🚨 REMINDER: We are receiving an increase in reports of scam accounts impersonating affiliation with CB Ventures contacting teams on X and Telegram (likely for nefarious purposes). Only trust communications from official Coinbase Ventures sources in order to avoid scammers who are actively impersonating the @cbventures team.

• Our verified account is @cbventures, marked with a blue verified badge & official Coinbase badge.
• Legitimate team members are followed by @cbventures and use Coinbase email accounts.
• Current Team list: @ShanAggarwal, @HoolieG, @jonathankingvc, @brandonmyint, @jimenachacon, @0xNoroc, @SteimetzKinji
• Fake accounts may appear verified on X due to paid subscriptions.
• We never DM on Telegram without a prior introduction. • We will never ask you to download any type of software to schedule a meeting or conduct a call.
• We don’t use Zoom - only Google Meet, no .exe needed.
• Scammers may reference CBV employees by name, or claim they are a personal assistant of a named CBV employee - this is social engineering - do not engage.

If you come across a suspicious account, please report it directly on X or Telegram to help keep the community safe. Thank you, and happy building!

[Coinbase Ventures 🛡️ @cbventures]

Clearing infrastructure is foundational to every major financial market.

Crypto needs its own.

@cyclesmoney is building a privacy-preserving clearing network designed for stablecoins, trading firms, and onchain finance at scale.

[Cycles @cyclesmoney]

We’ve raised $8.7M to bring clearing to the masses. Our new round was led by Blockchange to work on the most powerful idea in finance.

It’s not just about moving money faster & cheaper; it’s about moving less while doing more.

[Catena @catena_labs]

We're also announcing a $30M Series A, co-led by @a16zcrypto and @AcrewCapital, with participation from @BreyerCap, @generalcatalyst, @QEDInvestors, @oakhcft, @IDGCapital, and @cbventures. $48M in total financing.

[Variational @variational_io]

We’ve raised $50M led by @dragonfly_xyz to go all in on RWAs and bring TradFi liquidity on-chain.

Today, we're launching Phase 1 of our RWA rollout to stress-test our infrastructure before bringing 100+ TradFi markets on-chain this summer.

[patrickogrady.xyz @_patrickogrady]

Today, we’re announcing Route 66 (a new initiative co-led by @coinbase to make it faster and cheaper to connect to specialized blockchains) and a strategic investment from @cbventures.

[Charms @charmsai]

Millions spend hours with AI characters.

But characters forget, creators don't earn, and the best experiences sit behind paywalls.

We raised $1.5M to build the character economy with @lattice_fund, @cbventures' Base Ecosystem Fund, @JME_Ventures; bootstrapped by @worldcoinfnd.

[The Tie @TheTieIO]

If users can leave overnight, what actually makes them stay?

- Incentives vs. real retention
- What actually creates stickiness
- And whether loyalty can exist in a permissionless market

@sylviatoeth (@Bullish) moderated a conversation with @keoneHD (@monad), Brian Truzo (@SuccinctLabs), @HoolieG (@cbventures), and @dotCuriousCat (@PortalVentures) on how protocols build durable value when switching costs approach zero.

[JK 🛡️ @jonathankingvc]

Stablecoins = up and to the right 🚀

Thanks for having me on @therollupco!

[Coinbase Institutional 🛡️ @CoinbaseInsto]

We're partnering with @KemetTrading to expand how institutional clients can access Coinbase spot, futures, and options markets through Kemet’s platform.

We're also investing in Kemet via @cbventures to support the partnership long term.

[Squads @multisig]

Announcing our latest $18M strategic round led by Solana Ventures. We're doubling down on the ecosystem: continuing to develop Solana’s leading multisig solution and expanding our footprint into global business finance with Altitude.

[Yano 🟪 @JasonYanowitz]

1/ Thrilled to announce our Series A extension at a $192M valuation.

Crypto is at an inflection point. The bottleneck to growth is no longer just the technology.

It's the trust gap between issuers and investors.

Blockworks will solve that.

[OpenGradient (∇, ∇) @OpenGradient]

OpenGradient Funding Update!

Announcing $9.5M in total funding to build the leading network for open, verifiable decentralized AI. 🧵 👇🏻

[👊🏽 Hoolie 👊🏽 @HoolieG]

Stablecoins are the 21st century unit of account, and receiving funding in stablecoins will always be an option for companies @cbventures invests in

[Cyril Mathew @cyril_mathew]

Over a decade ago at Uber, we were paying drivers across 40 countries. Their top ask: "Pay me faster." That stuck with me through Coinbase and Stripe, where I kept running into the same wall from different angles.

Today, Latitude (@rtp) is launching out of stealth. We raised an $8M seed round in Jan 2025 and have been building quietly since then.
