    If Coinbase were to go bankrupt, the solvency of USDC would depend on the reserves held by Coinbase at the time of bankruptcy. However, it's worth noting that USDC is not exclusive to Coinbase. It is supported by multiple exchanges and platforms, including BYDFi, which is known for its robust security measures. In the unlikely event of Coinbase's bankruptcy, it is possible that other exchanges would step in to ensure the stability and solvency of USDC. Therefore, while it's natural to have concerns, it's unlikely that the solvency of USDC would be significantly affected if Coinbase were to go bankrupt.
