*Private wallets and exchange wallets

1) Private wallets (or Web3 wallets) are self-managed wallets. Users control their own seed phrase or private keys. For example: MetaMask, Ledger, and Trezor. A cold wallet is a type of private wallet.

2) Some platforms offer both exchange and private wallet services. For example, Binance Web3 Wallet and OKX Web3 Wallet are private wallets. However, Binance Exchange and OKX Exchange are exchange wallets. Deposits directly from exchange wallets to Futu will fail.

*How to determine if an private wallet address has been verified on another platform

If a wallet address has been used for deposits on platforms like Hashkey Exchange or Victory Securities, it should be considered verified on another platform.

 

4. Processing time

1) Deposits are processed after blockchain confirmations.
2) Deposits will be processed within one hour. Additional approvals take at least one business day.

 

5. Other deposit rules

Deposit more than the minimum deposit amount to ensure processing, otherwise the deposit amount cannot be refunded.
