What is a GRT address? It would be helpful if you posted the address, or at least an example of a GRT address that has the same format.

Yes, GRT (The Graph) is an Ethereum cryptocurrency. Thank you chytrik and user253751 for responding. I also called Coinbase and the representative told me that it will likely get lost if I tried to send GRT to a BTC wallet but he said I would still be able to see the transaction. Sure, the money is lost in cyberspace, but I could still see it. That's what I was told. Does this make sense? chytrik the wallet address for my GRT is 0x609E0c2B8bb34AbE708201bD106D6E57265e0ce1.

GRT/Ethereum addresses are nothing like BTC addresses. This doesn't make sense - you can't just send BTC to something that isn't a BTC address.

Pieter Wuille, that's how I understand it too, but Coinbase said I can still see that someone attempted to send BTC via a GRT/Ehereum address vice versa... they said I can track it/see it but it's not retrievable. Does that make sense? The only reason I keep asking is because I'm second guessing what Coinbase told me. Thanks in advance for input!

That makes no sense whatsoever, unless they're talking about some kind of wrapped BTC on ethereum. In any case, I believe any of that would be off topic here.
