Change Summary
Coinbase updated its Individual User Agreement on April 19, 2026 to add Connecticut-specific disclosures about virtual currency risks. The new language warns that virtual currency is not government-backed or insured, transactions are irreversible, and the market value of cryptocurrency can decline to zero. The agreement also now explicitly describes fraudulent transaction schemes commonly associated with virtual currency.

413Virtual currency is not backed or insured by the government and accounts and value balances are not subject to Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, National Credit Union Administration or Securities Investor Protection Corporation protections.
414Some virtual currency transactions shall be deemed to be made when recorded on a public ledger, which may not be the date or time when the customer initiates the virtual currency transaction The value of virtual currency may be derived from the continued willingness of market participants to exchange fiat currency for virtual currency, which may result in the permanent and total loss of the value of a particular virtual currency, if the market for that virtual currency disappears.
415The volatility and unpredictability of the price of virtual currency relative to fiat currency may result in a significant loss over a short period of time.
416Any bond maintained by Coinbase for the benefit of the customers of Coinbase may not be sufficient to cover all losses incurred by such customers.
417Virtual currency transactions are irreversible and are used by persons seeking to defraud customers, including, but not limited to, a person impersonating a customer's loved one, threatening jail time, stating that a customer's identity has been stolen, insisting that a customer withdraw money from the customer's bank account and purchase cryptocurrency or alleging a customer's personal computer has been hacked.
