Understanding asset pages in Phantom
In Phantom on mobile, assets with the same ticker, such as USDC, are grouped into a single asset page. The page shows one default variant and a cumulative balance across all your holdings in this ticker. At the same time, your actual holdings are kept separate under Your Positions.
Your holdings stay separate #
Your holdings don’t change. If you own multiple variants of the same asset, such as USDC on Solana and USDC on Ethereum, they remain separate and are shown under Your Positions on the asset page.
View a position in detail #
To open Position Detail View, tap a position under Your Positions. If you’re already viewing a specific asset variant, tap View [ticker] below the asset name, such as View PSOL.
Position Detail View shows the variant’s price chart and your position details, including position value, return, balance, cost basis, and realized gains or losses. From this screen, you can also send, receive, share, sell, or buy more.
Switch between asset variants #
To view or trade another variant, tap the chevron next to the asset ticker.
How Phantom chooses the default variant #
For major assets on networks we support, like BTC, ETH, and SOL, the default variant is the native version of an asset on its home network.
For assets on networks Phantom doesn't support, we default to the Solana-wrapped version where one exists.
For all other assets, Phantom chooses the default variant based on liquidity, trading activity, and execution quality. Solana variants are generally preferred because they’re easiest to trade within Phantom. However, if another supported network consistently offers a better experience, that variant may become the default instead.
With all assets, you can easily switch between supported variants by tapping the chevron next to the asset ticker.
When the default changes #
Phantom only changes a default variant when it improves the experience for most users. For example, after a bridge improvement, a sustained shift in trading activity, or issues affecting price data or execution quality.
Trade a different variant #
The default variant is the version Phantom highlights throughout the app. You can switch to another supported variant at any time without changing your holdings.
If you want to buy, sell, long, or short a different variant, take these steps:
- Open the asset page.
- Tap the chevron next to the asset ticker.
- Select the variant you want.
- Tap Trade, then choose Buy or Sell to swap, or Long or Short to trade the perps.
FAQ #
Does changing the selected asset change my holdings? #
No. Changing the selected asset only changes which variant is displayed on the asset page. Your holdings stay on their original networks.
Why do I only see one variant in my Tokens list? #
Phantom groups assets by ticker and uses one default variant to represent each asset across the app. If you own multiple variants, you can view them under Your Positions on the asset page or switch between them using the asset selector.
How do I send a specific variant of an asset? #
Or from Home, tap the + button, then tap Send, and after choosing a recipient, pick the specific variant to send.
