Coinbase Boosting Its Crypto Buying Limit To $25K Per Day
Cryptocurrency start-up Coinbase will support its daily purchase limits and take into consideration “instant” trading following client bank transfer, the organization reported Tuesday.
Right now, according to the startup, customers need to wait for five days for those assets to settle. In any case, that is going to change, with Coinbase thinking that “when someone makes the decision to sign up, they don’t want to wait days before they can start buying cryptocurrency.”
Coinbase went ahead to note:
“While we do support instant transfers via wire transfer and debit cards, purchases via direct debits from your bank account can take days to appear. With this update, customers will receive an immediate credit for the funds being sent from their bank account. They can then buy and sell crypto to and from their USD wallet right away, but cannot send their funds off the Coinbase platform until the funds coming from their bank have settled.”
Daily purchase limits are being lifted to $25,000, as indicated by Coinbase, however, just clients who have completed the site’s identity verification process will approach these progressions. Coinbase is still in the process of including these progressions for its non-U.S. clients.
A Coinbase representative told CoinDesk that “these improvements are built on our [six]-year history of focusing entirely on cryptocurrency and building the most trusted, compliant cryptocurrency exchange in the world.”
“We’ve focused on building a state-of-the-art fraud detection system that relies on machine learning and, over the past year, we’ve made significant improvements to our systems that help us balance a good user experience with preventing losses due to fraud,” the representative said.
