As a large, public company with a global presence, @coinbase can be the target of baseless litigation. We always fight to defend ourselves against unfounded claims.
Another one bites the dust, with a district court in PA dismissing a class action against us today. Read more below👇
We are grateful to the court for its careful consideration.

The GENIUS Act marks a watershed moment in American finance, further cementing the United States as the crypto capital of the world. Just as President Abraham Lincoln’s National Currency Act of 1863 established a national framework for bank-issued currency, the GENIUS Act establishes a federal framework for payment stablecoins in the digital age.
The @USOCC's final rule carries that landmark legislation forward, providing a clear, practical foundation for private-sector innovation, competition, and American leadership in digital assets.

The meeting dilemma: too many meetings kills a company, but you also need meetings to solve problems and get work done.
Companies are far better at adding meetings than removing them, which adds up quickly and wastes a ton of time.
It's currently no meeting week at Coinbase, which we do once a quarter. We use this to focus on deep work and reassess what calls/meetings actually need to exist. Meetings have to earn their place on the calendar, and cutting them out is an important part of our culture.

Imagine how many kids watched what happened at SpaceX tonight and want to become engineers.
This is good for humanity.
I wonder how many good ideas we dismiss because they are not "practical".
There is value in pushing the frontier for its own sake. It's exciting and motivating to work on (and also great marketing).
Everything is being tokenized, and you're bearish?
Life is short. Skeptics are probably right more often than they are wrong, but they also don't go on epic adventures or get to work on projects that move humanity forward. Ignore the skeptics and build the future!

The happiest moment of a man’s life. Oh and he got married too.
All over the country, kids just watched the Roadster fly and decided their own crazy ideas might be possible too.
Thanks, @elonmusk.
The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency reviewed nine of the nation’s largest banks and found all nine had policies that required, encouraged, or influenced staff to deny or limit service based on customers’ political or religious beliefs or lawful business activity.
Debanking people for their political beliefs is a threat to every American’s liberty.

Read this and found it very inspiring
Until I noticed the date it was posted. Then my brain broke
19 years ago, when my 1st company got bought, I had to decide between buying a house in Palo Alto or a McLaren F1 (best car ever imo). Was no contest. I bought F1 & a small condo that was much cheaper than the car. New Tesla Roadster will exceed all gas sports cars in every way…

That demo involved a non trivial chance of embarrassing failure! 🫡
I’m only going for the baseline model. At this point in my life, rocket bunny hops are out of my comfort zone.
