What are the crypto withdrawal limits, fees, and times?
Crypto withdrawals on Paribu have three technical parameters: limits, fees, and times. Each varies depending on the asset you withdraw, the network you select, and your account status. You can find all three under a single heading in this guide.
What are the crypto withdrawal limits?
There is no specific withdrawal limit for most crypto assets on Paribu; under legal regulations, limits only apply to stablecoins. There is no daily or monthly withdrawal limit for non-stable crypto assets such as BTC, ETH, and SOL. On the deposit side, no limit applies to any asset including stablecoins; all users who complete account verification can deposit without limits.
Stablecoin withdrawal limits
Withdrawals of stablecoins such as USDT and USDC are subject to limits under legal regulations:
| Period | Limit |
|---|---|
| Daily | 6,000 USD equivalent |
| Monthly | 100,000 USD equivalent |
The limit value is calculated based on the current USD rate at the time of the withdrawal.
Note: Stablecoin limits apply to all crypto asset service providers under the regulations in force.
Account verification and limits
You cannot make crypto withdrawals before completing your account verification. Once verification is completed, no limit is applied to non-stable assets; only the stablecoin limits above remain in effect.
In addition, under legal regulations there is a 48 hour waiting period after every purchase or deposit; on the account's first crypto withdrawal this period is 72 hours. For details, see the article What are the 72 and 48 hour waiting periods?.
How are crypto withdrawal fees calculated?
Internal transfers between Paribu users are completed free of charge. For withdrawals to external platforms or independent wallets, a network fee is applied. This fee is charged not by Paribu but by the blockchain network; the amount varies depending on the network you select and network congestion.
Fee types
- Internal transfer (within Paribu): Free, instant. Transfers sent to a Paribu user by phone number, email address, or wallet address
- External transfer: Network fee applies. Valid for withdrawals to another platform or independent wallet
What determines the network fee?
The network fee is determined dynamically based on the current transaction volume of the blockchain network. For example, the Ethereum (ERC-20) network charges higher fees during peak hours, while the Tron (TRC-20) network generally operates with lower fees. Withdrawing the same asset (e.g., USDT) over different networks results in different fees; selecting the right network is an important cost factor.
You can see the current fee next to the selected network on the withdrawal screen during the withdrawal.
Note: If you are sending to a Paribu user, choose internal transfer; the transaction is completed free of charge and instantly.
How long do crypto transfers take?
Internal transfers between Paribu users are completed instantly. For transfers to external platforms or independent wallets, the duration depends on the confirmation time of the selected network and current network congestion. Most transactions are completed within a few seconds to half an hour.
Factors affecting transfer time
- Network type: Each blockchain network has a different average block time. Solana (SOL) is confirmed within seconds, while on the Bitcoin (BTC) network the confirmation time can be 10-30 minutes
- Network congestion: As the number of active transactions on the blockchain increases, confirmation times grow longer
- Confirmation count: The recipient platform may wait for a certain number of network confirmations before reflecting the transaction in your account
- Network fee: On some networks, transactions paying higher fees are processed with priority
Tracking transfer status
After you confirm your withdrawal, a TX code (transaction hash) is generated on your transaction screen. With this code, you can track the status of your transfer through the blockchain explorer of the related network.
Warning: A lower network fee does not always mean a faster transaction. When the network is congested, transactions paying lower fees may be queued during processing.
The same logic applies to deposit transactions; once the transaction submitted to the blockchain by the sending platform is confirmed by the network, the amount is credited to your Paribu account.
Frequently asked questions
How is the crypto withdrawal limit determined?
For non-stable crypto assets, no limit applies to any user who has completed account verification. For stablecoins (USDT, USDC, etc.), a daily 6,000 USD and monthly 100,000 USD equivalent ceiling applies to all users. This limit is applied under the regulations in force.
Why does Paribu not set the network fee?
A crypto transfer is a transaction performed not by Paribu but by the relevant blockchain network. The network fee is paid to the miners or validators who write your transaction to the blockchain and is set by the network. Paribu only forwards the transaction to the network.
Why does the same asset have different fees on different networks?
Each blockchain network has a different fee structure. For example, USDT can be withdrawn over Ethereum (ERC-20), Tron (TRC-20), and BNB Smart Chain (BEP-20). The Ethereum network generally applies high fees, while the Tron network applies low fees. Before sending, check which network the recipient supports and select the appropriate network.
Why does the withdrawal sometimes arrive late?
Network congestion, the confirmation time of the selected network, and the number of confirmations awaited by the recipient platform affect transfer time. Withdrawals approved by Paribu are forwarded directly to the network; the subsequent process is in the network's control. With your TX code, you can track the live status through the blockchain explorer.
Is there a minimum crypto withdrawal amount?
The minimum withdrawal amount varies by asset and is shown on the withdrawal screen when the related asset is selected. The system does not allow transactions whose amount is so small that it falls below the network fee.
