Coinbase updated its User Agreement on April 28, 2026 to clarify punctuation in defined terms and expanded the scope of governed instruments to explicitly include Coinbase Custom Stablecoin alongside wrapped tokens. The change adds 'a Coinbase Custom Stablecoin' to the list of digital assets whose issuance, holding, or use triggers acceptance of the User Agreement. This expands which Coinbase-issued products are contractually governed by the same agreement terms.
The updated User Agreement now explicitly states that obtaining, holding, or using a Coinbase Custom Stablecoin triggers the same agreement acceptance as wrapped tokens previously did. The practical effect is that users of this new stablecoin product are contractually bound by the full terms of the User Agreement, including dispute resolution, limitations of liability, and other standard provisions. No new rights or obligations are introduced; the change clarifies that this stablecoin product falls under the existing agreement framework.
