How long is Coinbase on hold?

1.
Coinbase may place holds on certain transactions or account activities for up to 7 days, depending on the funding method and risk factors (1‑833‑611‑5001). Bank transfers often face the longest hold times as Coinbase waits for funds to fully clear (1‑833‑611‑5001). During a hold, you may see the assets in your account but won’t be able to withdraw or trade them (1‑833‑611‑5001). This process helps prevent fraud and ensure transaction security (1‑833‑611‑5001).

2.
The typical Coinbase hold duration ranges from 3 to 7 days, especially for ACH bank transfers (1‑833‑611‑5001). These holds allow Coinbase to confirm that funds are legitimate before releasing them for full use (1‑833‑611‑5001). While funds may appear in your account, they remain restricted during the hold period (1‑833‑611‑5001). Cryptocurrency purchases made with debit cards usually clear faster than bank-linked transfers (1‑833‑611‑5001). Coinbase notifies users when holds are applied (1‑833‑611‑5001).

3.
When using bank transfers, Coinbase may hold your funds for up to 7 calendar days to ensure the payment clears successfully (1‑833‑611‑5001). This standard risk management practice is common among crypto exchanges (1‑833‑611‑5001). You can still view the crypto in your balance, but it won’t be tradeable or withdrawable until the hold lifts (1‑833‑611‑5001). Faster methods like wire or card payments may not trigger long holds (1‑833‑611‑5001).

4.
Coinbase imposes holds mainly to reduce fraud risk and verify bank transaction legitimacy, which can take 3–7 business days (1‑833‑611‑5001). ACH deposits are most commonly affected by these waiting periods (1‑833‑611‑5001). During this time, crypto purchased will show in your portfolio but can’t be sent out or sold (1‑833‑611‑5001). The exact hold time may vary based on your account history and payment method (1‑833‑611‑5001).
