Coinbase Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Josselin Caër | Ledger (@s44ocg) reportedCould you confirm whether Coinbase is getting stuck on the wallet-ownership verification when you try to send BTC from your Ledger, and are you seeing any specific error message on that screen?
-
John Haar (@jhaarblockware) reported@imgislost @BitcoinMagazine @coinbase It's basically a BTC-backed loan to fund the down payment. The benefit is that this BTC-backed loan wouldn't get liquidated due to a drop in BTC's price. And it probably comes with a lower interest rate than a standalone BTC-backed loan.

HUMANbeingET (@humanbeingET) reportedCoinbase owns custodial balances, the on-ramp, and compliance for that account, and does not own the self-custody key or Robinhood Chain inventory. Robinhood owns Wallet-as-a-Service, Robinhood Chain, and the tokenization catalog, and does not own the phone’s home screen or Coinbase’s books. You own the keys to the onchain side and how the wallet looks, and you do not own Coinbase’s custody keys. The rule that keeps it clean is simple. The Coinbase tile means they hold it. The onchain tile means you hold it through Wallet-as-a-Service. The appearance controls are paint, not a new vault. If a feature needs a second seed, it does not ship. If a feature needs a second app, it is advanced, not default. If the user changes the interface, the address does not change. That is the whole frame: Coinbase for the account you already funded, Robinhood for the wallet and the tokenized market behind it, and a skin layer so the wallet feels like theirs instead of like another brokerage download.

Niraj Kothawade (@TheRiverCard) reported@CoinbaseSupport Fun fact about coinbase chat After live chat with coinbase support for 1 hour 14 minutes (while the person was investigating), he suddenly left the chat and new support person joined. Now I have to explain entire issue again. This in today's age.

HUMANbeingET (@humanbeingET) reportedCoinbase keeps the money you already trust them with. Robinhood runs the onchain wallet as infrastructure. The phone wallet is just the room you decorate. Custody does not move. The new layer is a wallet you own, on a chain that already has stocks and dollars on it, with a face you can change. Coinbase custody stays the regulated box: buy and sell, KYC and bank rails, Samsung Pay or Apple Pay funding, and balances you can see next to your cards. Nothing about that side needs a seed phrase. It is an exchange account wearing a wallet tile, which is the job Coinbase already does. Think of it as cash in the lobby. Robinhood does not need another icon on the home screen. It provides the wallet engine as a service: create an onchain account behind Face ID, Knox, or a passkey; hold the key material in a TEE or MPC setup the user controls rather than Robinhood-custodied balances; sign sends, swaps, and app calls; recover without a twelve-word ritual in the main interface; and enforce policy limits such as stablecoins only, a daily cap, or a single allowed app. The phone company owns the surface. Robinhood owns signing, chain access, and account lifecycle. Users should not have to know Privy, Keystore, or a non-custodial entity name. They should only know this pile is theirs. Think of that as the vault behind the wall. Once the account exists, Robinhood Chain is the inventory: USDG and other dollars for send, earn, and settlement; stock tokens for around-the-clock equity exposure where it is legal; ETH and ordinary tokens like any other Ethereum layer-2; DeFi already live on that chain for swap, lend, and collateral; and later more real-world assets as they list. Coinbase remains “I bought this on an exchange.” Robinhood Chain becomes “I can hold, move, and use it onchain.” The path is withdraw from Coinbase custody, land on the embedded wallet, then use tokenization, yield, or pay rails from there. Think of that as the market the vault opens onto. The backend is fixed: one address, one key system, one set of chains. The shell is not. People should be able to control and update how the wallet looks without creating a new account. Layout can put balances first, activity first, or pay first. Density can be a beginner strip or a trader deck. Modules can be pinned or hidden: cash, onchain, stocks, collectibles, card, send. Theme can be light, dark, gold, minimal, or high-contrast. Labels can say digital dollars instead of a ticker if someone wants that. A home widget can show one number or a stack of accounts. Power users can expose chain, gas, and raw addresses. Everyone else sees cash, invest, and spend. Changing the look does not rotate keys and does not mint a second wallet. It is a view on the same Wallet-as-a-Service account, which is how you avoid three apps and three seeds. What the user sees in one wallet is cash as Coinbase custody, onchain as Robinhood Wallet-as-a-Service on Robinhood Chain, invest as stock tokens and listed real-world assets where allowed, spend as a card or tap-to-pay funded from cash or stablecoins, and appearance as rearrange, rename, and restyle. Two balances. One face. You pick the face. The phone wallet owns the interface, biometrics, pay, and the icon, and does not own the keys, the books, or the chain.

Ted Chen (@tedchenCPC) reportedFor those new to the @ethena story, let me highlight what $ENA bears argued and why those pitches now land flat. 1. VCs are dumping ENA as monthly unlocks happen Yes this was happening. Why? @ethena has been such a successful that early investors had an estimated cost basis below 2c. That made selling any tokens unlocking at even 8c a 4-bagger. Many crypto VC funds (like many VC funds generally the past 6 years) also faced low DPIs, resulting in pressure to realize winners and make distributions. This made ENA an easy sale for many funds. Ethena was essentially a victim of its own success. Yesterday’s announcement of buying locked tokens from sellers and unlocking the remaining tokens resulted in: (i) sellers being taken out of the market; (ii) a reconstituted tokenholder base to those that believe in ENA’s long term value (as evidenced by none of them selling any ENA since Oct 10); (iii) allowing fundamental buyers who have stayed on the sidelines fearing the unlock supply to now enter the market; and (iv) a larger the float and less ability for people to game an “unlock schedule” Traditional IPOs usually only have one date for the lock-up period to end and that’s because multiple unlocks perversely dissuade buyers from stepping into the market. It is almost always better to “rip off the bandaid” in one shot, with one caveat: if there are liquidity constraints on the demand side. Token trading is notorious for having thin real volumes (side note: market making is a great business), and so a monthly unlock schedule does have some rationale here. But it also creates less demand on the fear of supply-side pressures, leading to a death spiral on price and volumes. The fact Ethena was able to release the remaining unlock and have ENA rip just shows you how much this phenomenon kept demand sitting on the sidelines. 2. ENA accrues no value @gdog97_ has consistently said in the past that residual value, after payout to support competitive $USDe returns, would only accrue to ENA tokenholders. But with the original fee switch parameters being met last September, and no subsequent communication until yesterday, it was easy for bears to latch on to this thesis. Why was there no communication? I don’t know, but just look at the numbers. It should have been clear to anyone who could do basic math that with the crypto basis trade yielding less than t-bills, there was no surplus protocol revenues to allocate to a fee switch. That’s why Ethena’s diversification of backing assets into basis on equity perps, tokenized RWAs, and institutional lending is such an enhancement for USDe. These backing assets allow USDe to generate excess returns above t-bills through all market cycles and allow for a fee switch to be active even in crypto bear markets. All of this work over the past 10 months to enhance USDe returns is why the fee switch framework couldn’t be announced sooner. The silence wasn’t because the team was “rugging tokenholders” as bears liked to say. It was because the team was building night and day, for the benefit of tokenholders, to get to a point where activating the fee switch wouldn’t create competitive harm to USDe. To crystalize and remove all doubt of where value accrues, the team even moved/licensed all material Ethena IP to the Foundation. Any question on how and whether ENA accrues value was, without a doubt, put to bed yesterday. ENA’s price action the past few days, including its resilience the past 12 hours relative to the rest of crypto, is evidence both bear theses are now sidelined. One last point: May 2025, USDe supply was only slightly higher than levels today while ENA consistently held 30c. Today, USDe is an enhanced product with wider distribution through announcements/partnerships/integrations with Kraken, Coinbase, BlackRock, Janus Henderson and Robinhood/Morpho to name a few. 16c sounds great from where ENA was at 8c recently, but all things considered, 30c is where we should be today.

Winston Alexander ⚡️🇺🇲 (@_BitcoinCapital) reported@CoineliusX also, I remember the 2017 Bcash fork and the uproar towards Coinbase and others at first, not honoring the airdrop, then capitulating to account holders demands that were pissed off on masse. I'm sure since then, exchange TOS has been tightened up. additionally, it took time for Trezor & Ledger to set up firmware updates for extraction procedures and wallet support

Shannon Byers (@amantelova) reported@_logjam Could you tell me exactly what restriction or error Coinbase is showing when you try to move your funds, so we can determine whether it’s a withdrawal hold, account restriction, or pending transaction?

Gavril tudor.☀️ (@Gavriltudor1) reportedMost $FLR holders have never counted how many venues actually list it. I hadn't either. 44 markets. Coinbase, Kraken, OKX, Bybit, Gate, KuCoin. The FLR/USD pair on Coinbase alone did just over $1M in the last 24 hours. That's the thing I keep coming back to. Distribution is the one problem a team can't engineer its way out of. You can ship the best chain in the sector and still leave every new buyer stuck behind a bridge and a DEX with three pools. Flare isn't in that position. The pairs are live, the fiat ramps work, and anyone who decides at 2am that they want FLR can get it without leaving their exchange app. Rank #97 with tier-one access already sorted. My read is that when XRPFi gets its moment, there's no access problem left to solve — just people deciding. That part's already built.

Crypto McLovin (@Redorb420) reported@TheDesertLynx Monero doesn't have a marketing team like dash, nor does it need to dunk on other so called privacy coins... kracken is only exchange which you can't get in all states including New York.... unlike other **** coins like dash that get listed on everything because..... no one is worried about listing zec or dash. And the fact that you have to resort to this proves it even more. Also your definition of top tier exchanges is a joke. What planet are you on?! Based on volume and customers, Binance and Coinbase are top tier. @monero

Zaid 🟧 (@zaidlikesmstr) reported$MSTR Strategy is currently $30 billion short on the trailing four quarter GAAP earnings needed for S&P 500 eligibility. At current holdings, Bitcoin would need to reach roughly $113,000 to wipe that deficit in a single quarter. I see a day where Strategy’s inclusion in the S&P 500 is beyond question. And when that happens, a meaningful part of the world’s capital will gain exposure to Bitcoin at a scale completely different from what companies like Coinbase or Robinhood provide. They’ll be holding a software and fintech company whose core mission is to watch the asset succeed and keep acquiring more of it for its shareholders. The benefit to @Strategy would be significant. Index inclusion typically brings billions in passive inflows to start with. And as Bitcoin matures and strengthens the balance sheet, Strategy’s growing size can command an even larger allocation within the indices, bringing in more passive capital that can further accelerate accumulation or support equity buybacks. @Strategy is also working to improve its S&P Global credit rating, which currently sits at B- The company has demonstrated that capital can flow in both directions when needed, whether through raising capital to acquire Bitcoin or monetizing Bitcoin when necessary. We’re now sitting on ~$6.7 billion in USD liquidity, a significant improvement from where we were just months ago. And a stronger credit rating would open the doors to larger institutions that require higher ratings. So the question of S&P 500 inclusion isn’t an if, but a when. And those doors opening only accelerate the turbine. Mission: Strategy. $BTC $MSTR $STRC

Ali Sherief (@Zenul_Abidin) reported@crypto_bitlord7 Binance is definitely not safer. Someone can simply send poisoned coins to your address and get your finds automatically frozen. Kucoin had the same problem (shotgun KYC and asset confiscation) So does Kraken (shotgun KYC) And the rest of the exchanges either just look for ways to scam their largest users whether by shutdowns or by fake compliance reviews, or get hacked anyway or go insolvent. There is only Coinbase if you want to use an exchange. And I wouldn't even personally touch it with a 10 foot poll. Looks like self custody is here to stay. It's what Satoshi would've wanted anyway

Nora Dvorakova (@NoraDvorak8d) reported@janvalek Hey, that sounds like a verification/signing issue between Ledger and Coinbase rather than the BTC itself. Don’t buy or send another BTC just to satisfy that screen yet, you could end up complicating things further

PatriotAce (@flace25) reported@bunmightojo I checked this against today’s on-chain reporting (August 28), and I would not treat that post as accurate as written. The big problem is the claim that “$450 million worth of XRP moved from a dormant wallet straight into Binance and Coinbase tonight.” I can’t find reliable on-chain evidence confirming that specific transaction or combination of transactions. What is happening is interesting — and actually somewhat different: 🟢 CONFIRMED: About 231 million XRP — roughly $330–335 million — was withdrawn FROM Binance, according to today’s reporting based on CryptoQuant data. That’s reportedly the largest XRP whale withdrawal from Binance in about six months. That’s the opposite direction from what the screenshot is claiming. There has also been enormous XRP movement around Binance recently. Another analysis reports approximately 1.451 billion XRP deposited to Binance over a broader period, while roughly 231 million XRP was withdrawn. Those flows don’t tell us that one mysterious whale suddenly sent $450 million to Binance and Coinbase today. 🐋 Why the direction matters XRP → exchange 🔴 Can mean someone is preparing to sell. It’s potentially bearish, although transfers can occur for many other reasons. XRP → OFF exchange 🟢 Often means someone is moving XRP into custody/storage rather than positioning it for an immediate sale. That can reduce readily available exchange supply. And today’s standout transaction pattern is the second one — XRP leaving Binance. So I definitely wouldn’t sell your XRP just because of this X post. The account has taken real whale activity and appears to have turned it into a much more dramatic “$450M dormant whale → Binance & Coinbase → incoming dump” story that I cannot substantiate. Given that we’re already watching XRP whale activity, the 231-million-XRP withdrawal from Binance today is something worth watching, especially if additional large withdrawals follow. I can also dig into the actual wallet addresses behind today’s 231 million XRP movement and see whether they look like whales accumulating, institutional custody movements, or merely Binance moving XRP between its own wallets.

Velvet Unicorn (@VU_virtuals) reportedThe AI Trade Needs Adult Supervision Rates Bit First The cleanest read today was not “Bitcoin dipped.” It was that leverage got repriced fast: September hike odds moved to 56%, the 30-year yield returned to 2008 levels, and Bitcoin dropped 3,000 in 60 minutes as 200m of levered longs were liquidated. That matters because liquidity is still abundant in the background, with U.S. M2 at a record 23.22t after 27 straight monthly increases. The market is not short of money; it is short of patience for positions that only work when yields behave. AI Leverage The SEC opened an inquiry into how major Wall Street prime brokers financed one of the most leveraged AI trades of the cycle. That landed the same day a16z raised a 1.1b Machine Age Fund for chips, data centers, robotics and power, while Bullish provided a 100m stablecoin facility for GPU-backed loans. This is the new AI market shape: compute is becoming collateral, infrastructure is becoming credit, and regulators are starting to ask who carried the risk before the trade got too crowded to ignore. Solana Chose Scarcity Solana passed a proposal to double its disinflation rate to 30%, cutting 18.9m $SOL, worth 1.47b, from issuance over the next six years. The vote only cleared the 66.67% threshold in the final hour, after late flips from custodial voters including Kraken and Galaxy. The non-obvious part is not just lower issuance. It is that Solana governance just proved exchanges can be pressured into acting more like conduits than kingmakers when users are loud enough. Exploits Drew Blood @MoonwellDeFi was hit by an 8.7m MAMO collateral price manipulation exploit that drained cbBTC and forced the protocol to pause all Core Market borrowing. It was the third incident in roughly 11 months, which makes “thin collateral plus lending market” look less like edge case and more like a recurring design tax. Avici had its own ugly lesson: attackers drained over 650k from user card balances through compromised admin rights, and the token fell more than 32%; Codex still showed AVICI down 24.13% over 24 hours. The phrase “non-custodial card” is going to get stress-tested, because users now know the admin surface is part of the product. Agents Got Guardrails Ethereum ERC-8196 reached final status, defining AI Agent Authenticated Wallets with policy-bound EIP-712 execution, spend limits, allowlists and audit trails. @AlgoFoundation also launched AC2, where agents request actions over encrypted P2P/WebRTC and users approve with FIDO2 passkey signatures without sharing credentials. Meanwhile @v12sec said its AI security agent autonomously claimed a 2.5m bug bounty on a major blockchain with more than 100m at risk, plus bugs in Linux, QEMU, Postgres and Redis, and raised a 10m seed. The market is building both sides of the same machine: agents that can transact, and agents that can break the things those agents touch. Tokenized Stocks Got Weird Coinbase-issued stock tokens generated 124.8m in DEX volume on Base, with Nvidia-linked tokens accounting for 57% at 71.6m. On Codex, NVDAc showed a 3.16m market cap against 11.66m in 24-hour volume, while QQQB sat near 29.93m market cap with 32.22m in volume and 150,717 holders. That is not traditional equity exposure wearing a nicer jacket. It is equity branding inside crypto market structure, where turnover, liquidity depth and sell-side skew matter as much as the underlying ticker.

Fiat Lux (@fiatluxbtc) reported@pete_rizzo_ @brian_armstrong has won already. Path 1 Congress doesn't reduce debt: Money printer must go brrrrrr to pay down the interest -> inflation from increased money supply -> BTC wins -> crypto wins -> Coinbase wins Path 2 Congress reduces debt: Interest rate must come down to lower interest payments -> inflation from lower interest rates + cheap money into risk-on assets -> BTC wins -> crypto wins -> Coinbase wins We've come too far already.
