Could you please explain why I'm unable to swap cryptocurrencies on Coinbase? I've been trying to make a trade, but the platform keeps telling me that swapping is not available. Is there a specific reason for this, such as geographical restrictions or maintenance issues? Could you provide some insight into why this feature might be unavailable, and any potential workarounds or alternative options I might have for trading my crypto assets?

A sudden shift in the exchange price between the cryptocurrencies involved in a swap can lead to its failure.

Cryptocurrency swaps are inherently volatile due to the unpredictable nature of digital currencies.

Waiting at least 60 seconds gives the market time to stabilize and reduces the chances of encountering the same price shift that caused the initial failure.
