Quick answer: Bitget’s cheapest ETC network (ETC) needs 1,000 confirmations — the highest count this site has recorded for any network; the BEP20 route needs about 17× fewer, at a fee about 2.4× higher.
The fee gap between ETC’s two networks moves with each chain’s own costs — about 2.4× as this page was last built, covered in Bitget’s ETC fee breakdown. The confirmation gap barely moves at all, and it is the widest tracked anywhere on this site: 1,000 against 60.
| Network | Withdrawal fee | Confirmations |
|---|---|---|
| BEP20Fastest | 0.019557 ETC | 60 |
| ETCCheapest | 0.008 ETC | 1,000 |
The trade-off
ETC is the cheaper route — but Bitget waits 1,000 confirmations before crediting it, by far the highest confirmation requirement on this entire site. BEP20 confirms about 17× faster, at just 60 confirmations, for a fee about 2.4× higher.
Which side of that is worth taking depends on how much you’re moving, and on how far apart the two fees sit on the day you move it. The wait is the fixed part of this comparison — the saving is not, so check the current figures rather than assuming.
When this actually matters
On a small withdrawal, BEP20 is usually the sensible pick: the absolute saving from going native is a fraction of an ETC, and the wait is roughly 17× longer. On a larger one, work out what the 2.4× fee difference actually costs you before paying it to avoid the wait.
