So, and this doesn't answer the one million dollar question. I recently liquidated a much smaller amount (in the thousands ) of Bitcoin. Using Kraken (no affliation) it probably took me about a month from transferring my btc from My private wallet to them, to having the ability to finally transfer to my bank account. This was largely due to the verification time, and some issues with the verification photo. Once it was all setup the process was quick and painless.
