How long does it take to buy/sell cryptocurrency on Coinbase?

Asked a year ago
The time it takes to buy or sell cryptocurrency on Coinbase may vary depending on multiple factors. For purchases made using a debit card, the process is usually instant, with the cryptocurrency being available for use immediately. However, bank transfers typically take longer, as they involve multiple confirmations to ensure the transaction is secure. Generally, bank transfers can take up to 5 business days for the funds to reflect in your Coinbase account, but this timeframe may vary based on your location and banking provider. Selling cryptocurrency on Coinbase is typically a quick process, with funds being deposited into your linked bank account within 1-3 business days. It's important to note that cryptocurrency transactions are subject to market volatility, and the timing of the transaction may affect the final price received.
