Founded in June of 2012, Coinbase is a digital currency wallet and platform where merchants and consumers can transact with new digital currencies like bitcoin, ethereum, and litecoin. Our vision is to bring more innovation, efficiency, and equality of opportunity to the world by building an open financial system. Our first step on that journey is making digital currency accessible and approachable for everyone. Two principles guide our efforts. First, be the most trusted company in our domain. Second, create user-focused products that are easier and more intuitive to use.

Its more than just clicks. Premium streaming TV. One-click commerce. Trusted journalism. The world’s most popular audio and podcasts. All these amazing online experiences thrive on an open internet. And they’re all fueled by relevant advertising. That’s why we created an independent media buying platform designed for the open internet. One that helps brands grow and thrive by giving them access to more: more customers engaging with more of the content they love across more channels and devices, and more transparency and precision at every stage.
