Deposit to exchange
Most exchanges require you to enter a memo to identify your account when depositing. Carefully follow the deposit instructions of your exchange. Make sure you use the right Memo Type and enter the Memo exactly as instructed.
When you send funds from an exchange to a Ledger Stellar account, you don't need a memo. You can enter a random number.
You can learn more about the memo tags here.
Adding Stellar tokens in Ledger Live
Starting from Ledger Live Desktop 2.45 and Ledger Live Mobile 3.5 it becomes possible to manage Stellar token USDC directly in Ledger Live. First, you need to add a trust line for the USDC token. You can do that in Ledger Live.
Adding trust line
- On your XLM account page in Ledger Live, click Add asset.
- Choose an asset: USDC and click Continue (make sure your Ledger device is connected to your PC and the Stellar app is open).
- Review the transaction on the Ledger device and in Ledger Live and confirm.
- Once the transaction was broadcasted, you can start to send and receive USDC on your XLM account.
- Once you receive your USDC, it will appear as a token on the XLM parent account
