I'm a crypto investor and I've been using Coinbase wallet for quite some time. Recently, with the rise of decentralization and new wallet technologies, I've been wondering: Do my assets still belong to me on Coinbase wallet? I understand Coinbase is a custodial wallet, but does that mean my funds are essentially in the hands of a third party? Could my funds be frozen or confiscated without my consent? And how secure are my private keys and transaction data on Coinbase? I'm considering moving my funds to a non-custodial wallet, but I'm not sure if that's the right decision. What are the risks and benefits of each option?

Specifically, if you were previously using the Coinbase Wallet, you will not be able to see or conduct transactions with your assets using the same wallet address.

This is due to the nature of the wallet and its compatibility with certain networks.

To regain access to your assets, you can consider using an alternative self-custody wallet.
