Coinbase fully insures all digital currency against losses resulting from a breach of Coinbase’s physical security, cyber security, or by employee theft.

If you're in the US, fiat deposits are covered by the FDIC just like bank deposits up to $250k:

The link you posted says that all digital currency coinbase stores online is insured. They also say that it is less than 2% of customers funds.

Also, to be clear, the FDIC insurance is on any cash balance in coinbase.
