So you created a paper wallet and now you need to transfer XRP from a paper wallet to another wallet or exchange.

Here’s how you do it in 6 easy steps.

To transfer XRP from a paper wallet to another wallet address you need to generate a transaction and sign the transaction with your private key. We will use the XUMM app or Gatehub for this process, as it makes the process of importing your paper wallet much simpler.

We will be using the XUMM App or the GateHub site for the transfer process. It is recommended that you have a Ledger Nano S or another hardware wallet before beginning this process. I do not recommend leaving your cryptocurrency on any exchange or online wallet for security purposes.

Transfer XRP From a Paper Wallet to the XUMM App

  1. Download the XUMM app for IOS or Android.
  2. Open the XUMM app and follow the setup process to set your pin code and acknowledge the terms.
  3. The XUMM app will give you 8 rows of 6 secret numbers. Keep these in a secure location; they will be used to restore your XUMM account if you ever lose access.
  4. Next, click the “Import existing account” button. Leave the selection on “Full access” and click the “Next” button.
  5. You will be given the option of importing your wallet. Select “Mnemonic” and then click the “Next, I understand” button.
  6. Select how many words are in your Mnemonic phrase. Then, enter your Mnemonic phrase words.

Once you’re done importing your XRP paper wallet into the XUMM app, you can transfer your XRP to a crypto exchange, hardware wallet, or another offline wallet.

Now that you have your wallet imported in XUMM, you will be given the option to send your XRP.

Click the “Send” button under your imported wallet. Now, enter the destination address and destination tag of the wallet you wish to send your XRP to. Within a few seconds, you should receive the XRP in the wallet you sent your XRP to.

Transfer XRP From a Paper Wallet to GateHub

  1. Create an account on GateHub and store your recovery key somewhere safe. This is important in case you forget your Gatehub account password during this process.
  2. Once signed in to your Gatehub account, you will need to verify your identity. You will need to upload photos of your ID and proof of residency document. This is required as per the KYC guidelines.
  3. After getting verified, you will be able to begin the process of importing your paper wallet. Begin by clicking the “Wallet” tab on the left sidebar.
  4. Now click “New Wallet” (+ icon to your upper left).
  5. Select “Import”.
  6. Type in your GateHub password if prompted and then insert your paper wallet secret key.

Once you’re done importing your XRP paper wallet into GateHub, you can transfer your XRP to a crypto exchange, hardware wallet, or another offline wallet.

Much like how you initially stored your XRP in a paper wallet, you can send to another wallet address.

  2. Select your XRP wallet.
  3. Click the “Send Payment” button from the top-right of the header to show a list of options.
  4. Select “Wallet” if you wish to send your xrp to another exchange or crypto wallet.
  5. Enter the address you wish to send your XRP to in the “To Address” field. (Most exchanges and crypto wallets will allow you to generate a new XRP wallet address for this step.)
  6. Enter “0” – without quotes in the “Destination Tag” field, unless a destination tag is supplied.
  7. Enter the amount you’re sending in the “Amount” field.
    • Note: You must send at least 20 XRP – the reserve fee.
    • In addition, you must also leave 20 XRP in the account you’re sending from.
