What People Say
"After a long wait and multiple verifications, I finally cleared my Federal Security Clearance by settling the required compliance fee. Within a short time, my funds—a total of $3.4 million—were successfully released and reflected in my wallet. The process was strict, but I understand now that it was necessary to ensure everything was compliant and secure. I appreciate how thorough Coinbase was in protecting both my assets and the platform's integrity."
Michael R., Private Investor, Miami, FL
"The clearance felt like an extra step, but when large numbers are involved, it’s needed. I cleared the compliance fee and shortly after, my $2 million in assets were released. Coinbase's protocol was tight, but I’d rather a secure delay than a legal issue."
Jason T., Tech Startup Founder, Austin, TX
"I was initially skeptical about the Federal Compliance Fee, but once I completed the clearance process, everything moved quickly. My $1.1 million was released without issues. As a business owner, I now understand the importance of proper legal clearance. Coinbase didn’t just move my funds—they protected them."
Maria M., CEO, Chicago, IL
"Coming from outside the U.S., I didn’t fully understand the need for the compliance fee. But after I processed it, my $8.2M transaction was approved and cleared. It was a relief to know Coinbase followed strict regulations. That level of compliance gives me long-term confidence."
Grace N., Investor, Cape Town, South Africa
"When I sold off a crypto-backed real estate portfolio, I had to move $6.6 million through Coinbase. The compliance fee was part of the process, and once cleared, my funds were released. It wasn’t just about moving money—it was about doing it the right way."
Steven D., Real Estate Investor, Atlanta, GA
"As someone who handles large trades frequently, I can say the Federal Security Clearance process is absolutely legitimate. After clearing the compliance fee, our $2.8 million transfer was confirmed and settled. Coinbase’s structured process is a standard any serious platform should follow."
