Yes, you could save some $ on the Coinbase's fee by selling the BTC into USD on Coinbase Pro before moving it to your bank account. The fee to sell BTC per $1k is around $3-$5 then moving the USD to your bank account is free.
Not much you can do on the Blockchain side. The days of 3cent fees are long gone. Posters on here have said to use Litecoin instead of BTC through a Exdous wallet for a cheaper fee, but I haven't tried it yet.
