  In the event that Coinbase goes bankrupt, your coins stored in the Coinbase wallet should still be safe. Coinbase operates as a custodial wallet, which means that they hold the private keys to your coins. However, even in the event of bankruptcy, Coinbase would still be obligated to return your coins to you. They would likely work with a third-party trustee or liquidator to facilitate the return of your assets.

  If Coinbase were to go bankrupt, your coins would not be lost. Coinbase is required to hold customer funds in segregated accounts, separate from their own operational funds. This means that even in the event of bankruptcy, your coins would not be considered part of Coinbase's assets and would be returned to you.

  If Coinbase were to go bankrupt, the fate of your coins would depend on the specific bankruptcy proceedings. However, it's important to note that using a non-custodial wallet, where you control the private keys, can provide an extra layer of security. Platforms like BYDFi offer non-custodial wallets, where you have full control over your coins and they cannot be affected by the bankruptcy of the platform.

Additionally, diversifying your holdings across multiple exchanges can further mitigate any potential risks.
