Accordingly, during the time of the pause, you will not be able to sell or remove your BCH from Coinbase. If you wish to have access to your BCH during the pause, you will need to remove it from the Coinbase platform prior.”
In addition, Coinbase has refrained from giving timelines in relation to the hard fork event. On the contrary, it will monitor the situation and keep the users informed. The exchange has already made plans to carry out snapshots of Bitcoin Cash (original). This will ensure that its customer’s funds are secured.
