There are 2 types of Bitcoin withdrawals, Standard and Lightning Network withdrawals

Standard (On-chain):

Standards withdrawals are dependent on the congestion of the network. Confirmation of withdrawal can be as soon as 10 minutes to a few hours. You can track your withdrawal by clicking Activity on your dashboard. From there, find and select your Bitcoin withdrawal and click on the "On-chain" tag at the top of the module to track your confirmations:

Note: You can choose to either withdraw via standard (on-chain) Bitcoin withdrawals immediately or schedule your withdrawals to process Monday at 11:30 UTC.

 Lightning Network: 

When you initiate a Lightning withdrawal, your Bitcoin will be in your Lightning Network wallet account immediately
