How to Find Your Coinbase Wallet Addresses on a PC
You need a wallet address to receive crypto or NFTs on a Coinbase account. It acts similarly to an email address and is sometimes called a Public Key. When accessing the platform through your PC, follow the steps below to create a Public Key:
- Launch coinbase through your web browser and type your login information if prompted.
- Navigate to “Crypto addresses.”
- Click on the “Create new address” option.
All addresses you make will remain permanently tied to your user account. There’s no limit on how many addresses you’re allowed to generate.
In case you forget your wallet address, don’t panic. Coinbase stores that information, and you can access it whenever you want to initiate a new transaction. Here’s what you need to do to find your wallet address:
- Open Coinbase and sign in to your profile account.
- Head to “Crypto addresses.”
- Find the “Assets” section and click any cryto to generate a QR code for different types of cryptocurrency.
- Press “All Assets” in the top part of the desktop window when you want to select a new cryptocurrency.
Don’t be surprised if Coinbase displays multiple wallet addresses connected to your account. You can use all of them to receive bitcoin. Sometimes a specific address is associated with one type of crypto, so make sure you’ve found the appropriate information before initiating an exchange.
How to Find Your Coinbase Wallet Addresses on an iPhone
Coinbase has developed fairly responsive mobile apps that take the hassle out of buying and selling crypto. When another user wants to exchange NFTs or crypto, you must send them your wallet address. Here’s how you can do so on your iPhone:

You might sometimes see wallet addresses you don’t remember generating. Each Coinbase transaction is done through a new address.
