Can you send a coin to a different network address?

In most cases, no. If a coin lives on one blockchain, you need an address on that same blockchain to send it. Here are some key points:

• Native XRP can only be sent to an XRP address (often starting with “r...”).
  
  
• ETH and ERC-20 tokens can only be sent to an Ethereum address (0x…).
  
  
• BEP-20 tokens can only be sent to a Binance Smart Chain address (also starts with 0x…, but it’s specifically for BSC).
  
  

Sending a coin to a different blockchain address typically results in a loss of funds, as each blockchain operates independently.
