  Coinbase's proof of reserves is a way for the exchange to prove that it has the funds it claims to have. It's like a bank showing you its vault to prove it has the money you deposited. This is important in cryptocurrency because there have been cases of exchanges running out of funds or being hacked. Coinbase's proof of reserves helps build trust and confidence in the platform.
