That included Coinbase, a cryptocurrency exchange that donated $1 million to Trump’s inaugural committee in January. The following month, Trump’s Securities and Exchange Commission dismissed a lawsuit against the company.

      I’ve heard that Kraken is alright. I’m going to close my account too and switch.

      Coinbase sucks anyway. The app lags and times out constantly, and I can’t use my Coinbase Card cause every six months some asshole in The Philippines tries to use it to make a a large purchase, so I’ve locked the card permanently. Customer service is too lazy to do anything about it, and I’m a Coinbase One member. Not anymore.

      I’m on Kraken since 2017, hadn’t had an issue since. Even with larger deposits/withdrawals.

      Other exchanges? No idea, sorry. I never held much; I just sold everything and transferred it back to my regular bank account.

        Right no worries. I like to have my eggs in multiple baskets but don’t do many transsctions, so it doesn’t really matter where I hold them.

          If you’re only holding then switch to a wallet with private keys that you hold. If you ever decide that you want to trade back to fiat then you can go through an exchange.

          If any exchange holds your wallet then you can lose it all if they go bankrupt. If it’s your own keys then it’s not going anywhere.
