CoinDCX Users Report Losses After Sending Funds to Outdated Wallet Addresses

WHY IT MATTERS

When you use a crypto exchange, the exchange gives you a deposit address — think of it like a bank account number where you send your crypto. Sometimes exchanges change these addresses, similar to how a bank might change your account number. The difference is that in traditional banking, sending money to an old account number usually gets redirected or returned. In crypto, transactions cannot be reversed. If you send crypto to an old address that the exchange no longer controls, your funds could be permanently lost. This situation is a reminder for all crypto users to always double-check deposit addresses directly on the exchange before sending any funds, rather than relying on previously saved addresses.
