Coinbase is a platform based in San Francisco that simplifies the buying and selling of cryptocurrencies. Currently available in over 30 countries, Coinbase also offers several features that make it one of the first stops for many cryptocurrency investors, including an online wallet, stablecoin (USDC), and asset management platform. With more than 25 million registered users, Coinbase is believed to be the largest cryptocurrency exchange in the world, and having raised over half a billion dollars in funding, it doesn't seem like Coinbase will be slowing down anytime soon. Coinbase has often been cited as one of the key players in advancing the cryptocurrency industry, pushing for excellent legal compliance and recently introducing its blockchain-based educational platform - Coinbase Earn - allowing users to learn about cryptocurrencies and be rewarded for it.
