you want to send. In this case, we’re going to want to select “Max,” since we want to send all of the Bitcoin from our paper wallet to our Coinbase account.

Once you’ve selected how much Bitcoin you want to send, click on the “Send Funds” button.

This will bring up one last popup asking you to confirm the transaction details. Once you confirm, your Bitcoin will be sent from your paper wallet to your Coinbase account!.
