From 26 August 2019 onwards, Coinbase’s UK customers will not be able to hold a Zcash balance anymore. The customers in the country will either have to convert Zcash into any other cryptocurrency or will have to move it to any other exchange or a hardware wallet. If users do not opt for either option by the mentioned date, Coinbase will automatically liquidate Zcash balances into customers’ GBP wallets.
