Before depositing to Coinbase, screen your wallet for the sanctions, mixer and scam exposure its compliance system flags; Plastron's free instant check covers 10 chains with no signup, non-custodial, and a free account unlocks the full result.
Coinbase Wallet Check
Coinbase is the most regulated US exchange. Their compliance team flags wallets that most other platforms would let through.
Coinbase is a publicly traded company on the NASDAQ, subject to US securities law, FinCEN registration, and money transmitter licenses in dozens of states. That regulatory exposure makes their compliance team exceptionally conservative. Coinbase has frozen customer funds, filed SARs with FinCEN, and terminated accounts over AML concerns more than any other major US exchange — by a significant margin. Their blockchain analytics infrastructure combines Chainalysis KYT and TRM Labs scanning, meaning deposits are cross-checked against multiple threat intelligence databases simultaneously. Coinbase also enforces travel rule requirements, meaning the source of large deposits is scrutinized in detail. If your wallet has interacted with a known mixer contract, received tokens from a phishing address, or has counterparties that appear on OFAC lists, Coinbase's systems will flag it. The investigation process that follows involves enhanced due diligence requests — bank statements, wallet ownership proof, and source-of-funds documentation. Running a Plastron scan before depositing lets you know exactly what they will see.

Full Compliance Pre-Check
Plastron replicates the counterparty analysis that Coinbase runs on every deposit. We map your wallet's direct counterparties against OFAC, known mixer contracts, exploit addresses, and 3,800+ flagged entities. You get a pre-submission compliance report that tells you where your risk exposure sits.
Source-of-Funds Documentation Support
If Coinbase sends an Enhanced Due Diligence request, you need to explain each flagged counterparty. Our scan results provide the exact transaction details — amounts, dates, and entity types — that you'll need to compile a coherent response. Having this information ready dramatically improves your chances of a successful appeal.
Risk Verdict Before You Send
Your scan produces a risk score and verdict (Low, Medium, High, or Critical) with a breakdown by category. A Low verdict means your wallet is unlikely to trigger Coinbase's automated systems. Higher verdicts indicate you should investigate the flagged counterparties before making a deposit.
