Perhaps someone with closer knowledge of USA finance law can fill me in - is there anything legal preventing Coinbase acting as trustee for customers as beneficiary? Surely that would avoid this situation (though there are probably commercial considerations why they don’t want to do that).


And if there isn't, I'm curious if there are other US exchanges that are structured in such a way (acting as a trustee for customers).
