A CoinList affiliate manages its own pool of BTC and WBTC, so the process is usually immediate. When demand is high, it is possible that the pool temporarily runs out of BTC or WBTC. If that is the case, the wrapping or unwrapping service will pause until the pool is replenished.
You may choose to hold your funds to be automatically converted when the pool is replenished. This situation is usually addressed within (6) to twenty-four (24) hours.
