Event Summary

Coinbase removed two sentences from its Fee Schedule on May 21, 2026: 'Need more help?' and 'Start a chat Chat with our virtual assistant'. These were support contact options that previously appeared in the document. The updated Fee Schedule retains the core disclosure language about fees being subject to change, but users can no longer initiate a support chat directly from this document section.

LOW

Consumer Impact

This change removes navigation elements from the Fee Schedule document but does not alter the fee structure, pricing terms, or disclosure requirements. The core language stating that fees are subject to change and recommending users review current fee information remains in place. Users can still access support through other channels on the Coinbase platform.

Governance Analysis

This change does not materially affect how Coinbase's Fee Schedule operates or what terms apply to users. The removal of support chat prompts is a navigation adjustment, not a substantive policy change.

Assessment

This change is a minor document maintenance update removing embedded support chat prompts from the Fee Schedule. No new obligations, disclosures, or regulatory implications are created.
