  Coinbase requires a minimum of 3 confirmations for Bitcoin transactions. This means that after a transaction is broadcasted to the Bitcoin network, it needs to be included in at least 3 blocks before Coinbase considers it as confirmed. This requirement helps ensure the security and integrity of the transactions on their platform.

  To protect against double-spending and other fraudulent activities, Coinbase requires 3 confirmations for Bitcoin transactions. Confirmations are essentially blocks that have been added to the Bitcoin blockchain after the transaction has been included in a block. The more confirmations a transaction has, the more secure and irreversible it becomes.
