In line with our mission to make NFTs accessible to everyone, Voice creators all over the world can withdraw money from their Voice balance quickly, easily, and free* of charge on Voice. Here’s how…
FOR US-BASED CREATORS
If you’re a US-based creator, we recommend setting up a Coinbase account. Coinbase is the largest crypto exchange on the market, is incredibly user-friendly, and does not incur any fees for USDC. Go to https://www.coinbase.com from a browser on your computer, or download and open the Coinbase app for smartphones on Android or iOS to get started.
What you'll need:
Be at least 18 years old
A government-issued photo ID (Coinbase does not accept passport cards)
A computer or smartphone connected to the internet
A phone number connected to your smartphone (Coinbase will send SMS text messages)
The latest version of your browser (we recommend Chrome), or the latest Coinbase App version. If you’re using the Coinbase app, make sure your phone’s operating system is up-to-date.
For the full instructions and requirements, please see Coinbase's Help Center here.
Here are the steps for cashing out your Voice balance to your Coinbase account:
Set up a Coinbase account using Coinbase's instructions here.
Click on the Send/Receive button at the top right corner of your screen
Choose Receive and change the asset source to USD Coin
Copy the address that generates beneath the QR code
Go to voice.com/cashout
Paste your wallet address in Voice as your payout address and submit
To transfer money from Coinbase to your bank account:
Click the Buy/Sell button in the top right corner of your screen
Navigate to the Sell tab and select USD Coin
Deposit to Cash should be selected by default
Click Sell Now
Click Withdraw funds on the next screen
Enter your withdrawal amount and click Continue
Follow the prompts to add a card, bank, or previously added account
Confirm the payout, your funds will arrive in 1-3 days.
Voice is unable to offer support for the Coinbase service and recommends contacting the Coinbase customer service team directly for any assistance with their services.
*Network/gas fees may apply with Coinbase and other services.
FOR GLOBAL CREATORS
If you’re not a US-based creator, there are a number of simple and easy withdrawal methods available to you. While we highly recommend Coinbase to our US-based collectors, it’s not the most user-friendly platform for our international creators. Instead, we recommend Kraken or Gemini for a much easier and simpler exchange process.
Kraken*
Supported USDC-FIAT trading pairs: USD, EUR, GBP, AUD
Open an account with Kraken
Go to voice.com/cashout
Paste your Kraken wallet address in Voice as your payout address and submit
Deposit your Voice balance to Kraken
Withdrawing from Kraken to your bank:
Navigate to the Funding tab
Click Withdraw
Search for the currency you wish to withdraw (USDC)
Select a previously added address or add a new bank account to withdraw to
Enter your withdrawal amount
Confirm withdrawal
*Helpful tip: According to our Voice Discord community members, the Kraken mobile app is more user-friendly than the desktop version.
Gemini
Supported USDC-FIAT trading pairs: USD, AUD, CAD, EUR, GBP, and HKD
Gemini is another great wallet option for Voice creators living outside the US who need to exchange USDC for their local currency.
Open an account with Gemini
Go to voice.com/cashout
Paste your Gemini wallet address in Voice as your payout address and submit
Deposit your Voice balance to Gemini
Withdrawing from Gemini to your bank:
Navigate to the Withdrawal Page
Select your currency from the dropdown
Select the destination address
Input the amount you want to withdraw
Review the transfer details and select Request Withdrawal
You can use Coinbase to make a USDC exchange and withdrawal as an international creator but it requires a number of additional steps, including establishing a Coinbase Pro account, and is not the most streamlined process for exchanging and withdrawing your money.
COINBASE
Set up a Coinbase account
Click on the Send/Receive button at the top right corner of your screen
Choose Receive and change the asset source to USD Coin
Copy the address that generates beneath the QR code
Go to voice.com/cashout
Paste your wallet address in Voice as your payout address and submit
Moving money from Coinbase to your bank account
If your preferred crypto exchange is Coinbase, you HAVE to use Coinbase Pro to trade USDC for EUR and GBP.
