The time it takes for bitcoin to appear in your Bitkey wallet depends on the exchange or platform you're sending it from.
- Some exchanges process transactions immediately, and you'll see the bitcoin in your wallet almost right away.
- Others may batch transactions—processing them every hour or even once a day. In those cases, your bitcoin won’t appear in Bitkey until the transaction is broadcast to the Bitcoin network.
Because each platform has its own process, we recommend checking with your exchange to understand their processing times and policies.
Once the transaction is detected on the network, it will show in your Bitkey wallet as pending until it is confirmed on the blockchain.
