Coinbase security enhancement prevents withdrawal for 48 hours

The title here is misleading, I went in expecting that Coinbase stopped withdrawals for 48 hours, which is not the case. They changed how long you have to wait before you can start using a brand new address. And after you wait 48 hours, you can use that address with no delays of any kind. Does not seem that nefarious to me.

I sort of agree, but it is weird they waited to add this until their coins are worth 66% less than their highs. Why didn’t they make that simple integer change from “8” to “48” when things were at the peak (and thus had more financial risk)
