If you have sent it on an address, it is still on that address and didn't leave for the universe yet so to get hidden out somewhere else. /s
Stop acting like a kid, I know it's your mistake but at least they are looking into it. So, either way, they might try to (most probably) add wBtc to their smart contract and let you be able to get your money back. Not just that, try to get this resolved because you already know that crypto market is volatile and if your asset is volatile enough, don't let it stay for too long in their hands. Trust me, coinbase ain't gonna steal nothing from you, just wait, keep patience and co-operate with them. I hope that your KYC is already verified there so you don't have to prove your ownership and wait for your KYC verification to get completed.

The chances are small you will get a back but you should try.

Unfortunately contacting the receiver of your funds is not really possible you would need to go via coinbase directly. Honestly I would just keep asking the support staff and see their reply. If they don't really want to help you I would retry the support team at different time and maybe you get more lucky with a different person on the support desk. Good luck, I know this really hurts. Happened to me too.

In the future better to tripple check the adress. I guess it's a mistake you will only do once.

It is encouraging that they have asked for the transaction hash. At least this means they are looking in to it. Are you fully verified on Coinbase with KYC? If you are not, I suspect they will ask you to do this before returning your funds.

It shouldn't be. Your money is categorically not gone. You sent an Ethereum token to the Ethereum address on your account. Coinbase control that Ethereum address, and so they can access all tokens sent to it. They can return your money, the only question here is whether or not they will. Since it is a significant amount of money they may be more willing to help, and if not, the threat of legal action should do it.

If you don't mind answering, what country or jurisdiction do you live in?


Thank you so much for saying this. It’s made me feel a little bit better about the whole situation.

Next time don't use Coinbase because you don't have full control of your wallet so if you made mistake you can not able to recover them back as what they said from the faq. "Coinbase will not be able to recover tokens sent to the wrong address."


You are lucky if they grant your request to recover your token but for me, there is a 10% chance that they can grant your request to send or recover back the token.
