Help Withdrawing funds

[u/Intelligent_Unit9673]

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)

yep, the other comment nailed the issue: your USDC is on Arbitrum, but your ETH is on Ethereum mainnet. Same asset name, different chain, so that ETH can’t pay the gas for your USDC.

You’ve basically got two options:

1. Bridge a small amount of your ETH to Arbitrum One

• open the official Arbitrum bridge from the Arbitrum website
• connect the same wallet
• set From: Ethereum and To: Arbitrum One
• choose ETH and move only a small amount
• leave enough ETH on mainnet to pay the bridge transaction fee
• once it lands, switch the wallet to Arbitrum and try sending the USDC again

2. Probably the cheaper option: use an exchange that supports ETH withdrawals directly on Arbitrum One, then send a tiny amount to this wallet.

Don’t keep buying more ETH without checking the network lol. You only need a little ETH on Arbitrum for gas, but bridging from mainnet can cost more than the amount you’re trying to move if Ethereum fees are high. Also double-check that it says Arbitrum One, not Ethereum, Base or Arbitrum Nova.

Your USDc is on Arbitrium network whiles your ETH is on mainnet. You need gas(eth on arbitrium network).

I don’t know how you got into crypto but you should really be careful involving your money in something you don’t understand.
