## Research questions

### Can a Coinbase UK signup campaign count registration as permission to trade?

Coinbase's UK signup guide separates application completion from identity verification, payment-method linking, investor self-certification and an appropriateness assessment. Only customers passing the assessment can buy or trade. Suggested measurement: keep registration distinct from trading permission in this UK provider example.

### Does Coinbase's UK onboarding allow trading immediately after signup?

Coinbase's UK guide requires a 24-hour waiting period after signup under the UK financial-promotions rules. Its assessment and verification checks are additional stages. A campaign promising immediate access would omit this provider's UK onboarding conditions.

### What documentation boundary belongs beside a Coinbase UK application offer?

The UK guide requires an adult applicant, supported government photo identification and an SMS-capable phone. It also describes tax-residency and TIN reporting beginning 1 January 2026, with a regional equivalent where applicable. These are Coinbase's stated UK-flow requirements, not a universal exchange checklist.

### Does a free Coinbase account mean every exchange transaction is free?

Coinbase's UK guide says creating or maintaining an account has no fee. Its separate fee explainer describes payment-method-dependent cash fees, variable trading fees and a spread on simple trades; fees and spread appear in the preview. Availability varies by region. Suggested measurement: distinguish account creation from a priced transaction.
