In the world of crypto, where every second counts more than a gentleman’s word, Coinbase Global Inc (NASDAQ: COIN) finds itself in quite the predicament. The esteemed exchange, much like a gentleman with a penchant for brooding over his investments, is facing a storm of criticism over significant delays in processing Solana (SOL) transactions. These delays, as reported by The Block, have left many a user feeling as frustrated as a Lady Austen character in a heated debate over a gentleman’s honor.
Users, much like the inhabitants of Meryton gossiping about Mr. Darcy’s latest scandal, have taken to X (formerly Twitter) to share their woes. Withdrawals and deposits have been affected, with some experiencing wait times stretching to an unfathomable 15 hours. One must wonder, in a market where speed is valued as much as a gentleman’s carriage, what must it be like to wait so long for one’s transactions to process?
The Growing Problem: Hours-Long Delays
Mike Dudas, a managing partner at 6th Man Ventures, shared his tale of woe, much like Elizabeth Bennet recounting her experiences with Mr. Collins. Two transactions from his Solana wallet to Coinbase have taken an eternity, with the second one still pending. One can only imagine the tea parties held in anticipation of these transactions being finalized.
Some speculate that the delays are due to Solana’s network being congested, akin to a ballroom filled with eager suitors and debutantes. The launch of the TRUMP and MELANIA memecoin on the Solana blockchain, much like the arrival of a scandalous new arrival at a ball, has only added to the chaos.

While other exchanges manage Solana transactions with the grace of a well-choreographed ballroom dance, Coinbase’s delays are as surprising as finding Mr. Bennet in a ballroom, not a library. This has led to concerns about Coinbase’s internal systems, much like the gossip surrounding Mr. Darcy’s true feelings for Elizabeth.
However, Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong, much like Mr. Darcy after his proposal, has acknowledged the issue and apologized for the inconvenience. He confirmed that the company is working hard to scale up its infrastructure to keep up with the recent surge in Solana transactions, promising improvements like a gentleman’s promise to reform.
We’re aware of delays with Solana sends and receives on Coinbase. Your funds are safe and secure. At Coinbase all customer assets are held 1:1, we have not run out of Solana. Transparency is key, and we want to share what’s happening and how we’re working to fix it. 🛠️

For now, users can only wait, much like Elizabeth waiting for Mr. Darcy’s second proposal, hoping that the planned improvements lead to a smoother experience soon. After all, in the world of crypto, as in the world of manners, patience and perseverance are virtues to be cultivated.
