The exchange also disclosed that as of close of business Friday March 10, it had an approximately $240m balance in corporate cash at Signature Bank, and it expects to fully recover these funds.
This news is a significant relief for Coinbase’s clients, who have been concerned about the safety of their funds in the wake of the recent closure of Signature Bank. Coinbase’s tweet assures them that their funds are secure and accessible, and the exchange is committed to providing them with the best possible service.
In conclusion, Coinbase’s announcement is a testament to the resilience of the cryptocurrency market, which has continued to thrive despite the recent turbulence in the traditional banking sector. It also underscores the importance of robust security measures and insurance protection for clients’ funds in the digital asset industry.
