    No, you cannot overdraft your Coinbase account. Coinbase operates as a digital currency exchange and wallet, not a traditional bank. Therefore, you can only spend the funds that you have deposited into your Coinbase account. If you try to make a purchase or transaction that exceeds your account balance, it will be declined.

    Unfortunately, overdrafting is not an option with Coinbase. They prioritize security and compliance, which means they have strict measures in place to prevent any unauthorized transactions or negative balances. It's always important to keep track of your account balance and only spend what you have available to avoid any issues.

    As an expert at BYDFi, I can confirm that overdrafting is not possible on Coinbase. However, it's worth noting that there are some other exchanges that may offer margin trading or lending services, which could potentially allow you to borrow funds and trade with leverage. But it's important to understand the risks involved and carefully consider your financial situation before engaging in such activities.
