You Won’t Believe What Happened When Coinbase Users Tried to Withdraw Their Solana! 😱

Crypto social media has been flooded by enraged Coinbase users who can’t withdraw their Solana (SOL) tokens, sparking rumors of insolvency. 🀯 One user asked, “Where are my coins?” before claiming to be down nearly $1,000, “patiently waiting for my Solana,” and adding, “Literally never using your platform again. Moving to Gemini.” πŸ’Έ

“What’s the drama with Coinbase and Solana?” crypto YouTuber ‘Wendy O’ asked her 412,000 followers on X, as crypto investor ‘Curb’ demanded answers from Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong. πŸ€”

“After dealing with insolvency last cycle (FTX), we demand answers into why it is taking 9+ hours to send/receive $SOL (takes less than 1 second on chain). Is @coinbase insolvent, where are your proof of Solana reserves? This is unacceptable.” 😑

Coinbase is reportedly out of Solana, making users unable to withdraw their money. πŸ’© Venture capitalist Will Clemente commented, “What’s more likely is that they haven’t prioritized infrastructure build-out for Solana, maybe in part because they’re not incentivized to do so with a competing on-chain platform (Base).” πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ

Meanwhile, Coinbase announced support for the recently launched Official Trump (TRUMP) meme coin on the Solana network. πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ Solana-based and other meme coins are also getting mauled, with TRUMP tanking more than 20% and MELANIA slumping around 50%. πŸ’©

It’s not the first time Coinbase has failed under heavy demand, and the exchange is known for going offline or having ‘technical issues’ when markets are at peak volatility. 🀯 The Solana network has also had more than its fair share of outages over the past few years. πŸ˜’

SOL prices hit an intraday high of $272 on Monday but dumped to $234 during the Tuesday morning Asian trading session, down almost 20% from its all-time high of $293 on Jan. 19. πŸ“‰

Buckle up, crypto fans, it’s gonna be a wild ride! 🎒
