Okay, that's fair. Is "shady practice" the right description?
Not your keys, not your coins. True as ever. Everyone should take time and learn about self-custody and get cool with it.azb1 said:

That is very common with any custodial service. Also your neighbour bank will eat your deposit without any issue. The fdic insurance equivalent might cover a "small" portion.Martin Everson said:
Use coinbase if you need too but keep nothing in there. The fact a custody arrangement is not in fact a true custody arrangement with ring fencing of customer assets is worrying.

Let's face it: If Coinbase goes bust, the entire crypto market is finished for at least a decade.Martin Everson said:
In EU banks that offer custodial services the assets under custody are ring fenced and cannot be part of bankruptcy proceedings or BRRD. I would genuinely think carefully how you hold crypto.
I would also not rely on FDIC insurance which by the way almost went bankrupt during last financial crisis....lol. I discussed FDIC below 2 months ago,

Nah not even close. It would be a crash but soon to be forgotten and even be beneficial if 10% of coins will be taken out of supply and not available for selling for years until the bankruptcy phase is over.1234567890 said:

The few remaining enthusiast will not be able to stop a complete market collapse.
However, before Coinbase goes down the drain we might see some of these obscure Crypto Lending Platforms with their unsustainably high interest rates going out of business.
