Bitcoin new address for every transaction

Bitcoin automatically generate a new address for you after every transaction you make or when funds are moved between your wallet and our storage system. This is done to protect your privacy, so that a third-party cannot view all other transactions associated with your account simply by using a blockchain explorer.

Do you need a new Bitcoin address for every transaction?

Your address for Bitcoin and Bitcoin-based crypto assets changes every time you receive a transaction. For other crypto assets (Ethereum, XRP, Stellar, etc.) the address stays the same. Bitcoin transactions are public information.

Why does Bitcoin generate new address?

To protect your privacy, the Bitcoin.com wallet generates a new address every time you receive funds. Note that all old addresses are securely saved in your wallet, so you can still receive payments to an old address generated by your Bitcoin.com wallet.

Why does my wallet address keep changing?

Each public bitcoin/bitcoin cash address your wallet generates stems from your wallet's xPub (or Extended Public Key). Once a public address receives an incoming payment, a new address will automatically be generated and display when you click on Request.
