Step 5: Withdraw BTC from Your Okcoin Account 

There are a few different ways in which you can withdraw your crypto from Okcoin. 

However, please note that you cannot withdraw the deposit or any crypto you buy with it for 10 days if you are using the ACH deposit methods (this applies mainly to users from the USA).

In order to withdraw crypto, log into your Okcoin account and go to the “Assets” drop-down available on the upper right and click on Withdrawal.

Next, choose the desired crypto you want to transfer, for instance, BTC. You will be able to see your most recent selections if you have made the withdrawals before.
