# **First Things First: Why Panicking Hurts the Situation**

To see your portfolio go from whatever positive value it had been at to **zero** can be very frightening. Here’s the decisive truth:

**Coinbase Balance Zero or Missing** is almost invariably a display, sync, or processing problem, not a theft or loss of funds.

### Zero Balance vs Missing vs Pending

These scenarios appear similar but are actually very different from each other:
* Zero balance: App or web isn’t showing your balances accurately.

* _Missing asset:_ Money that is pending, held, or missing.

* **Pending**: This means the transaction has occurred but has not been finalized.

Each of these cases will still have access to funds in their accounts.

### **Why This Is Usually Not a Loss of Funds**

Coinbase employs the use of confirmations on the blockchain and its own processing. When one is lagging, your balance might look incorrect. Irreversible loss is a rarity, mostly in confirmed unauthorized withdrawals, not in most people experiencing balances at zero.

### **Confirm the Correct Account and Login**

* Did you accidentally make a second account with Coinbase?

### **The Most Common Explanations for a Coinbase Zero Balance**

### App Sync or Cache Issues

Mobile applications use cached data. In case it fails to refresh, balances will display as zero despite having the money.

### **Pending Deposits, Sends, or Receives**

If you have moved funds recently, the Bitcoins could be pending confirmations or Coinbase processing.

### **Network Congestion and Confirmations**

During peak times, blockchains operate at slower speeds. Coinbase will not credit funds until the conditions for confirmations have been met.

### **Open Orders Locking Funds**

The money held in open buy/sell transactions may look like "missing money." Check:

* Open Orders

* Unexecuted trades

### **Coinbase System Delays or Maintenance**
There may be delays in the case of Coinbase itself. This is normally fixed automatically.
