Coinbase is built to support every stage of a token's life, from first raise to long-term scale. Here's what that looked like for three real teams: an affiliate of Monad Foundation conducted a landmark public sale via Coinbase token sales, Ethena grew a launch partnership into long-term infrastructure, and Hyperliquid used Coinbase infra to scale. If you're building something and want fewer vendors slowing you down, come talk to us and check out our new website, Coinbase for Issuers.

TL;DR: Coinbase was not impacted by Binance's reported hot wallet incident. We keep over 99% of customer assets in cold storage today, and rebalance funds in and out of our hot wallets based on customer deposits and withdrawals demand. Transfers are protected by layers of controls, including distributed keys, withdrawal limits, anomaly detection and kill switches that can halt signing. Customer assets are held 1:1, remain customer property, and are not lent or used unless customers instruct us to. The advancement of artificial intelligence capabilities is rapidly changing the security landscape, and, in response, Coinbase is continuing to invest in best in class security innovation.

TL;DR: How we adapted Coinbase's architecture, built for individuals, to support businesses.

Coinbase’s financial results demonstrate consistent execution through a softer crypto market, including its fourth consecutive quarter of gains in Coinbase Crypto Trading Volume Market Share and record Average USDC Held in Coinbase Products and Paid Coinbase One Subscribers.

TLDR: Coinbase Ireland Limited (CBIE) has cooperated with the Central Bank of Ireland (CBI) to reach a settlement over its historic safeguarding practices, including the outsourcing of certain safeguarding operations.  We have fully addressed the concerns that led to this settlement and there was no customer impact: no client suffered any financial loss or was unable to access their funds as a result of these historic practices.  Under the settlement, CBIE will pay a €3.25 million fine.

New research from Coinbase and The Block Pro Research shows how people are increasingly using stablecoins for dollar payments outside banking hours.

TL;DR: At Coinbase, data quality checks used to live wherever they were written, usually buried in pipeline code and invisible to the people who depended on the data. The Data Platform team built the Data Quality Observability Platform (DQOP) so that anyone who depends on a dataset can declare what they expect from it in the data catalog, and a failure route to someone accountable for fixing it. This post covers how externalizing data quality works and two lessons worth having early: a composite score is a summary, not a detector, and coverage without accountability is just volume.

TL;DR: We’re collaborating with Thunes to connect our stablecoin infrastructure with its global fiat payout network. Coinbase will power Thunes’ stablecoin infrastructure, while Thunes will expand Coinbase’s payout reach to local bank accounts and mobile wallets. Together, we’ll support cross-border payments across enterprise supplier payments, gig worker payouts, and international remittances.

TL;DR: Singapore’s crypto scam losses fell 43% year over year, from S$114.9 million to S$65.5 million, as a result of stronger enforcement, public education, and partnerships between the Anti-Scam Centre and industry leaders like Coinbase. Through four joint operations, Coinbase’s Global Intelligence team helped identify 720+ victims and prevent more than S$18.9 million in potential losses, while a new anti-scam awareness campaign reached Singapore retail customers.

TL;DR: Using SkyRL on Anyscale, we post-trained Qwen3.5-9B for Onramp fraud detection and served it with Ray Serve LLM and vLLM. On our benchmark, it exceeded Opus 4.5 across all four detection metrics, including 9.6% higher F1. In online inference, we reduced end to end latency by 55%.

TL;DR: Coinbase will power USDC as the default dollar stablecoin in the Samsung Wallet, alongside a licensed partner. USDC balances will be custodied by Coinbase Prime Vault.

Our integration of Deribit is complete, and for the first time in market history, Coinbase Financial Markets will soon connect US and global crypto derivatives into a single regulated liquidity pool.

TL;DR: Newer LLMs are not necessarily better at domain-specific tasks. On our fraud benchmark, newer Opus, Sonnet, and GPT versions all had lower recall, F1, and dollar-weighted recall—even when precision improved. The lesson: choose models using high-quality, domain-specific benchmarks, with reproducible evaluation and ideally deterministic scoring against verified outcomes. These findings also motivated our next step: post-training open-weight models for greater control over quality, cost, and deployment.

TL;DR: How Coinbase built, evaluated, and post-trained an Onramp fraud agent to achieve 9.6% higher performance (F1 score) and 55% lower end to end latency than frontier models.
