  A pending transaction in cryptocurrency refers to a transaction that has been initiated but has not yet been confirmed by the network. When you send a cryptocurrency transaction, it needs to be verified and added to the blockchain by miners. During this verification process, the transaction is considered pending. Once the transaction is confirmed and added to the blockchain, it is considered complete. The time it takes for a transaction to move from pending to complete can vary depending on the cryptocurrency and network congestion. It's important to note that while a transaction is pending, it can still be reversed or canceled.

  When a transaction is pending in cryptocurrency, it means that the transaction has been broadcasted to the network but has not yet been included in a block. This can happen for various reasons, such as network congestion or low transaction fees. While a transaction is pending, it is not considered final and can be reversed. It's important to wait for a sufficient number of confirmations before considering a transaction as fully completed.
