Then, go to Coinbase and initiate a withdrawal to the address you just generated. Make sure to double-check the address to avoid any mistakes. Once the withdrawal is confirmed, your Bitcoin will be transferred to your Electrum wallet. Remember to keep your private keys secure and consider using a hardware wallet for added security.
