  Yes, it is normal for a Coinbase wallet address to change frequently. Coinbase uses a feature called 'address reuse prevention' to enhance the privacy and security of its users. By generating a new address for each transaction, Coinbase makes it more difficult for anyone to track your transactions and associate them with your wallet. This is a common practice in the cryptocurrency industry to protect user privacy.

  Coinbase wallet addresses change to improve security and privacy. Each time you receive funds, Coinbase generates a new address for you. This prevents others from easily tracking your transaction history and helps protect your funds. It's a good practice to use a new address for each transaction to maintain privacy in the cryptocurrency world.

  Wallet address changes are a normal part of using Coinbase. It's a security measure to protect your funds and maintain privacy. When you receive funds, Coinbase generates a new address for you. This helps prevent others from linking your transactions and provides an additional layer of security. Remember to always double-check the address before sending funds to ensure they are going to the correct destination.
