moving xrp from kraken to gatehub

[sepilok]

Does anyone know if I can move xrp from kraken to gatehub? I am trying to withdraw, but it asks for destination tag and description

Yes. You can create a deposit address on Gatehub AFAIK. On any exchange you should be able to create Deposit/Withdraw addresses. You then take that address (copy and paste don't enter by hand) and enter it on the new exchange. Within 20 minutes your crypto should be on the new exchange. However, I would recommend the other way around. Kraken support gets back to you much quicker if you have issues and overall has a better platform. I moved all my XRP out of Gatehub and over to other exchanges.

As a small reminder, always make sure the exchange you are transferring to actually trades the form of crypto you are looking to deposit (gatehub does with XRP for what its worth).

thanks. I need to store my xrp somewhere a bit safer than my kraken account. I thought Gatehub was supposed to be a decent wallet (for an online one) I will get a cold wallet set up, but don't like just leaving xrp in kraken

What makes you think Kraken isn't safe?

I got all my XRP on GateHub. It's safe place or not?

I have just read a lot of people saying gatehub is a safer place for xrp. Especially if I can have some in gatehubs hosted wallet, which I believe is a bit like an air gapped wallet, although it would be at risk if gatehub was hacked.

I am near the bottom of a very steep learning curve, so all advice on this welcome.
