  In the event that Coinbase goes bankrupt, your crypto assets should still be safe. Coinbase holds its customers' funds in segregated accounts, which means that even if the company goes bankrupt, your assets would not be considered part of Coinbase's assets and would not be used to pay off its debts. However, it's always a good idea to have a backup plan and not keep all your crypto assets on a single exchange.

  If Coinbase were to go bankrupt, there are several possible outcomes for your crypto assets. One possibility is that another exchange or financial institution could acquire Coinbase and take over its operations, including the custody of your assets. Another possibility is that a court-appointed trustee would be responsible for distributing the assets to the customers. It's important to note that bankruptcy proceedings can be complex and take time, so it's advisable to stay informed and follow any updates from Coinbase or the relevant authorities.

  Don't worry! Even if Coinbase were to go bankrupt, your crypto assets would still be yours. Coinbase operates as a custodial wallet, which means that you have control over your private keys and can access your assets even if Coinbase ceases to exist. However, it's always a good practice to keep your private keys secure and consider using hardware wallets for added protection.
