Change Summary
Coinbase removed references to Secured USDC (a digital asset holding mechanism tied to its One Card product) from its core asset protection language. The previous terms explicitly permitted transfers of Supported Digital Assets for Secured USDC purposes under the One Card agreement. The updated terms now state Coinbase will not sell, transfer, loan, or otherwise handle your assets except as required by law or as you instruct, removing all mentions of the Secured USDC exception and related restrictions on withdrawals. This operational change means users can no longer designate USDC as Secured USDC within the main User Agreement, and the carve-outs allowing Coinbase to comply with third-party secured party instructions without user consent have been eliminated from the core terms.
