Crypto transaction stuck pending
A pending transaction has been broadcast to the network but not yet included in a block. Until it is, nothing has moved and no exchange can credit it — which also means there is nothing for support to find.
Most pending transactions resolve on their own within minutes. A fee set too low during congestion is the usual reason one sits for hours.
What usually causes this
These are the common explanations for this category of problem. Which one applies to your transfer depends on your transaction, the network it used and the destination's deposit rules — that is what the check above works out.
- Network congestion with a fee below the current market rate
- A nonce gap from an earlier stuck transaction on EVM chains
- A replace-by-fee transaction still waiting for a miner
Confirmations required, platform by platform
The same transfer is 'not yet confirmed enough' at one platform and long since credited at another, because the threshold is a business decision rather than a property of the network. Comparing them is the quickest way to see whether your wait is normal.

Questions
Should I resend the transaction?
No. If both eventually confirm, you have sent twice. Use your wallet's speed-up or replace-by-fee feature instead, which replaces rather than duplicates.
Can a pending transaction be cancelled?
On EVM chains you can sometimes replace it with a higher-fee transaction to yourself using the same nonce. On Bitcoin it depends on whether it was marked replaceable.
