Phantom Wallet BTC address issue fixed

Hey everyone, I’ve got a few Phantom Wallets and they support BTC too. But since I sent Bitcoin to one of them, the app just won’t load anymore. All my other addresses are working fine, it’s just the one linked to the BTC transaction that’s acting up. Anyone else run into this problem or know how to fix it?

Did you have access to the phrase of those wallets that you connected to your phantom wallet? Or you made use of the email account creation option? Have you also tried updating the app to the latest version to see if it's a technical issue? An app update can fix some of those, but if it doesn't work, I will advise you to try importing your wallet using another secured device—that's if you have more than one. But by the way, why do you make use of a phantom wallet to store bitcoin when there are other bitcoin-only wallets instead of using multiple coins to support a wallet?

It is the first time sending BTC to an external wallet. Normally, I'm using EVM and Solana more. I will try importing into another wallet do you have recommendations?

I don't us Phantom wallet too much but I had little experience with it, so I knew that Phantom wallet is a multi-cryptocurrency wallet. With my limited experience with Phantom wallet, I can not help you resolving your issues, but here is my advice. IMO it is never good idea to use multi-coin wallets to store your bitcoin. You can use such wallets to store altcoins, but for storing your bitcoin, choose a wallet which is designed for Bitcoin, only for Bitcoin. https://bitcoin.org/en/choose-your-wallet https://learnmeabitcoin.com/beginners/wallets/#best-wallets

You can use that Bitcoin address' private key instead. Using the seed phrase poses a greater risk since it involves your whole wallet. To do that, go to your Phantom Wallet's "Manage Account" window. (if using the extension, click your account circle icon at the upper-left, then the pencil icon below) Click the account where that Bitcoin Address is included, then click "Show Private Key". Type your password, read and accept the warnings then click "Next". Select your Bitcoin Address (check if it's correct), then copy the private key and be sure to keep it safe since anyone can be used spend your Bitcoins with it. To import, pick a reputable Bitcoin client (e.g.: Electrum). In Electrum, create a new wallet by selecting "Import Bitcoin Addresses or Private keys" instead of "Standard". Then, in the next window, paste your private key appended with p2wpkh: to tell Electrum to derive the Native SegWit address from it. e.g.: Finish Creating the wallet and wait for a few seconds to sync and your Bitcoins should show if it's actually in the Bitcoin Network. You can spend using that wallet as well, use the send tab. (since you're using a hot wallet, there shouldn't be any advantage of importing to Cold-storage) But if you want, you can import and spend it like this: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5524213.msg64885706#msg64885706

Have you sent your BTC to Phantom wallet using the Taproot BTC address? If it's taproot the P2TR script type when importing to Electrum doesn't work it seems that Electrum doesn't support taproot yet. I don't know if there's another wallet that support P2TR. But if you sent your BTC to native segwit the method above should be work. I tried a few wallets it seems bitget wallet support taproot so you can try importing your taproot private key from Phatom wallet to Bitget wallet.
