  When funds are on hold in your Coinbase account, it means that there is a temporary hold placed on those funds. This can happen for various reasons, such as security checks, suspicious activity, or compliance with regulatory requirements. The duration of the hold depends on the specific circumstances, but Coinbase typically provides an estimated timeframe for when the funds will be available. It's important to note that funds on hold are still in your account, but you may not be able to use or withdraw them until the hold is lifted.

The hold can be triggered by various factors, such as large transactions, changes in account activity, or potential fraud detection. Coinbase will usually notify you about the hold and provide an explanation. The duration of the hold can vary, but it's typically resolved within a few days.
