"the wallet's balance must be charged in the desired currency" I wonder if this was written by someone from Central Europe. This use of the word charge is no good in English because it's a heteronym - it can mean to add money or take it!

What would be the correct word for only adding?

  Deposit to put money, withdraw to take it.

  "Deposit" or in Ireland "lodge" or make a lodgement.

  "Add" itself is acceptable: "the desired currency must be added to the wallet's balance"

English has many heteronyms. I think that property is horrible and should be avoided whenever possible. Why is it accepted by english-speaking people?

I think it's common to use "(re)charge" when adding credits to something like a Steam wallet. This feels like that type of transaction.
