Coinbase Faces Mounting Criticism Over Account Freezes

Coinbase Faces Mounting Criticism Over Account Freezes = The Bit Journal
SHARE

The prominent crypto exchange, Coinbase, is under fire as users report increasing issues with account restrictions. While the company claims these measures are to counteract fraud and inactivity, many users allege their accounts have been frozen for months or even years without clear justification. Here’s what’s happening.

User Backlash Intensifies

Coinbase recently acknowledged a rise in fraudulent activities, which, according to the company, has caused its anti-fraud mechanisms to temporarily restrict some accounts. In a December 9 statement, the platform revealed that fraud attempts have surged by up to threefold in recent months.

Despite these claims, the crypto community remains skeptical. Many users feel Coinbase’s explanations fall short, arguing that account freezes are becoming a widespread issue, eroding trust in the platform. One frustrated user shared their experience:

“My account was frozen for months simply because I used a VPN once.”

Prolonged Account Reviews Spark Frustration

A common grievance among Coinbase users is the lengthy manual review process, which leaves accounts inaccessible for weeks or even months. This has led to major disruptions for traders and investors. One user described the ordeal:

“My account has been under manual review for a week now. I can’t trade or withdraw funds, and all I can do is wait.”

Even prominent figures in the crypto space are calling out Coinbase for its inefficiencies. Influencer Glauber Contessoto criticized the lack of adequate customer support, tweeting:

“Coinbase needs 24/7 customer service. Resolving issues shouldn’t be this hard.”

A Tough Year for Coinbase

The challenges for Coinbase extend beyond user complaints. In a significant move, the company ceased its operations in Turkey earlier this year, citing local regulatory challenges. This decision mirrored the struggles faced by competitors like Binance and KuCoin in the same region.

Adding to its troubles, the platform suffered a phishing attack in October, leading to a $6.5 million loss. The attackers impersonated “Coinbase Support,” exploiting users and exposing critical vulnerabilities.

Despite these setbacks, Coinbase has shown resilience in 2024. Its Base Layer-2 network has emerged as a standout performer, handling six million daily transactions and ranking fifth in Total Value Locked (TVL). However, unless Coinbase takes immediate steps to improve user experience and transparency, it risks further damaging its reputation.

Conclusion

As complaints about account restrictions continue to rise, Coinbase faces a pivotal moment. Users demand faster resolutions, better communication, and a more transparent approach to problem-solving. Without significant changes, the platform may find it increasingly difficult to maintain its dominance in the highly competitive crypto market.
