About Coinbase
We are building the cryptoeconomy – a more fair, accessible, efficient, and transparent financial system enabled by crypto.
We started in 2012 with the radical idea that anyone, anywhere, should be able to easily and securely send and receive Bitcoin. Today, we offer a trusted and easy-to-use platform for accessing the broader cryptoeconomy.
Coinbase powers the cryptoeconomy
Customers around the world discover and begin their journeys with crypto through Coinbase. 245,000 ecosystem partners in over 100 countries trust Coinbase to easily and securely invest, spend, save, earn, and use crypto.
Our Commitment to Compliance
A strong compliance foundation is critical to Coinbase’s mission of being the most trusted crypto platform. Adherence to regulatory requirements in all jurisdictions in which Coinbase operates ensures that we keep our customers - and the broader financial ecosystem - safe. To this end, we have developed a Compliance Program that is rooted in best practices from traditional financial services as well as innovative, sophisticated compliance technology to bring the crypto industry forward. We hold a high standard for what assets we list, what services we provide, and who has access to our products.
