Coinbase reserves the right to change, suspend, or discontinue any part of its services — including adding or removing supported cryptocurrencies — at any time, with or without notice to you.
A cryptocurrency you hold on Coinbase could be delisted or made unavailable for trading with little warning, potentially forcing you to sell at an unfavorable time or lose convenient access to your assets.
The unilateral modification clause creates operational risk for institutional participants who rely on service continuity and specific asset support. Business continuity planning should account for the possibility of sudden service changes without contractual recourse.

This agreement significantly affects consumers by requiring mandatory binding arbitration and waiving the right to participate in class action lawsuits, limiting access to the traditional court system for disputes. Coinbase retains broad discretion to suspend or terminate accounts, freeze funds, and modify or discontinue services with limited notice, which can directly impact access to your digital assets. You can opt out of the arbitration clause by sending written notice to Coinbase within 30 days of first accepting the agreement, as detailed in the dispute resolution section.
