Bitcoin Withdrawals

Definition

Bitcoin withdrawals refer to the process of moving Bitcoin from a centralized exchange or platform to a user’s personal cryptocurrency wallet. This action transfers ownership of Bitcoin from the exchange’s control to the individual’s control, typically to an address where the user holds the private keys. Withdrawals are fundamental to asserting self-custody over digital assets and often involve network transaction fees. They represent a movement of assets off trading platforms and onto the blockchain itself.
