How Long Does Bitcoin Wallet Take to Sync?

Assuming you are referring to the initial synchronization of the Bitcoin Core wallet, this process can take up to several days, depending on the speed of your computer and internet connection. The wallet will need to download the entire blockchain, which is currently over 160 GB in size.

However, once the synchronization is complete, subsequent startUPS will only require a few hours at most.

The Bitcoin Core wallet is not the only option available, however. There are a number of so-called “lightweight” wallets that do not need to download the entire blockchain.

These wallets can sync much faster, although they may not have all of the features of Bitcoin Core.
