Dear Coinbase Customer,

We are contacting you to make you  aware of recent developments in a number of proposals for technical  changes to Bitcoin. All BTC stored on Coinbase will remain safe during  these events described below.

The User Activated Hard Fork (UAHF)  is a proposal to increase the Bitcoin block size scheduled to activate  on August 1. The UAHF is incompatible with the current Bitcoin ruleset  and will create a separate blockchain. Should UAHF activate on August 1,  Coinbase will not support the new blockchain or its associated coin.

The  User Activated Soft Fork (UASF) is a proposal to adopt Segregated  Witness on the Bitcoin blockchain and could result in network  instability. It is scheduled to activate at the same time as the UAHF.

To  ensure the safety of customers’ funds, we will temporarily suspend BTC  deposits, withdrawals, and buy/sell starting approximately 4 hours  before activation of either fork.

If you do not wish to have  access to UAHF coins, and do not wish to access your BTC during the  fork, you are not required to take any action.
If you do wish to have  access to UAHF coins or access your BTC during the fork, you should  send your BTC from Coinbase to your external address by July 31.
