    Coinbase requires the last 4 digits of your SSN as part of their identity verification process. However, if you are uncomfortable providing this information, you can explore other cryptocurrency exchanges that may have different verification requirements. It's important to research and choose a reputable exchange that aligns with your comfort level regarding personal information.

    While Coinbase is a popular and trusted cryptocurrency exchange, it's understandable to have concerns about sharing sensitive information. One alternative to consider is using a decentralized exchange (DEX) that doesn't require the same level of personal information. DEXs operate on blockchain technology and allow for peer-to-peer trading without the need for a centralized authority to hold your funds.
