I’m thrilled to share that I’m joining Coinbase as Chief Marketing Officer! I’ve long been a fan of @Coinbase as a product and as a disruptive brand willing to fight for economic freedom around the world.
I can’t wait to roll up my sleeves with @brian_armstrong, @emiliemc, and the rest of the team, at a time when the very definition of finance is changing and crypto is finally becoming more accessible and open. Let’s do this 🚀
It’s @catferdon, our new Chief Marketing Officer.
She’s joining Coinbase to help us keep the number of crypto users going up only.
With deep experience championing disruptive technology, most recently as CMO of @CashApp, Cat is the perfect person to steer our mission of onboarding a billion users and increasing economic freedom around the world.

At @Coinbase we keep more than 99% of funds in offline cold storage. We use Multi Party Computation (MPC) solutions to protect our cold wallets to prevent any person or system from transacting unilaterally.
These controls matter today more than ever. In the face of nation state level threads, AI fueled attacks, and criminal attacks - trust matters more than ever.
Users come to Coinbase to keep their money secure. We make sure that stays true.
Secure custody is daily work for us, not a one-time achievement.
That means 1:1 backing, >99% of funds in offline cold storage today, audited financials, key splits, no single points of failure and so much more.
Find out about that so much more here ↓

For the first time in 10 years, a new major version of Postgres is delayed.... because AI is helping them find and fix so many bugs.
rhaas.blogspot.com/2026/10/p…
We've seen record sized breaches this past week and there has been a sharp rise in security incidents as AI is weaponized to find and exploit vulnerabilities in code.
What's less visible is the much steeper rise in how AI is being used to write more secure software and defend at every layer.
Builders have always had a fundamental advantage against attackers because they have full access to source code and control over system design.
We haven't always had the resources to fully take advantage of this asymmetry, but now with AI we do.
Everything we build can now be designed and pentested by the best security minds (models) in seconds -- for cents.
Not all teams have had the time to catch up yet, so we're not out of the woods as an industry.
But as the best teams fully modernize how they ship, AI is also enabling an era of the most trusted software ever. You don't see this in dramatized headlines yet, but it's a very good time to build.
Max and Jeff are out here eating and leaving no crumbs while taking Faire to the top 🚀 @MaxRhodesOK @kolovson

I'm hiring a Head of Social Support @Coinbase, and I'll be honest: the bar is high.

If that sounds like you, my DMs are open - let's talk!

The sheer scale of a trillion dollars can be hard to comprehend. Let me put it in perspective. You would have to earn a dollar a year for a trillion years straight to have that much money.
