BUSD to BNB approved but dont appear in metamask (2024)

FAQs

Why is my BNB not showing on MetaMask? ›

It may be that the transaction is not complete yet. Check on a block explorer. Are you on the correct network? If you sent the token on an EVM-compatible network that you can use in MetaMask (e.g. BNB Smart Chain, Polygon, Avalanche C-Chain, etc.), simply change networks in MetaMask.

If a token isn't appearing in your dashboard, it may be because it is not on a supported network, or isn't a supported token on one of those networks. (Currently supported networks include Ethereum mainnet, Polygon, BNB Chain, Avalanche, OP Mainnet, Arbitrum, Fantom, and Linea).

There are two potential reasons why your tokens may not be appearing where you expect them to: You sent to a contract address. Smart contracts on Ethereum and EVM-compatible networks have their own addresses, and they are easily mistakeable for regular wallet addresses. You pasted in the wrong address.

To add BUSD token to your MetaMask click on “Import Tokens”. Now click on “Import Tokens” and you will see BUSD added to the list of tokens in your MetaMask wallet.

If your transaction is not visible on the block explorer, but is still showing as pending in MetaMask, you should first try restarting your browser. This can sometimes clear your transaction queue. If this doesn't work, you may need to reset your account.

BNB Smart Chain is already configured as a popular network in MetaMask, so adding it is straightforward. Click 'Add network' and head to the 'Add popular networks' area (instructions here). From here, adding it to MetaMask should only take a few clicks or taps.

Check if there is a power connection

You should check the meter boxes to ensure that there is power. If there is, the meter should blink red. If no light is in the meter box, this should be ruled out as a power outage.

Hiding assets of both kinds is completely reversible. To unhide tokens, go to your 'Tokens' view and click on the 'More' button, next to the 'Networks' selector, on the right-hand side. From there, click on 'View hidden tokens'.

Troubleshooting common issues with USDT in MetaMask

If USDT does not appear after adding, one should verify that the correct USDT contract address has been entered. Any error in the address can prevent the token from showing up in the wallet. Sometimes, a simple refresh of the wallet interface can help.

Make sure you are on the correct network in MetaMask. When you open your MetaMask, click the little downwards arrow that's just before your account and switch to the network that you need to see the balance for. MetaMask is pulling the account balance through an endpoint of a blockchain node that has the network state.

How long does it take for funds to show up in MetaMask? ›

Instant wallet funding

Your account balance is updated automatically in MetaMask once the purchase is executed with the provider. Now, you no longer have to wait to send money from a centralized exchange over to MetaMask.

MetaMask is not a bank, and it is not a custodial wallet — in other words, we do not keep any of your data. This is an essential security feature built into the nature of blockchain technology. You are the custodian of your funds.

Yes, you can. Adding BUSD to MetaMask is a simple process that involves searching for the coin on the wallet and importing it. However, if you can't find BUSD on MetaMask, add the coin's token address to the wallet.

To unhide tokens, go to your 'Tokens' view and click on the 'More' button, next to the 'Networks' selector, on the right-hand side. From there, click on 'View hidden tokens'. Click on the 'Token actions' menu, next to the token you want to unhide, and select 'Unhide'.

This error message can be prompted because: You are using the wrong token address. Check here for guidance on how to find it. MetaMask needs to be updated to the latest version.
