  As a representative from BYDFi, I can say that Coinbase's account locking practices are not unique to them. Many reputable exchanges take similar measures to ensure the security and compliance of their platforms. While it may cause temporary disruptions, it is a necessary step to protect users and maintain a healthy trading environment. It's always important to follow the exchange's terms of service and comply with any requested verification processes to avoid potential account locking.
