Get Started

The procedure for withdrawing digital assets from Upbit to other exchange is as follows:

  1. Register a withdrawal address for the digital asset on the Upbit website.
  2. Verify that the withdrawal address has been registered.
  3. Check whether the digital asset is currently available for withdrawal.
  4. Withdraw the digital asset.
  5. Query the withdrawal details to confirm the withdrawal status.

This guide explains how to implement the same process using the Upbit API to withdraw digital assets from Upbit to other exchange.

This guide includes the process of withdrawing digital assets using real assets.
Therefore, if you copy and run the code exactly as written in this guide, your actual digital assets held in your Upbit account may be withdrawn to another exchange. If you do not wish to withdraw digital assets, please refer only to the Upbit API usage instructions and make sure not to call any withdrawal-related functions.
Check the proper endpoint based on your region.
The examples in this page is written using Singapore fiat code(SGD). Set the quote currency to match your region. The base_url differs by country/region. Make sure to specify the correct region value for your environment.

Authentication Guide

The Withdrawal Management API is included in the Exchange API and requires authentication. Be sure to review the Authentication documentation and the recipe below, and add the authentication header to all Exchange API requests.


Registering Withdrawal Addresses for Digital Assets

To withdraw digital assets from Upbit to another exchange or wallet, you must first register a withdrawal address. Please refer to the withdrawal whitelist address registration guides to check how to register a withdrawal address.


Confirming Registered Withdrawal Addresses

Call the List Withdrawal Allowed Addresses API to implement a function that returns the list of registered withdrawal addresses for a specific digital asset. The function returns the withdrawal address entered during registration, the network type, and the name of the exchange that issued the address.

def get_withdrawal_address(currency: str, net_type: str, vasp_name: str) -> Sequence:
    jwt_token = _create_jwt(access_key, secret_key)
    url = "https://sg-api.upbit.com/v1/withdraws/coin_addresses"
    headers = {
        "Authorization": "Bearer {jwt_token}".format(jwt_token=jwt_token),
        "Content-Type": "application/json"
    }
    response = requests.get(url, headers=headers).json()
    if not response:
        raise ValueError("There is no withdrawal address.")

    address_info = [{k: v for k, v in item.items() 
                    if k in ['withdraw_address', 'net_type', 'exchange_name']} 
                    for item in response if item.get('currency') == currency 
                    and item.get('net_type') == net_type 
                    and item.get('exchange_name') == vasp_name]
    
    if not address_info:
        raise ValueError("There is no withdrawal address for {currency}.".format(currency=currency))
    return address_info
Network Type(net_type) and Network Name(network_name)
The network type(net_type) is an identifier field used to specify the blockchain network (target chain) through which a digital asset is transferred during deposit and withdrawal (e.g., BTC). It is a required parameter for digital asset withdrawals, and the correct identifier value must be used to ensure proper processing. When calling the withdrawal API, you should first call the withdrawal whitelist address API and use the exact network type value from the response.

The network name(network_name) represents the full name of the blockchain network (e.g., Bitcoin). It is human-readable information and cannot be used as an identifier. It is intended for display purposes, such as representing the blockchain network in a service UI.

When the function is executed, it returns the information of the withdrawal addresses registered by the user.

// If there are registered withdrawal addresses,
[
  {
    "net_type": "TRX",
    "withdraw_address": "<wtihdrawal_address>",
    "exchange_name": "<VASP A>"
  }
]

// If an unsupported currency code is entered
ValueError: Unsupported currency USDTz.

// When there are no registered withdrawal addresses for the currency code entered by the user
ValueError: There is no withdrawal address. Please register your withdrawal address.

Check Deposit and Withdrawal Service Status

Implement a function that calls the Get Deposit/Withdrawal Service Status API to check whether a specific digital asset is available for withdrawal. The function also allows users to verify the deposit and withdrawal wallet status for each network of the selected asset..

def check_withdrawal_status(currency: str, net_type: str) -> str: 
    jwt_token = _create_jwt(access_key, secret_key)
    url = "https://sg-api.upbit.com/v1/status/wallet"
    headers = {
        "Authorization": "Bearer {jwt_token}".format(jwt_token=jwt_token),
        "Content-Type": "application/json"
    }
    response = requests.get(url, headers=headers).json()
    wallets = [item for item in response if item.get('currency') == currency]
    print("{wallets}\n".format(wallets=wallets))
    wallet = next((item for item in wallets if item.get('net_type') == net_type), None)
    if wallet is None:
        raise ValueError("There is no withdrawal address for {currency}.".format(currency=currency))
    print("The {currency}-{net_type} wallet status is {wallet_state}.".format(currency=currency, net_type=net_type, wallet_state=wallet.get('wallet_state')))   
    return wallet.get('wallet_state')

When executed, the function retrieves the status of the blockchain network where the digital asset is deployed. The wallet_state field shows whether deposits and withdrawals are available for that asset. For multi-chain digital assets such as USDT, you can check the deposit and withdrawal wallet status across all blockchain networks supported by Upbit.

Withdraw Digital Asset

Implement a function to request a digital asset withdrawal. Provide the currency, network type, withdrawal amount, withdrawal address, and secondary address (if supported by the network), then call the Withdraw Digital Asset API to submit the request.

def withdraw_digital_asset(
        currency: str, 
        net_type: str, 
        amount: str, 
        address: str, 
        secondary_address: Optional[str] = None, 
        ) -> str:
    params = {
        "currency": currency,
        "net_type": net_type,
        "amount": amount,
        "address": address,
        "transaction_type": "default"
    }

    if secondary_address:
        params["secondary_address"] = secondary_address  
    query_string = _build_query_string(params)
    jwt_token = _create_jwt(access_key, secret_key, query_string)
    url = "https://sg-api.upbit.com/v1/withdraws/coin"
    headers = {
        "Authorization": "Bearer {jwt_token}".format(jwt_token=jwt_token),
        "Content-Type": "application/json"
    }
    response = requests.post(url, headers=headers, json=params).json()
    uuid = response.get('uuid')
    if uuid is None:
        raise ValueError(f"Please check the withdrawal issue. {response}")
    else:
        return uuid

If the withdrawal request is successful, the uuid of the withdrawal is returned.

{
  "type": "withdraw",
  "uuid": "<withdrawal uuid>",
  "currency": "USDT",
  "net_type": "TRX",
  "txid": None,
  "state": "WAITING",
  "created_at": "2025-07-17T13:53:31+09:00",
  "done_at": None,
  "amount": "13.0",
  "fee": "0.0",
  "transaction_type": "default",
  "is_cancelable": False
}

Getting Withdrawal Status

Call the Get Get Withdrawal API with the withdrawal UUID to retrieve the withdrawal details and result..

def get_withdrawal_state(uuid: str) -> Mapping:
    params = {
        "uuid": uuid
    }   
    query_string = _build_query_string(params)
    jwt_token = _create_jwt(access_key, secret_key, query_string)
    url = "https://sg-api.upbit.com/v1/withdraw"
    headers = {
        "Authorization": "Bearer {jwt_token}".format(jwt_token=jwt_token),
        "Content-Type": "application/json"
    }
    response = requests.get(url, headers=headers, params=params).json()
    return response

The state field in the withdrawal information indicates the current status of the withdrawal. If the value is DONE, it means the withdrawal has been completed. The possible states are as follows:

  • WAITING: Withdrawal is pending.
  • PROCESSING: Withdrawal is in progress.
  • DONE: Withdrawal has been completed.
  • FAILED: Withdrawal has failed.
  • CANCELLED: Withdrawal has been cancelled.
  • REJECTED: Withdrawal has been rejected.

Due to blockchain transaction processing, it may take some time for the withdrawal to be finalized. If the state does not change immediately after submitting the request, please try again after some time.

{
  "type": "withdraw",
  "uuid": "<your_withdraw_uuid>",
  "currency": "USDT",
  "net_type": "TRX",
  "txid": "<your_withdraw_txid>",
  "state": "DONE",
  "created_at": "2025-07-17T13:53:31+09:00",
  "done_at": "2025-07-17T13:56:00+09:00",
  "amount": "13.0",
  "fee": "0.0",
  "transaction_type": "default",
  "is_cancelable": False
}
