How long do I have to wait to transfer crypto from Coinbase to wallet?
The amount of time it takes for Ethereum (ETH) sent from Coinbase to appear in a wallet can vary depending on network conditions, but typically it takes about 10 to 30 minutes.
For US customers, Coinbase uses the ACH bank transfer system for transfers to your bank account. The ACH bank transfer system typically takes 3-5 business days to complete after initiating a sell or withdrawal. Coinbase will deduct the balance from your source of funds and begin the bank transfer immediately.
When you initiate a transaction, we broadcast it to the rest of the network so it can be confirmed. Our nodes may lose sync with the rest of the network for short periods of time, which can cause transactions to remain Pending longer than normal.
Bitcoin's transaction times can vary greatly, ranging anywhere from ten minutes to one day. However, it will usually take between thirty minutes and two hours to complete the process. It is worth keeping in mind that the average transaction time tends to be around one hour.
It takes some time for the transactions to get confirmed on the blockchain and depending on the fees you selected, it may take from 1 minute to several hours. Network congestion also has a big impact on how long you need to wait. If many people are doing transactions right now, it will increase the waiting time.
