Bullish is a crypto exchange. Moving coins off an exchange means you control the private keys, so the address and network must match.
Before you withdraw from Bullish
Bullish must verify who you are before you can send crypto. US anti-money laundering rules require exchanges to check customer identity, and address whitelisting locks withdrawals to addresses you approve.
