  The time it takes for a cryptocurrency transaction to stop pending can vary depending on several factors. Generally, it can take anywhere from a few minutes to a few hours. This delay is due to the verification process that occurs on the blockchain network. Once the transaction is broadcasted to the network, it needs to be confirmed by the miners. The confirmation time can be affected by the network congestion, transaction fees, and the specific cryptocurrency being used. It's important to note that some cryptocurrencies have faster block times and lower fees, which can result in quicker transaction confirmations.

  Ah, the waiting game of pending cryptocurrency transactions! It can be a bit frustrating, but fear not, my friend. The average time it takes for a cryptocurrency transaction to stop pending is usually around 10-30 minutes. However, it's important to remember that this can vary depending on the network congestion and the transaction fees you've set. If the network is busy with a lot of transactions, it might take longer for your transaction to be confirmed. So, sit tight and keep an eye on your transaction. It'll be out of pending status before you know it!
