Hey everyone,
I've been using the blockchain.com wallet for crypto payments for years without any issues. However, this month I've run into a problem. Up until the 6th, everything looked normal with my BTC deposits, but now when I try to send some BTC from my wallet, it's only showing about $30 as available. The balance looks fine and I see $0 in hold funds, so all my BTC is showing correctly. I even tried checking it through the web version instead of the Android app, but I get the same result funds look good in the wallet, but the available amount is almost zero when I attempt to send.
Has anyone else faced this? I've already reached out to blockchain.com through their support system.
Appreciate any help!
Issue with available funds in Blockchain.com BTC wallet

Import your seed phrase on Electrum and you should be able to spend your coins.
Know that the wallet is close source. It would be good if you later created new seed phrase on Electrum and stop using Blockchain.com wallet.
Official Electrum download site: https://electrum.org/
The derivation path for bc1 addresses is Segwit P2WPKH.
Someone just get this same issue fixed recently and it's related to blockchain all he had to do was import is BIP39 mnemonic phrase into his Electrum wallet just as Charles-Tim replied

It's really hard, at least for me, to understand this sentence and your issue.
Assume your balance in that Blockchain.com wallet is $30, and you want to send it, your issue is you can not send it with Blockchain.com wallet, assume I understand your issue correctly.
You can import your Blockchain's wallet seed to Electrum wallet and broadcast transaction by yourself. No need to ask support from Blockchain.com.
[Guide] Use CPFP if your stucked transactions from blockchain.com walletChoose different types of wallet will give OP different wallets and different sets of receiving addresses. Try with each of 3 wallet types and see what is your wallet that has $30 in bitcoin inside.
When you already get your wallet, read another topic to broadcast your transaction.

This solved a different problem which was that the balance is there but the transaction fees are high and because blockchain.com buggy you cant send from that wallet.
I haven't used blockchain.com for a while but according to this article https://support.blockchain.com/hc/en-us/articles/9042429259420-Can-I-get-the-private-key-for-my-Blockchain-com -Account It seems that there are two types of accounts. Make sure that your balance is in Blockchain.com DeFi Wallet, and then extract the private key.

Good thing you were able to follow the instructions and get your issue solved, one last thing, i hope you are no longer using the seed phrase generated in your blockchain.com wallet, even if you have imported it into Electrum, it is still not recommended. Create a new wallet, and send all your funds into the wallet created in Electrum, that is a much safer option, because Electrum is open source and well reviewed.
