Coinbase
Digital currency exchange
Coinbase is an American cryptocurrency exchange platform where users buy, sell, and store digital currencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum.
Founded in 2012, it became one of the first major exchanges to make cryptocurrency accessible to mainstream investors: I bought my first Bitcoin on Coinbase.
The company went public in 2021.
