San Francisco, CA

Coinbase has built the world's leading compliant cryptocurrency platform serving over 30 million accounts in more than 100 countries. With multiple successful products, and our vocal advocacy for blockchain technology, we have played a major part in mainstream awareness and adoption of cryptocurrency. We are proud to offer an entire suite of products that are helping build the cryptoeconomy and increase economic freedom around the world.

In 2012, Coinbase had the radical idea that anyone — anywhere — should be able to easily and securely access Bitcoin. We see cryptocurrency as the future of money and a catalyst for creating an open financial system around the world.Today, more than 43 million people* in over 100 countries trust Coinbase to buy, sell, store, use and earn cryptocurrency.

Our mission is to create an open financial system for the world.

An open financial system is one that is not controlled by any one country or company (just like the internet did for distributing information). We think this is the highest leverage way to bring about more economic freedom, innovation, efficiency, and equality of opportunity in the world. We have a ten year plan to get there.

Imagine if every payment in the world was as fast, cheap, and global as sending an email.

Imagine if anyone who had an idea for a product could have customers all over the world from day one.

Imagine if anyone with a smartphone had access to the same financial services we enjoy in the developed world.

An open financial system can be a great equalizer and lift billions out of poverty while accelerating the pace of innovation around the world. This is the best way we know to change the world.
