Binance vs Coinbase
Coinbase Reputation
Since Coinbase is a reputable company with a statutory audit, one cannot dismiss its assertion. However, the claim that Coinbase has 2 million bitcoins in reserve is difficult to believe, given that the company's market valuation is less than $10 billion.
Coinbase is Nasdaq listed public company, and first crypto based company that was included in Fortune 500 list, so it has good reputation. Such claims by CEO will not bring cool effects.
Grayscale Controversy
Coinbase holds grayscale assets, including bitcoin and ether. According to Coinbase, those assets are safe. However, Grayscale's sister company, Genesis, is now doubtful, so Grayscale is also facing heat, as does Coinbase, so clouds of doubt are on the crypto market.
Genesis Problem (Is Coinbase Lying)
According to Coinbase convertor, it holds more than $10 Billions of Garyscale Assets, which are safe, and on other hand, Genesis is requesting $1 Billion emergency loan. How come Garyscale cannot help its sister company with 10% assets which are safely HODLing in Coinbase?
