  The difference in the wallet address between the Coinbase app and website is due to the way Coinbase generates addresses for each platform. Coinbase uses a hierarchical deterministic (HD) wallet system, which means that it generates a new address for each transaction to enhance security and privacy. The app and website may use different addresses for different transactions, but all addresses are linked to your Coinbase account. You can use either address to receive cryptocurrencies, and they will be credited to your account.

  The wallet address discrepancy between the Coinbase app and website is a normal occurrence. Coinbase generates a unique address for each transaction to improve security and privacy. This means that the app and website may display different addresses, but both addresses are valid and linked to your Coinbase account. You can safely use either address to receive cryptocurrencies, and they will be credited to your account.

  As an expert in the cryptocurrency industry, I can assure you that the difference in wallet addresses between the Coinbase app and website is intentional and designed to enhance security. Coinbase uses a hierarchical deterministic (HD) wallet system, which generates a new address for each transaction. This ensures that your funds are securely stored and reduces the risk of address reuse. Both the app and website addresses are valid and can be used to receive cryptocurrencies. Rest assured that your funds will be credited to your Coinbase account regardless of which address you use.
