No, once your account is deleted, it cannot be recovered.
All your cryptocurrency holdings will be lost when you delete your account.
Coinbase states a data retention period of 5 years after account deletion. Back-ups and statutory records can fall outside that figure, so request written confirmation from support if you need certainty.
The stated recovery window is 30 days. Once that passes the deletion is permanent and the account cannot be restored.
Deleting your account means: Loss of all account information; Loss of all cryptocurrency holdings. Export or download anything you want to keep before you begin â it is normally not recoverable afterwards.
Have the following ready: Account verification; No outstanding transactions. Having it to hand avoids getting part-way through the flow and having to start again.
Coinbase is recorded as GDPR compliant and recorded as CCPA compliant. If you are in the EU or California you can also file a formal erasure request under GDPR Article 17 or the CCPA â that route creates a record you can follow up on, separately from the in-product delete flow.
Common alternatives include Binance, Kraken, Gemini. If you are switching because of how Coinbase handles your data, check the replacement's retention and deletion policy before you migrate.
