Coinbase's CEO apologized after users complained about frequent prediction market notifications, stating it was a system issue.

Coinbase users have expressed dissatisfaction with the platform's frequent push notifications about prediction markets, with feedback focusing on "annoying" and "unreasonable." Many users reported receiving numerous prediction market-related notifications during the NCAA's March Madness basketball games. Some users believe this is turning the cryptocurrency exchange into a sports betting platform and have raised questions about the platform's fund management and risk control. Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong responded on the X platform, stating that the notification issue stemmed from a system vulnerability and apologizing to users. He stated that a fix is underway and promised to strike a balance between content delivery and user experience.
