Just to get this clear... you sent from a Binance USDT address to a Binance BTC address, so neither address is controlled by yourself? Nothing you or anyone else can do to solve that, only Binance can. That's the problem with all centralised exchanges, you can only rely on their support to help you out.

Just contact support (open a ticket), provide all the details of your account and transaction. 25 BTC is a lot of coin to be making careless mistakes like this... I'm sure you'll be more careful.

Just contact with support.

You are lucky (or now)this happened in an exchange. Maybe if you contact support they will help you. But this should be a lessons for you because Binance might and might not give you the money back. You should always be in control of your private keys.

one year ago, i sent SNGLS-coin to a ARDOR-coin address.... it all happened on the poloniex.com exchange
(well, it was not a very large sum of money, but never the less)

my coins were lost, because I sent it to an existing crypto-address




but: earlier in this thread:

i don't understand... so, in case one doesn't controll both addresses, then you can not do anything.
but what, in case when one does controll both addresses, then one can do something? what can he do?

The only thing you can do right now is to contact support. Hopefully, they will reply soon and your issue will be resolved.

Yes, if you have the private key of the receiving address then you can just import it into the correct wallet.
For example if you send BTC to a BCash address, you'll just import the private key of the BCash address into Electrum, or any bitcoin wallet and your bitcoin will show up.

This a very sad scenario for me, i believe there's no remedy for this but in some exchange i believe there will be errors if you are putting a wrong address ex : if the situation suggest a mew add then you put a bitcoin add. a red text will be appearing saying that it's an invalid address. in your case if the transaction is generated i believe there's no way to retrieve your money.

That's the point. It's not a wrong adress. USDT / BTC adresses are generated in the same way, so these adresses are valid on both chains.

n your case if the transaction is generated i believe there's no way to retrieve your money.

Not true. As users above already stated, Binance can choose whether or not to refund you, since they have access to the private key of the wallet the transaction was heading to. It simply depends on their cross-chain recovery policy if they're willing to do so.

It seems that this could take months on their platform, https://support.binance.com/hc/en-us/articles/115003798612-Deposit-Sent-wrong-coins
