JUST IN: #Coinbase confirms users are currently unable to buy, sell, or transfer #crypto on the platform. Their official status page lists it as "Investigating" with the key line: "Your funds are safe."
When the biggest U.S. exchange freezes spot activity, it can tighten liquidity fast, widen spreads, and spark short-term volatility across #BTC , #ETH , and alts.
This is why it's important not to hold your crypto on exchanges long-term.
We've seen it time and again -- outages, hacks, frozen withdrawals during stress. Even if funds are "safe" right now, you can't move them when you need to.
Keep only what you're actively trading on exchanges. The rest? Hardware wallet, multisig, cold storage -- whatever gives YOU control.
Pro moves in 2026:
🎯 Diversify across multiple platforms (never all-in-one)
🎯 Set up self-custody for HODL bags
🎯 Test small transfers regularly to avoid surprises
