“Coinbase Custody has extensive business continuity/disaster recovery plans in place, including a pandemic response plan. These plans provide direction to our internal teams and our vendors in the event that a disaster threatens to degrade our operations. Many of the existing design elements of Coinbase Custody’s cold storage operations have resilience features built in.”

Coinbase further explained Coinbase Custody has taken additional steps should a global pandemic outbreak occur at multiple sites, which are:

  • Establishing a plan to minimize our on-site staff requirement

“At present, we do not expect any disruption to withdrawal SLAs. As this situation develops we are committed to keeping you informed about how we are responding.”
