Aside from ETH, the platform also offers institutes to stake for other tokens, including Solana, Cosmos, Polkadot, Tezos, and Celo. The Coinbase team also explains that institutes who stake with Coinbase will have their funds highly secured, with the withdrawal keys being stored in the Coinbase cold storage custody vault to ensure maximum safety.

Coinbase’s Busy Month

This past month however, has not been the best for Coinbase or their reputation. Not long ago, a former Coinbase manager was arrested on allegations of insider-trading while working for the exchange. Aside from that, the exchange was also investigated by the SEC for allegedly including securities on their exchange.
