### Bitcoin Deposits Only

Glimpse currently accepts Bitcoin deposits only.

If you hold funds in another cryptocurrency or exchange account, you will need to convert them to Bitcoin before depositing into your Glimpse wallet.

For the fastest deposit experience, we recommend using Bitcoin Lightning where available.
