The point is that if Coinbase goes bankrupt their customers will not lose any money because customer assets are segregated from Coinbase's assets.


  Because custodially held crypto assets may be considered to be the property of a bankruptcy estate, in the event of a bankruptcy, the crypto assets we hold in custody on behalf of our customers could be subject to bankruptcy proceedings and such customers could be treated as our general unsecured creditors

There’s no precedent. Disclosures are always worst case scenarios

Liabilities of $105bn, $101bn which are deposit liabilities vs. $101bn of customer assets.

Even in a worst case scenario depositors get a <4% haircut.

THIS IS VERY DIFFERENT FROM WHAT FTX DID
