Fun clip from our earnings call. Everyone loves the Coinbase One card!

[Paul Grewal @iampaulgrewal]

Imagine opposing a regulated trust charter because you prefer crypto to stay … unregulated. That’s ICBA’s position. It’s another case of bank lobbyists trying to dig regulatory moats to protect their own. From undoing a law to go after rewards to blocking charters, protectionism isn’t consumer protection.

Beware of politicians taking your hard earned private property because they deem it “unproductive.” The road to hell is paved with good intentions. This will bury France. America will rise by getting more people in the game of capitalism as opposed to burning it down. 🇺🇸🚀

Advanced trading on Coinbase got a lot better this year

We had some catching up to do, and after investing a lot of resources we’re getting to a good spot

If you haven’t used it recently give it another try, and keep the feedback coming!

Some more info on the challenge here: https://t.co/mZFArfNx81

[Brian Armstrong @brian_armstrong]

Fun story - some students outperformed professional financial analysts in a challenge we set leading up to our Q3 earnings.

This was a creative way our team designed for us to search for top talent. We set a challenge for students to use our Q2 2025 10-Q and public data to forecast Q3'25 revenue.

We got a ton of great entries, and 10 of them landed within 1% of our Q3 results, while the street estimates were off by 3%. And the winner Tyler was only off by 0.06%!

Announcing all the winners soon, who get a PS5 Pro and an interview for a new-grad or intern role.

Thanks to everyone who took part!

Excited to be an investor in Preventive!

More than 300 million people globally live with genetic disease. Foundational research should be done to determine if safe and effective therapies can be developed to cure these diseases at birth. It is far easier to correct a smaller number of cells before disease progression occurs, such as in an embryo.

Are you paying $300+/yr for a Card, analyzing how to get some value back, and just watching points and miles slip away?

The Coinbase One Card is available for just $30 per year if you sign up now - and pays up to 4% BTC back for every purchase, alongside other no-brainer benefits like zero-fee trading, priority support, boosted rewards, and more

Just $30 for the year and 10x more valuable than all the cards that are 10x more expensive

It’s nearly 2026, and billions of people still have to wait for the US to wake up before they can trade the best financial markets.

Trading hours and markets that close are outdated.

Tokenized assets will be better for everyone, with instant settlement and 24/7 availability.

My favorite part of this is that we created a committee to approve the creation of new committees at Coinbase. 🤯 As Emilie said, she and I are the only two people on the committee. It has a lengthy and bureaucratic (err....rigorous!) process where you have to submit an application, and we are quite slow (err....thorough!) in our reviews.

Fight fire with fire. Use their own tactics against them.
