Fintech & Crypto
The future of money is automated, accessible, and personalized.
Overview
Lending, borrowing, and investing remain time-consuming, opaque processes largely run by traditional banks. But the world of money is on the precipice of fundamental change. Powered by rapid advances in open banking, crypto, and generative AI, money is undergoing a digital transformation that will break open the $11 trillion of market cap trapped by legacy institutions. We believe the best solutions will be those built by developers with strong domain expertise who create tools with customers as the focal point.
Areas of focus include Payments, Embedded Fintech, Vertical SaaS with embedded fintech, AI-enabled software, Infrastructure & Data Networks, and Consumer Fintech.

More than 245,000 ecosystem partners in over 100 countries trust Coinbase to easily and securely invest, spend, save, earn, and use crypto.
