The chief executive of Coinbase, Brian Armstrong, has eased out concerns regarding bankruptcy in one of his tweets. He further allayed the fears of Coinbase users by stating that the company’s latest quarterly filing was performed keeping in mind the requirements of the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

Further adding to that he mentions that there, was no correlation to the firm undergoing a risk of bankruptcy. This statement by Armstrong comes after Coinbase included the new risk factor in a mandated disclosure in the quarterly filing which stated,

In the event of bankruptcy, crypto assets held by the exchange could be considered property of the bankruptcy proceedings, and customers could be treated as general unsecured creditors. An unsecured creditor would be one of the last to be paid in any bankruptcy and last in line for claims.

This bit of disclosure stirred panic among users followed by an outpouring of messages by users on Twitter. Users feared that keeping coins on the platform would be a risky move.

Additionally, he tweeted that it was unlikely that “a court would decide to consider customer assets as part of the company in bankruptcy proceedings,” although it could remain a possibility.

Further, there were “strong legal protections in their terms of service that protect their assets, even in a black swan event like this” for Prime and Custody customers.

He stated that to look into the best interests of retail customers, Coinbase is working towards updating the terms which shall ensure an equal amount of protection to retail customers as well.

In one of his others statements, he added,

We should have updated our retail terms sooner, and we didn’t communicate proactively when this risk disclosure was added. My deepest apologies
