How Coinbase Educates and Protects Customers from Crypto Market Volatility

At Coinbase, we’re working hard to help update the financial system by building trusted products that expand the utility and adoption of crypto, because we believe crypto and blockchain technology have the ability to increase economic freedom and opportunity around the world. Coinbase chose to become a public company in the US because we believe the US would best be served by embracing this fundamental innovation, but we’re also focused on international markets, many of which are moving forward with strategies to become “crypto hubs.” A key part of fulfilling this commitment is educating our users on the risks associated with market volatility in crypto and providing them with tools to help manage risk.

User Education

Coinbase recognizes the importance of educating our customers about market volatility. We offer comprehensive educational resources, including help center articles, blog posts, and video tutorials, to help our users understand the nature of cryptocurrency price fluctuations and how they can navigate through them. Our Coinbase Learn website is regularly updated with relevant content targeted for every type of crypto user, from first-timers, experienced investors, and everyone in between. It offers beginner guides, practical tutorials, and market updates on Bitcoin, Ethereum and more.  We also offer a unique educational program called Learning Rewards, which rewards users with cryptocurrency for learning about different digital assets. This program not only encourages users to expand their knowledge but also provides them with the opportunity to explore various projects and understand their underlying value. By participating in Learning Rewards, customers can make informed investment decisions based on a deeper understanding of the projects they're interested in, reducing the likelihood of impulsive reactions to market volatility. 

Price Alerts and Notifications

To keep users informed about significant market movements, we offer price alerts and notifications. Users can set personalized alerts for specific cryptocurrencies, enabling them to stay updated on price changes and take appropriate actions if necessary. These alerts serve as allows customers to monitor the market closely and make timely decisions based on their investment goals and risk tolerance.

Coinbase provides a suite of advanced trading tools designed to assist users in managing their portfolios amidst market volatility. These tools include limit orders, stop orders, and recurring buys, among others. By leveraging these features, customers can set predefined price levels, automate buying or selling actions, and establish disciplined trading strategies. These tools are essential for mitigating the impact of sudden market swings and ensuring that users' investments align with their long-term objectives.

Empowering Users to Make Educated Decisions

Navigating the unpredictable waters of the crypto market requires knowledge, tools, and support. Coinbase aims to educate its customers about market volatility by offering comprehensive educational resources, price alerts and notifications, the Learning Rewards program, Coinbase Learn, and advanced trading tools. 

It’s important to note that the educational resources mentioned above do not constitute investment or financial advice and are instead meant to assist users in learning more about crypto, blockchain, and how the crypto market works so users can make their own investment decisions.  It is also important to note that the user remains ultimately responsible for the management of their account.
