Check the Transaction Status
One of the reasons your trade may not be completed quickly is that the blockchain is taking time to confirm your trade. This could be due to mempool congestion. In this instance, you can check your Bitcoin transaction status. Doing this lets you gather more information about your transaction and where it is on the blockchain.
