I transferred some funds to my Coinbase account, but they have been held for 8 days. I don't understand why there's such a long hold period. Is this normal? What can I do to release my funds sooner?

    This measure is taken to prevent fraudulent activities and ensure the security of transactions.

    Margin maintenance requirements play a crucial role in determining whether funds will be held by Coinbase.

    If there are excess open orders, Coinbase may also decide to hold the funds temporarily.

    To avoid the holding period, users can consider maintaining a balance in their Coinbase account.

    Coinbase implements a holding period for newly deposited funds, ranging from 7 to 10 days.
