What this question tests

Product design balancing education, trust and regulatory responsibility for a high risk financial product aimed at novices.

Define the user: someone with little crypto experience, at real risk of an uninformed, emotionally driven decision.
Identify the core tension: Coinbase wants trading volume, but a genuinely protective product must sometimes slow the user down before a risky trade.
Propose risk tiered onboarding that gates access to highly volatile assets behind a short, plain language risk explainer for that asset.
Propose in context nudges before a large or first time volatile purchase, showing a simple risk summary rather than a generic disclaimer.
Define success: reduction in rapid buy sell reversals among new users, alongside standard funnel metrics.

Names the real tension between trading volume incentive and protecting novice users, instead of ignoring it.
Proposes asset specific, plain language risk framing rather than a generic legal disclaimer nobody reads.
Uses a regret trading proxy metric as a meaningful signal of whether the feature actually helped.

Designing only a generic educational content hub users can easily skip without addressing point of decision risk.
Ignoring the real business tension between protecting users and Coinbase's trading volume incentive.

How would you balance this against regulatory requirements Coinbase already has to meet?
How would you know if the nudges are actually preventing bad decisions versus just adding friction?
