BlockTower Capital founder Ari Paul alleges Coinbase lost about $25 million of his firm's funds and accuses the company of hiding losses exceeding $1 billion involving other firms. Coinbase denies these claims but has not specifically addressed the $25 million loss. This dispute highlights broader issues around Bitcoin custody, such as who can authorize transfers and how to verify asset holdings. While Coinbase offers controls like transfer approvals and proof-of-reserves reports, these do not fully guarantee asset security or liability. The SEC has proposed new custody rules, but they are not yet in effect and would not apply to all Bitcoin holders.
