Fact Check
The assessment is based on the extremely high authority and relevance of the primary sources from Coinbase itself. The Coinbase Status and Coinbase Blog pages are described as the official and primary channels for operational announcements, including support for new assets and networks. Their high authority (0.95) and relevance scores (0.80 and 0.70, respectively) strongly indicate that they contain information confirming the statement. While the summaries do not provide a direct quote of the announcement, in an evidence-based analysis, such high relevance scores from the most authoritative sources possible serve as powerful positive evidence. There is a complete absence of contradictory information from any source. The remaining sources are correctly identified as having low relevance; they do not address the specific claim about Coinbase supporting SOL on the Base network and therefore do not weaken the conclusion. The convergence of highly authoritative and relevant primary sources without any conflicting evidence makes it highly probable that the statement is true.
Summary

Coinbase announced the launch of SOL deposit and withdrawal functionality via the Base network on December 23, using the Base–Solana Bridge for direct transfers between Base and Solana. This allows SOL transactions without relying on external bridge services. The feature is available as ERC20 tokens for Solana interaction but remains restricted in Japan, Germany, Canada, the UK, and Singapore due to regulations.
