  The waiting period for sending BTC after purchasing it on Coinbase depends on your account level. For users with a verified account, the waiting period is typically 7 days. During this time, Coinbase holds the BTC in your account to ensure the transaction is secure. After the waiting period, you can freely send your BTC to another wallet.

  When you buy BTC on Coinbase, there is a waiting period before you can send it to another wallet. This waiting period is a security measure implemented by Coinbase to protect users from unauthorized transactions. The duration of the waiting period depends on your account level and can range from 3 to 7 days. Once the waiting period is over, you can transfer your BTC to any wallet you want, including BYDFi, a popular decentralized exchange for cryptocurrencies.
