Hey everyone, I've been using the blockchain.com wallet for years, receiving crypto without a hitch. But recently, I noticed something weird. Up until the 6th, my BTC deposits looked good, but now when I try to send some funds, it only shows like $30 available. I checked on the web version too, and the balance looks fine, but the available amount is off.

Have you thought about importing your seed phrase into Electrum? That should let you access your coins without issues. Just a heads up, though, that wallet isn't open-source. Might be a good idea to create a new seed phrase on Electrum later and ditch the blockchain.com wallet.

I saw someone had the same issue and fixed it by importing their BIP39 mnemonic into Electrum, just like what Charles-Tim suggested. You might want to try that too.

Honestly, your message is a bit confusing. So, you want to send the $30 showing in Blockchain.com, but it won't let you? If that's right, try importing your wallet seed into Electrum and handling the transaction yourself. No need to wait for blockchain.com support.

That helped someone else with a similar issue, but their problem was about high transaction fees. I haven't been on blockchain.com in a while, but I read there's two account types. Make sure your balance is in the DeFi Wallet and you can extract the private key.

Hey all, Thanks for the help, sorry for the late reply! We managed to fix our issue by moving to Electrum. Really appreciate everyone pitching in!

Glad you got it sorted! Just remember, don’t stick with the seed phrase from blockchain.com, even after moving to Electrum. Best to create a new wallet and transfer everything there. Electrum is open-source and has a good reputation.
