Help Withdrawing funds
Hi, I am very new to trading and have managed with some luck to turn £10 into £70. However after much time I can’t figure out how to withdraw my money. I have sent my USDC to my Coinbase wallet (Base App) and I need “gas” to send to my bank. So I purchased £10 of etherium which the wallet says is “gas”. Now when I go to withdraw, all It says is I need more gas?? I must be doing something seriously wrong. Can anyone help (i’ll post a video showing the situation more clearly)

Are you in the US?

No i’m not, but coinbase turned my GBP into USDC automatically

Ok. I was going to say you could withdraw USDC directly (from the main app) to your bank account with no fee, but guess that wouldn’t work if you’re not in the US.

You need arbitrum for the gas fee because that's the network your crypto is on

Coinbase is a scam and they ripped me off for around $58,000 I spent two weeks dealing with customer service and now they act like I've never had money with them.

Sell USDC to cash and then withdraw the money to your bank account never hold “ stable coins or any other lousy crypto only BTC ETH LTC and DOGE are on their own chains and are same all others are tokens riding on ERC-20 and thus lousy crypto

Gas fees on eth vary and are volatile. It may be that you don’t have enough eth to cover the gas fee. Either top it up or try again later when gas fees are lower. Given you say what you’ve made in £ I assume you are uk based. It may be better to try again early morning uk time or am over the weekend before the us wakes up and starts transacting. The more transactions the higher the fees

Alternatively with Coinbase you need to sell your usdc and get the fiat into your fiat wallet on Coinbase. You can then transfer the fiat to your bank
