I'm considering storing my
USDC in Coinbase, but I'm not sure if it's a safe option. I want to know if keeping my USDC in Coinbase is secure and if there are any risks involved.

As such, the USDC balance held in your Coinbase account is not considered a deposit account.

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) provides insurance for traditional bank deposits but does not cover cryptocurrency balances.

Similarly, the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC) protects investors against the loss of securities in brokerage accounts, but it does not extend its protection to cryptocurrency holdings.
