  During a fork, it's important to keep your BTC in a secure wallet that you control. While Coinbase generally supports forks and will credit you with the new coins, it's always safer to hold your coins in a wallet where you control the private keys. Consider using a hardware wallet like Ledger or Trezor for maximum security.

  To protect your BTC in Coinbase during a fork, you can also consider transferring your coins to a reputable exchange that explicitly supports the fork. Research and choose an exchange that has a good track record of supporting forks and ensuring the safety of users' funds. Remember to do your own research and exercise caution when choosing an exchange.
