How do I move Solana meme coins to another chain without selling them first
You cannot move Solana meme coins to another chain without selling them first. The blockchain networks are separate environments, and a token on Solana simply does not exist on Ethereum, BNB Chain, or any other chain.

You send from your own wallet straight to the exchanger — nothing to connect, no account, and you stay on this page throughout. Rates are indicative until a swap is opened.
The swap is carried out by an independent exchanger and the deposit address above is theirs. mycoin.hk never holds, receives or controls your funds, has no key to that address, and earns a referral commission. Opening a swap sends your receiving address, IP, browser and timezone to the exchanger for their compliance checks; we store none of it. Check their terms, fees and country restrictions before sending anything.
The reason is structural. A meme coin on Solana is a program-owned token account living on the Solana ledger. Another chain, say Ethereum, has its own ledger with its own token contracts. No mechanism exists to "send" a Solana token to an Ethereum address any more than you can mail a bitcoin to a Solana address. The two systems do not share a database.
What people mean when they talk about bridging is a two-step process: sell the Solana token for a stablecoin or wrapped asset, then buy the equivalent token on the target chain. The middle step is the sale. There is no way around it.
The exchanger that this site routes swaps through handles exactly that sequence. You tell it you want to move a Solana meme coin to another chain. It sells the meme coin for USDC on Solana, moves the USDC across the bridge (which is a separate mechanism that locks tokens on one side and mints them on the other), then buys the meme coin again on the destination chain using the bridged USDC. From your perspective you receive a token on the new chain. From the system's perspective you sold and bought.
This matters because the price you get is the price of two swaps, not one. You pay the spread on selling the meme coin into USDC on Solana, then the spread on buying the meme coin from USDC on the destination chain. The exchanger quotes a combined rate. You can compare that rate against the alternative: selling the meme coin on a Solana DEX for USDC, bridging the USDC yourself via a separate bridge, then buying the meme coin on a DEX on the other chain. Sometimes the exchanger is cheaper because it internalises the bridge cost. Sometimes a DEX gives a better price. It depends on the pair, the liquidity, and the network fees at that moment.
There is also a practical risk. Meme coins on Solana are volatile. If you initiate a swap that sells the meme coin, the price can move during the few seconds it takes the exchanger to execute. The quote you see is not guaranteed to be the final rate if the market shifts before the transaction lands. Most exchangers protect against this by giving a short lock period, but the lock is not infinite.
If you want to understand how the bridge part works once the sale is done, read the hub page "Using an exchanger to bridge Solana assets across chains". It explains the distinction between the swap step and the bridge step in more detail.
For your immediate question: no, you cannot move a Solana meme coin to another chain without selling it. The sale is mandatory. The only choice is who sells it for you and at what price.
