Transaction processing is one of the longest stages of any crypto operation. The time it takes to complete a transaction depends on the type of crypto and factors like security checks and network congestion.

For example:

  • Bitcoin purchases: up to 2 hours

  • Bitcoin transfers: up to 24 hours

  • Other coins: generally less time

If you buy crypto, you won’t receive it until the transaction is processed. The same applies to transfers — the recipient won’t get their crypto until the transfer is completed.
