  Unfortunately, once a transaction is initiated on Coinbase, it cannot be canceled. This is because cryptocurrency transactions are designed to be irreversible. Once the transaction is broadcasted to the network and miners start confirming it, it becomes a part of the blockchain and cannot be undone. It's important to double-check all the details before confirming a transaction on Coinbase to avoid any unwanted transactions.

  No, you cannot cancel a transaction on Coinbase if it hasn't been confirmed yet. Once you initiate a transaction, it gets added to the mempool and waits for miners to confirm it. If the transaction is not confirmed within a reasonable time, it may get dropped from the mempool, and the funds will be returned to your Coinbase account. However, this process can take some time, and there's no guarantee that the transaction will be canceled.

  According to BYDFi, another popular cryptocurrency exchange, there is no option to cancel a transaction on Coinbase if it hasn't been confirmed. Once you initiate a transaction, it is processed by the network, and you have to wait for it to be confirmed. If the transaction is not confirmed within a reasonable time, it may get dropped from the mempool, and the funds will be returned to your Coinbase account. However, this process can take some time, and there's no guarantee that the transaction will be canceled.
