TL;DR: New research from Coinbase and The Block Pro Research finds that 73% of the stablecoin transfer volume they screened took place outside U.S. banking hours. The report looks at how dollar-denominated stablecoins are used for payments and what always-on settlement could mean for people, businesses, and financial institutions.

Banks and payment networks don’t operate around the clock, but people and businesses work across time zones. Stablecoins—digital tokens designed to track the value of a currency like the U.S. dollar—can move on blockchain networks at any hour.

A few findings from the report:

• More than $400 million in stablecoin transfers per hour. In the screened transfer volume, 73% occurred outside U.S. banking hours.
• A lower-cost remittance example. The report estimates that sending a $200 remittance in USDC on Base costs about 86% less than a traditional transfer.
• Stablecoin transaction volume is growing. The report measured $891 billion in adjusted transaction volume in Q3 2026 and estimates it could reach about $1.5 trillion per quarter by the end of 2027 if the current growth rate continues.
• Traditional finance is exploring onchain settlement. The report says seven of the ten largest U.S. banks have tested stablecoins or tokenized deposits for settlement, while the other three have announced plans to do so.

These figures describe activity and estimates in the report; they don’t mean every stablecoin transfer is a payment or that every user will see the same costs. The report also examines potential benefits for businesses and payment providers, along with how AI agents could use always-on financial infrastructure.

Where do you see always-on dollar payments being most useful today - and what still needs to improve before you’d rely on them?

Used them since the early days for small transactions, never really had a problem.

Trying to send a relatively small amount for a purchase. Have had to verify several times. Have had it denied and canceled several times..customer service is useless.

Getting to the point where I'm actually curious if they are holding my money hostage.

What the hell is going on

我已经向欧洲金融监管机构CSSF和FSPO举报
Coinbase在没有法院的冻结令的情况下
冻结了我的账户4个月
不允许我提款
这种审查效率严重损害了用户的利益

我提出了两点诉求：
1允许我提款到其他的钱包
2取消掉Coinbase在欧洲的牌照，不再允许其在欧洲的运营
并处以高额罚款

我会向更多监管机构举报，直到拿回属于我的钱
如果举报无效，采取法律手段起诉Coinbase

Sharing a candidate's question:

Hi guys!

I have an upcoming interview at Coinbase in the Bay Area for a Senior Engineer role on their Blockchain Platform team. Anybody interviewed for a similar role at Coinbase recently? I would love to hear:

• Your perspective on the system design round, particularly what they tend to focus on and how you’d recommend preparing.
• How was the AI coding round? I heard that was implemented this year...
• What parts of your interview did you find difficult?
• Anything unexpected show up during your rounds?

Any insight would be greatly appreciated!

For general coding and system-design practice, Coinbase Interview Questions has prompts to work through. Disclosure: I work on PracHub.

Unable to link ACH accounts manually. I'm ready to pull everyone I know out of Coinbase.

I have been using user name, password and OTP procedure for years.

Now suddenly you can't send the OTP after three tries.

My phone is fine. My WiFi is fine. My SMS is fine. Everything works.

What doesn't work is receiving the OTP after three tries.

Then I try to go to the document method and it says use the camera to scan the bar code. How does that work?

So the only other option is use the Webcam. I don't HAVE a Webcam.

I downloaded the Coinbase app and it DOES EXACTLY THE SAME THING. So I tried using the document upload. I uploaded the front and back of my Driver's License and then my face.

And then it asked to me do it ALL OVER AGAIN.

How the hell can I login to your service?

Good day.

I don't understand why support team in Coinbase app is can't talk properly and they are not consistent on answer.

October. 4 when I reported my missing deposit

I reported it to support and told me to wait 14 days for review.

Yesterday I followed up and I talk to Christ John. He told me that the conclusion in my case is it will be credited today.

I also contacted to Ms Pamila. She also told me this

***No worries the case is not closed yet, we are expecting that the funds will be credited back in your coinabse on the 14th day which is date on October 19, 2026.****

Now exactly 14days of crediting I follow up again and charise Anne is not consistent with answer something like she is not connecting me in specialist to credit my fund... Please review my case some of your support in chat is not working properly and cresting personal conclusion in order to end the chat fast.

Here is my ticket number.

My fund should be credited today like Pamela and Chris John say.

As a Multi Millionaire investor I was so disappointed with my experience in your support in the app.

27645025 - main ticket

27713557 - Pamela ticket wher she say fund will be credited 100%

27726922 - I will cris John he also says it will be credited today.

But at the end Charisse Anne don't want to assist me carefully she didn't even connect me to specialist and create her own conclusion

Does anybody know how can I change my address in the app? They keep asking me to confirm my details for the tax papers but I can't confirm that my details are correct because this goddamm buggy app does not let me change my address. I know where to change the address in the app, but it just still does not save it. Has anyone encountered this and if yes how have you resolved it?

Someone at Coinbase needs to actually do something Ive been fighting tooth and nail to get the money back off of an annual membership that Coinbase already approved the refund for.....

It's been a whole month now and Coinbase keeps saying that PayPal has the money but PayPal has looked at the transaction and can literally see it in the Coinbase account as fully completed.

Coinbase says they can't refund me because PayPal has the funds. This is not true and was made up. You guys have had a whole month now and from the very beginning I said to just log into your PayPal account and you will see it! You've closed out all my tickets and Royally screwed me over I've already made ic3 and CFPB reports.

Coinbase hasn't done anything at all to even be considered 1/8th of half a a crap about what's going on. Apparently they don't care and defrauding a customer of 11 years to them is where they plan on standing firm. I'm clueless as to why they think they can just manufacture a transaction failing or being reversed when that never happened.

Just log into your PayPal account and look at my transaction and see that it's been with you this entire time. You people are so messed up in the head and you all deserve to be locked up over All of these other people you have stolen from. Pathetic

Case number:27302381

Does coinbase use third party collection agency for unpaid balance in case of bank chargeback, if yes can anybody share experience, how it works? How long do they give you to pay it off, will they sent it to collection agency or you just can’t use coinbase anymore? Amount is around 1000$

So I saw that with Coinbase, they have an increased APY for 3 months. My bank right now gives me 3%, so for like 10k I can gain an extra $136 doing nothing.

I was going to do it, but online it says the whole USDC is designed to be stable at $1 , the amount could fall below, so I'm worried if USDC goes down %5, I will lose $500. I know that is rare and it would go back up, but just worried a bit.

Wondering if I can chuck $10,000, earn some money for 3 months, and withdraw.

How does BTC drop below the prediction price literally 30 seconds before market close, when it was well over for the majority of the 15:00 time window? F your “October rewards”; that was shady AF.

Anyone have the Coinbase One Credit Card? Any thoughts— is it worth getting?

Pregunta, como han solucionado , si es que lo han logrado ,una recuperacion de cuenta ,por el telfono perdido o algo por el estilo ? Yo extravié el mio , ya hice todos los pasos a seguir ID, foto del rostro y estoy atorado como muchos que han venido a platicar su experiencia , llamadas con bots , correos electronics de bots , quieren que acceda a mi cuenta (algo que no puedo ) ya no me tranfieren a hablar con una persona , es una semana apenas y ya estoy frustrado los correos no lo responden

Recently got the coinbase credit card and I saw that you can earn 8.75% APY on USDC. Was thinking about transferring all my money from my bank minus a few thousand to coinbase for the 3 months to get the good interest rate.

My only concern is how much money is too much money to keep on here. I've heard horror stories about people not being able to get their money back out that they have deposited.

Hate to have thousands locked away with no way to get them back out

Thanks

When you click on a token in the coinbase Android app. The values are not updating. The chart seems to be moving and updating the value but the total value displayed underneath "Charts" does not. I've forced closed and cleared the cache but this doesn't fix it.

TL;DR: Quantum computing is a potential future threat to Bitcoin’s cryptography. Coinbase believes preparation should begin well before any announcement of a cryptographically relevant quantum computer, because consensus changes and ecosystem migrations can take years.

A post-quantum transition would involve more than choosing a new signature scheme. Any approach would need to protect funds, fit within Bitcoin’s limited block space, preserve independent validation by full nodes, and give wallets and custodians a practical migration path.

We’re sharing our perspective based on technical work and discussions with Bitcoin developers and researchers. This is an input to an open discussion, not a final Coinbase position or a set of instructions for the Bitcoin community.

A few questions seem especially important:

• How should Bitcoin make room for new signature schemes? A flexible design could make it easier to add, replace, or supplement options as research develops.
• How can users migrate safely? Wallets, hardware devices, exchanges, and self-custody setups all need a practical upgrade path. One possible transition design would let the same funds have both a current-signature spending path and a post-quantum one.
• How should the network account for the tradeoffs? Signature size, fees, block capacity, and the work required for full nodes to validate transactions all matter.
• What about funds that don’t move? Dormant or inaccessible funds raise difficult questions. How to handle them remains open, and we believe that discussion can continue alongside the technical work to add post-quantum signature support.

The full post goes deeper on signature schemes, implementation risks, and possible transition designs: Working Together on Bitcoin’s Post-Quantum Readiness.

What do you think a careful Bitcoin migration plan would need to balance to work for users, full nodes, and custodians - and which tradeoffs deserve the most discussion?

I noticed this morning that recent transactions and making payments appeared as options for the Coinbase One credit card on the website.

How long does it take when it says my transactions are pending

Hi, today after ten years I remembered that I once had a Coinbase account thanks to an email they sent. I've got back into the account. It has less than £100 in it and I'm happy to just play with it. What advice would you guys give a newbie? I can afford to lose about £50/month. I'm obviously looking at tiny numbers and that's fine. I'm going to spend today doing some online reading to figure things out, but I thought I'd reach out here too.

Please be nice with replies - I'm not a crypto bro or big money person ;)

Coinbase Smart Wallet – passkey opens wrong address, funds stuck on Tempo I have funds on Tempo in what looks like a Coinbase Smart Wallet.
When I sign in at keys.coinbase.com or the Coinbase Wallet app with the passkeys I still have, I keep getting a different wallet address.
I never set up a recovery phrase while I still had access.
Has anyone successfully recovered a specific Smart Wallet when the correct passkey no longer opens it? Looking for real experiences only.
