How to Withdraw Cryptocurrency on Coinbase

Most Americans and many people around the world use Coinbase for their cryptocurrency purchases. However, not all of them keep it there, so today we are going to take a look at how to transfer your cryptocurrency from Coinbase to FTX.

After you find your cryptocurrency of choice, click on the deposit button seen on the screen. This will redirect you to the deposit address pop-up tab.

Depending on whichever network you want to use, click copy on that address. Which network you pick is very important because it decides the fee you will pay. A very clogged and congested blockchain network will cost you a lot and will take some time whereas a cheap and fast one will be much better. Make sure both exchanges support the network, sending from one network to another will result in you losing your cryptocurrencies.

FAQs

Where is My Crypto Deposit❓

You can check on the blockchain explorer websites where your crypto is at any given moment. All you have to do is check your deposit address and see if it is getting any transactions or not. If it is not shown up yet, it means Coinbase hasn’t sent it and will do so soon, if it is on the way then it usually means waiting for the confirmation.

How long does the transfer take❓

This is the part where networks are so important. If you have picked a network that is fast and cheap, then you will get it quickly, but if you picked one that is not a quick one or a congested one then it may take a while. Coinbase is famous for sending cryptocurrencies fastly, so it should still not be too long.

Does Coinbase have crypto withdrawal fees❓

and changes according to the blockchain situation at the time. This is why you will always see how much fee will be charged before you confirm your withdrawal. If you want to learn more about Coinbase fee structure, you could read this article:
