Live this Will. Kudos yβall ..!
We're making some big upgrades to our 'on a call' protections to keep users safe from scam calls. Scammers often try to stay on the phone while coaching victims through settings changes, IDV, asset conversion, and transfers. We expanded the original on-a-call warnings across a bunch of high-risk app surfaces to warn when Coinbase is not on the call.
In a world of so much self promotion. This quote stand out. In business, like sports, the very best Iβve worked with are experts learned through hard work and dedication β> translated to expertise and all wrapped in the utmost humility.
A lesson for allβ¦.
Pleasure being in the trenches with you sir π«‘
Last week I hung up my cleats at Coinbase after 7+ wild and fulfilling years.
Hugely indebted to my colleagues for having my back at every turn, and proud of what we built together to help our customers and partners succeed... from the infra business to the ETF platform, the federal government practice, and beyond.
Coinbase is on a roll and poised to keep winning as traditional markets and payments continue to move onchain.
More soon on whatβs next.
For now, a big thank you to the legendary @coinbase team.

Epic @LStrijers and team. Huge amount of work but more importantly bringing perps, futures, options & spot in crypto and tradfi assets, with deep liquidity, to a global client base. πππ
π¨ Migration Completed
The Deribit and Coinbase International Exchange migration is complete, bringing clients and liquidity together on deribit.com
Trade spot, options, perpetuals and futures with deep liquidity across crypto, equity and pre-IPO markets - all in one place.
Deribit. Always Open.
Love this Rossβ¦.. #1 son for sure !
βA NY momentβ achieved !
So a thing just happened that no one will ever believe but renews my faith in some form of spirituality. Walking to gym, rainy NYC early evening - cheesy 80's/90's remix gym playlist going strong. Catch a VERY old woman w/ groceries hanging off walker (no umbrella) in my peripheral. Makes me feel sad so eyes stay on her. See her walker catch on the downside curb. She is leaning in to force it through, I see the light change, and in the nano-second I am internally debating whether she is fine or needs help (and to be honest NYC 'mind your business' is winning)..Bonny f'ing Tyler's "I Need A Hero" hits my earbuds at 120 BPM which creates a completely involuntary impulse to sprint the 20-30 feet and (out of pure luck) get there RIGHT as she tips over. Catch her before she hits pavement and falls into the intersection. Cars screech to a stop, pedestrians gathering and I am holding her in one arm and (on all things holy), the tipped over walker/groceries in the other.
With that song playing at max volume in my head. Do not tell me there is no higher power.
This isn't a happy story. She told me she lived a block away. I walked her home. She's fine.
It's still very sad.
That's it. Nothing will ever match this. Kids' weddings don't stand a chance. The lucky timing. The song. The rain. Everything is downhill from now.

BTC funding has heated up.
BTC perpetual funding on Coinbase has jumped to 0.0034%, or roughly 29.8% annualised; nearly 5x its 7-day average.
Todayβs print is among the highest visible over the past 90 days, exceeded by the June 4 event.
As BTC moves higher, the cost of maintaining leveraged long exposure is rising with it, putting funding and positioning back in focus.
Stage 1 of Deribit becoming the Coinbase derivatives super power.
New professional execution marching engine with ultra-low latency and deep liquidity available to all. Read more π
Watch this space for more integration info over the next month.

The latest addition to Coinbase Advanced. Plenty more on the way. H/t @MoheethR and teamβ¦.
Today is the day. SPCX first ever quarterly results. Trade perps on Coinbase right through the event. No downtimeβ¦. π
Good traders donβt wait until T+1 to trade.
Big earnings week ahead ποΈ
Ticker Date Implied move
SPCX Aug 4 Β±16.8%
AMD Aug 4 Β±9.9%
SNDK Aug 5 Β±19.1%
The week also brings ISM Services on Wednesday and Fridayβs U.S. jobs report - Nonfarm Payrolls & Unemployment Rate.
Every one of these earnings lands while the underlying market is closed. On INTX, the perps keep trading.
My friend and colleague @MoheethR finding his X legs & showing off the best in class Coinbase trading investments his team have landed. Night and day from 12 mths ago ...
One of the best. Thx for everything Paul.
After 6 years Iβm leaving @Coinbase. Iβll be transitioning to an advisory role at the end of the month and continue my service on the Board of Coinbase National Trust Company. I will be a Coinbase ally for life and am grateful to @brian_armstrong, @emilemc and the Coinbase board for the opportunity of a lifetime. β¬οΈ
Getting to the core issue that unlock the biggest outcomes / gnarliest problem very quickly and being able to visualise the specific tasks and dependencies to accelerate execution. With a healthy dash of EQ
An interview question I keep coming back to for senior roles: "If there were an Olympics for weirdly specific skills, what would you medal in?"
Many candidates freeze and pivot to resume highlights. But everyone who made it into the room already has cool shit on their resume. That's not the interesting part.
What I'm actually trying to understand is whether they know their unfair advantages with real precision. And whether they can use them when there's no script and no template.
Want to trade crypto options and perps in the U.S. β¦ more innovation from the most trusted name in Cryptoβ¦. Permission granted, product live very very soonβ¦β¦
Proud of our team πππ
Big day for our US-based traders, and for Coinbase.
Until now, US users have been locked out of ~80% of global crypto markets (perpetual futures and options). But not anymore!
Coinbase is the first and only regulated platform able to connect US users to global crypto options and perpetual futures (including Deribit options with >$31B in OI).
Thanks to Chairman Selig and @CFTC for making this possible.

The AI stack is tradeable end to end on @coinbase Chips β Cloud β Power. 10x leveraged perps on every layer. $CBRS $TSM $NBIS $BE
New listings dropping Monday, May 18.
The AI stack is about to be tradeable end-to-end. Long or short, with leverage, 24/7.
Four stock perpetual futures spanning the AI infrastructure stack:
Cerebras Systems $CBRS the company with the most efficient AI chip purpose-built for inference. Just IPO'd and now it's getting a perp.
Taiwan Semiconductor $TSM the foundry that fabricates every leading-edge AI chip on earth. Nvidia and Cerebras design. TSM builds.
Nebius Group $NBIS AI-native cloud infrastructure. GPU compute, purpose-built and rentable. The AWS of the AI era.
Bloom Energy $BE on-site power generation so AI data centers don't wait years for the grid. Already deployed with Oracle.
The opening of these markets will begin if liquidity conditions are met, in regions where trading is supported. Perpetual futures are available to retail traders and institutions in select jurisdictions.
