Why it Matters
The increased security offered by cryptocurrency is a big reason why digital money was created. Unlike traditional currencies, cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Ethereum are open-source, meaning anyone can inspect the blockchains they run on, assuring that every transaction is accurate.
To create a fair and open financial system, we’ve developed a deliberate approach for adding new assets to our platform. Every ERC-20 asset on Coinbase goes through an extensive security review process to assess the custodial risk of funds and ensure that risky functions are appropriately mitigated. This gives token holders, whether they hold their tokens at an exchange like Coinbase or in a self-custodied wallet, stronger assurance in ownership of their tokens.
At Coinbase, we believe that everyone deserves access to financial services that can help empower them to create a better life for themselves and their families. If the world economy ran on a common set of standards that could not be manipulated by any one actor, the world would be a more fair and free place, and human progress would accelerate.
