  One way to minimize the fees when sending BTC on Coinbase is to use a SegWit address. SegWit, short for Segregated Witness, is a Bitcoin improvement protocol that reduces the size of transactions, resulting in lower fees. By using a SegWit address, you can save on transaction costs and make your BTC transfers more cost-effective.

  Another strategy to reduce fees when sending BTC on Coinbase is to choose the right time to make your transaction. Bitcoin transaction fees can vary depending on network congestion. During times of high demand, fees tend to be higher. To minimize fees, consider monitoring the network congestion and making your transaction during periods of lower demand.

  To minimize fees when sending BTC on Coinbase, you can also consolidate your inputs. When you receive BTC from multiple sources, each transaction input adds to the overall transaction size and increases the fees. By consolidating your inputs into a single transaction, you can reduce the size and lower the fees.

  Consider using a Bitcoin transaction accelerator if you need your transaction to be confirmed quickly. These services prioritize your transaction by including it in a block with higher fees. While this may result in slightly higher fees, it can be useful if you're in a hurry to have your BTC transaction confirmed.
