  Yes, it is mandatory to have a phone number linked to your Coinbase account for every transaction. This is part of Coinbase's security measures to ensure the safety of your account and prevent unauthorized access. By providing your phone number, Coinbase can send you verification codes or alerts for any suspicious activities. It adds an extra layer of protection to your account and helps in recovering your account if you ever lose access to it.

  No, it is not mandatory to have a phone number for every transaction on Coinbase. While providing a phone number can enhance the security of your account, Coinbase offers alternative methods for verification and account recovery, such as email verification and security questions. However, it is recommended to link a phone number to your account for added security and convenience.
