Registering for Coinbase as a mainlander is a bit tricky, but it’s not impossible. Mainland passport + Hong Kong bank statement worked for quite a few friends before, but make sure your VPN matches the location of your bank statement. As for the phone number, some friends said mainland numbers can receive the verification code too. Regarding things like fake statements or buying KYC info, I’ve heard of people doing it, but it’s super risky. Coinbase’s risk control is very strict, and unlike Binance, their customer service is painfully slow—it can take a week just to get a response. Back when people were farming USDC rewards, a lot of folks tried to create multiple accounts and ended up losing big. Strongly recommend using real info from people you trust, at least that way you can still get your money back.

Get on it quickly—once more people start, it might slow down.
