  Coinbase requires users to provide their Social Security Number (SSN) during the account registration process. This is a standard practice followed by most reputable cryptocurrency exchanges. The SSN is used for identity verification purposes and to comply with Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) regulations. It helps Coinbase ensure that the user is not involved in any illegal activities and provides a safer environment for all users.
