The importance of Coinbase Custody
Coinbase Custody is a crypto custody service aimed at institutional investors with a deep pocket. It provides customers with a secure platform to store large amounts of crypto assets. Also, Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong made various statements after the collapse of FTX.
As it is known, the collapse of FTX has led to concerns about cryptocurrencies. It also reduced reliance on centralized exchanges that offer custody services. Amid concerns about investing in crypto assets, he recently reassured clients that the exchange would not face liquidity issues like its now-bankrupt competitor. Armstrong used the following statements:
[FTX’s collapse] is not an issue for Coinbase, and that’s because we support client funds one-on-one. And you don’t have to take our word for it. We are a public company and therefore publish financial statements audited by a Big Four accounting firm. We filed and registered an S-1 with the SEC when we went public in the United States. We told them exactly how our business works. We showed them our audited financial statements and they approved us for the IPO.
