Coinbase Slashes Account Lockouts by 82%—Users Actually Get to Trade Now
Coinbase just pulled off a minor miracle—reducing the infuriating account lockouts that plagued users by a staggering 82%. No more staring at error messages while Bitcoin moons or tanks without you.
Behind the scenes: The exchange quietly overhauled its identity verification and risk systems. Turns out, treating customers like criminals wasn’t great for business—who knew?
The cynical take: Maybe they finally hired someone who’s used a crypto exchange before. Or perhaps regulators threatened to check their ‘customer service’ box again. Either way, it’s progress—even if it’s 10 years late.
