my BTC withdrawal on bittrex is pending for 25 minutes (status "authorized").
 Is this normal?
 :o

Update: of course a minute after I published this thread money went through. I still believe it is too much time. I hope it was a temporary delay.

As long as it is authorized it will go threw eventually . But on a side note there is strange thing happening today ,  A couple of trading groups I am in sent out a message advice people to upgrade there account on bittrex and make sure to enter correct information I tried to google and see if anything happening but I couldn't find anything . But that is not related to what you posted I got this Authorized a lot of time and it usually go threw in 30 min max .

At first you should check the withdrawal address if it's correct you no need to worry about it. Bittrex is a trusted exchange so don't worry about it anymore. As I know there are something happening and it make Bitcoin trasaction take longer to receive confirm. If you don't want to wait no more longer why don't you try to use Transaction Accelerator on Viabtc

Am starting to dislike Bittrex since when they started asking for all of the documents in the name of "Extended verification", even if you do that, they will hold your verification for like a month. Its better to shift to some other exchange.

I've never had the same issue with Bittrex. I got rid of my Bitcoin cash using Bittrex and I have used it to invest in a couple of altcoins as well. So far, I've really had no hiccups. I've just had to put in some personal info once for the verification. Since then, nothing.

think 25 minutes is not a long time , you have to calm down to attract something bittrex that has been trusted and has long been trusted , you dont need to worry contact support is working 24 hours , some of my friends including me trading there , now bittrex has made a strict exchange by verifying the user's document , the policy creates a deep belief in bittrex

I use bittrex for a long time.But it actually takes upto 5 minutes.You told that your balance pending for 25 minutes. Maybe this is normal.It's their technical problem.Also they can pending this if you don't verify your bittrex.Hope you will receive your balance soon.

It's indeed annoying when you're forced to hand over your documents, but this is something you can't avoid in current days where exchanges are changing their terms and in some cases require people, while they aren't aware of that, to re-verify themselves. I had that once with Bitstamp - they asked my to re-verify myself while I was already fully verified. It gladly only took a few working days back then, but nowadays things have changed quite a bit, where it's more often than not a frequent occurence that people end up waiting a week or two, or more in some cases. It's ridiculous, but that's what we get when signing up at centralized exchange platforms - as long as you are using their platoform, people have to go with their terms.

It seems a problem for everyone of us that they are looking for more verification which is I really don't like it either, it annoys me too and I know the feeling of you have to wait a longer time even though you'll comply with their requirements.


I'm a patient person but after complying to their regulation and passing the requirements needed for that extended verification this is also a delay for me though sometimes I'm understanding what's really happening. They only have to be transparent with their clients.

It's not about slow Bitcoin transaction. OP complaining that it takes too much time until Bittrex approve and send btc withdrawal. Maybe they are doing something like manual check. I didn't made btc withdrawals from Bittrex recently and I'm not sure that little OP issue is usual thing.

Since my last message from 5 days ago, no more issues for me with Bittrex.

Thanks for the help guys.
