In January 2024, following a significant investment in cryptocurrencies, the user received the “email of death,” signaling the start of a KYC compliance ordeal.
As reported by the user, Coinbase requested additional information before the user could withdraw his investments into his self-custodial crypto valet.
According to the user, the assets were valued at upwards of $150,000 at the time.
Despite promptly submitting the requested documentation, including bank statements and pay stubs, the user encountered a wall of silence.
The situation escalated in March when their account was inexplicably restricted, prompting the user to seek customer support.
The support was not helpful, which ultimately prompted the user to post their situation on Reddit, which prompted many other Coinbase users to share their complaints.
Other Coinbase Users Share Their Stories
Prompted by the post, users started circulating their complaints, highlighting a sense of shared frustration.
One user also shared their experience with the “email of death,” marking their account as restricted. Despite following Coinbase’s directives and providing the requested documentation, they encountered silence.
Stories like these have led some social media users to caution others when dealing with Coinbase.
However, not all users shared a similar experience. Multiple users, in reply to the post, claimed that they withdrew significant amounts of crypto to their wallets without facing issues.

Multiple users suggested that the issue lies with the platform’s lack of support staff, which reflects an attempt at scaling their operations.
The stringent KYC measures are part of the exchange’s efforts to comply with global regulatory standards to prevent money laundering and financial fraud.
One user’s story does not necessarily reflect the experience of other users in a similar situation.
The stories from the Coinbase community highlight the importance of user-centric service models that ensure individuals can manage their digital assets confidently and with the support they need.
