  When you delete your Coinbase account, your cryptocurrencies will not be deleted or lost. However, you will lose access to them through the Coinbase platform. It's important to note that Coinbase is a custodial wallet, which means they hold the private keys to your cryptocurrencies. To continue accessing and managing your cryptocurrencies, you'll need to transfer them to another wallet or exchange before deleting your Coinbase account. Make sure to choose a secure and reputable wallet or exchange to ensure the safety of your assets.

  Deleting your Coinbase account does not mean your cryptocurrencies will be deleted. Your cryptocurrencies will still exist on the blockchain, but you will no longer have access to them through Coinbase. To retain control over your assets, you should transfer them to a personal wallet or another exchange before deleting your Coinbase account. Remember to keep your private keys secure and make backups of your wallet to avoid any potential loss of your cryptocurrencies.
