  Once you purchase Bitcoin on Coinbase, there is typically a waiting period of 3-5 business days before you can send it to another wallet. This waiting period is due to the security measures in place to prevent fraud and unauthorized transactions. During this time, Coinbase verifies the transaction and ensures that the funds are available. Once the waiting period is over, you can freely send your Bitcoin to any wallet of your choice.
