Funds sent to different address. Please help.

I had not seen properly that I was exchanging for USDT omni. Hash shows that I have received funds but, wallet says that they only support erc20 Usdt due to which I am unable to access it. It has been couple of days that this has happened I could not find any solution so, asked here.

What wallet are you using?

Did you sent this to an exchange? If so, in which exchange did you do this? They are the ONLY ones that may help you.

Contact their support. Some exchanges just help you, others charge a fee to recover your coins and others don’t do anything. Just hope they help you, because no one else can.

If you own the wallet, recovering it could be possible (I’m not sure tho, as we are talking about the ETH and BTC blockchain). Disclose some details (tx ids, wallets/services used, etc).

As I understand it, he has access to the wallet, but the wallet refuses to see the cache? Did I understand correctly?

You cannot really send an ERC20 to an omin address. This transaction will be reject and it won't be completed.

Did you transfer from the exchange to your wallet? From your wallet to the exchange? Which wallet are you using?

We need more details to be able to help you.


If you have the seed to your wallet, and somehow they transfered an OMNI token to your btc address, then you can just import your seed to a wallet that supports OMNI tokens. Coinomi does, for example.

Most likely you sent USDT from bitcoin network to erc20 network. I am not getting why your transaction should be complete since address type is totally different? You need to share from which exchange you sent fund and which wallet are you using. Most likely you are using web wallet and you genarate address from ERC20 protocol, and you have sent fund from bitcoin protocol. If its true then exchange should detect address isn't bitcoin protocol and they should deny transaction.

However you need share more information like transaction details, exchange name and wallet name.

Since Tether is currently available using two different transport protocols (Bitcoin and Ethereum), when users send tethers to other addresses, they need to carefully check the destination address to confirm whether it is in the standard Bitcoin or Ethereum format and select the correct transport protocol.

Thanks Everyone for your suggestions. I contacted the exchange where I exchanged and also the wallet. Finally I got a suggestion that if I use the private key of the ERC20 wallet in the mainnet wallet then I will be able to recover my funds. Will try this.
