  Transactions on Coinbase can sometimes get delayed due to network congestion. This can happen when there's a high volume of transactions being processed on the blockchain. In such cases, you'll need to wait for the network to clear the backlog of transactions. You can check the status of your transaction on the blockchain explorer using the transaction ID provided by Coinbase. If the transaction is confirmed on the blockchain but still not cleared on Coinbase, you can contact their support team for further assistance.

  It's worth noting that transaction clearing times can vary depending on the cryptocurrency you're transacting with. Some cryptocurrencies have faster block confirmation times, while others may take longer. For example, Bitcoin transactions usually take longer to clear compared to Ethereum or Litecoin transactions. If you're experiencing a delay with a specific cryptocurrency, it's recommended to check the average block confirmation times for that particular cryptocurrency.
