All crypto lost during wallet transfer

All Cryptocurrencies

I started purchasing crypto in May 2021. I stuck to ETH and BTC almost exclusively and started out on Binance. After a short time I decided to move to BlockFi and transferred my assets there.

I held and purchased more over time in BlockFi. Of course after FTX BlockFi went bankrupt. After a year or so BlockFi let me withdraw from my Wallet into another Wallet. So I created a transfer in Binance on 11/21/23 - one for ETH and one for BTC.

I performed the transfers and got co formation from the BlockFi end. But the coins never showed up in Binance. So I now have nothing in either my BlockFi nor my Binance wallet. Basically I lost 3.8 ETH and 0.5 BTC, after BlockFi took the transfer fee, but nothing ever showed up.

I know this is lost now. But what the hell happened? Does anyone have any insight? And do I have any recourse (I assume not)?

This is so incredibly frustrating. It’s no wonder crypto is in a limbo and I see why some think it never will pick up. While this may by my own fault it really shouldn’t have been this difficult to make a transfer.

Thanks for reading and for any advice you can give me

Edit: follow-up -

After some very nice redditors helped me realize the addresses of the wallets were not Binance, I reached out to my son (who is away at the moment hence I hadn’t been able to speak to him earlier) and he reminded me we set up an account on Trust. I didn’t remember this as I had only used Binance and BlockFi on my own. But I was able to log in to Trust and confirm my transfers occurred.

So yes, totally my fault. Thanks for the kind ones out there who helped me quell my anxiety about this! Lots of lessons learned.
