If someone is telling me I need to have a certain balance in usdt in my Exodus wallet in order to accept a transaction, is that as safe as they say?

I previously paid a gas fee that was pretty high, and we thought that was the final step to getting my money. However, when the transaction had enough gas to go through, it failed. After some research by the server pro, they determine that my exodus wallet cannot accept the funds until I had 25% of the amount in my wallet.

They keep telling me that putting the amount (to get to the 25%) is safe because only I can get to it. No one else can withdraw from my exodus wallet.

Does this sound legit to you all?

Warning!!! EU Crypto Users: Stop Sending Crypto Directly Between Exchanges Right Now, or risk your crypto being Frozen.

Since MiCA went fully live on July 1, 2026, many people are hitting frustrating (and sometimes costly) delays or blocks when moving assets between centralized exchanges.

What’s Happening?

Exchanges licensed under MiCA must comply with the Travel Rule (Transfer of Funds Regulation). When you send crypto directly from one CEX to another, the receiving platform often can’t automatically verify the originator information. Result:

• Deposits show as “Pending”

• “Travel Rule verification failed”

• Funds get stuck → manual review or refund process (which can take hours to days)

This is especially common with stablecoins (USDC, USDT) and certain networks, but it affects others too. Examples are popping up regularly on Bybit EU, Crypto.com, and other platforms.

The Simple Fix Most People Recommend

Always use a non-custodial (self-hosted) wallet like Exodus as an intermediary:

1. Withdraw from Exchange A → Your personal wallet (e.g. MetaMask, Trust Wallet, Ledger, Exodus Wallet, etc.).

2. From your wallet → Deposit into Exchange B.

This makes the incoming deposit appear as coming from an address you control, which exchanges handle much more smoothly. It adds one extra step and a tiny bit of network fees, but it dramatically reduces the chance of your funds getting frozen in limbo.

Pro tips:

• Always test with a small amount first.

• Keep your transaction hashes and wallet addresses.

• Use hardware wallets for larger amounts.

• Self-custody is not regulated the same way — you stay in control.

This isn’t “anti-regulation” advice — it’s practical risk management in the current environment. Regulators themselves recommend orderly transfers to self-custody during platform wind-downs.

Always deposit from a noncustodial address you control and withdraw to a noncustodial address you control for CEXs nowadays & then transfer to another CEX or friend after.

So i just started using exodus card specifically for Apple pay spendings, seems really good so far but i was wondering what are some drawbacks of it, is there anywhere where i can see the fees for payments/atm withdrawals etc. Thank you!

Not sure if im allowed to post this but i just got my exodus wallet drained for 2.1k GBP (uk pounds) it happened on the 26th june just opened my wallet and seen it now. I am devastated. Whats strange is that the other wallets on exodus that i have are all still in tact on the same phone. I know theres nothing i can do about it but idk who to tell. I told my dad about it he was saying no big deal so coming on here to say. I’m 20m. Not quite sure if i can add a picture to show u guys. For context. I haven’t opened the phone i had the money on in months. I clicked on the address it was sent to and it says sponsored by coinpoker

For some reason when using the pay card via Apple Pay, payments will randomly show as being declined (in Apple Pay) but approved with the funds removed (within the exodus app).

When this happens it takes 5+ days for the money to be returned to the exodus pay card…which is a PITA. There doesn’t seem to be any rhyme or reason as to when this will happen-it’s happened to me 4 times so far at stores I’ve successfully used the pay card at in the past.

Until exodus sorts this out I recommend using the pay card to add money onto cashapp (or wherever) and then use that payment method as it appears the issue is limited to when using Apple Pay.

Just wanted to give people a heads up and hopefully have an exodus rep comment.

So I just started using the app and i set up verification (i live in the UK so it’s a legal requirement to show ID, and it worked and i got the crypto but every time i try to buy more it asks for ID again? This is strange because everything i can find says it’ll only ask for ID once to confirm your age

Tonight I purchased my first ETH-USDC coin and it shows in my wallet. When I go to send my coin to a vendor, it shows my balance but at the bottom of the page in purple it says “You need ETH on the Ethereum network. Add some to get started”.

So what am I doing wrong here and why can’t I send my funds out?

I downloaded the exodus app from the Apple Store

Any ideas on when exodus pay cards will be available in UAE? Just did the verification and now it says its coming soon
