I'm wondering what would occur if I accidentally or intentionally sent cryptocurrency to an address that I've already used before. Would the funds be lost, doubled, or something else entirely?

Despite this, reusing addresses does not compromise the security of your funds.

Litecoin (LTC), Dogecoin (DOGE), Bitcoin Cash (BCH), and Cardano (ADA) are examples of cryptocurrencies that generate new addresses every time a previous one is used.
