Introducing Coinbase Markets

Coinbase already offers the deepest pool of liquidity to the largest number of participants in the cryptocurrency space.  We intend to continue developing this electronic marketplace, known as Coinbase Markets, by opening a new engineering office in Chicago and cementing Coinbase as the leading cryptocurrency exchange. 

Coinbase Markets provides a centralized pool of liquidity for all Coinbase products.  Over the course of the year Coinbase Markets will introduce new features like low latency performance, on-premise datacenter colocation services, institutional connectivity and access, and settlement and clearing services.  These additions will allow for a more efficient price discovery process to occur, creating tighter markets, deeper liquidity, and increased certainty of execution. 

We are thrilled to open an office in Chicago and have access to a large talent pool of engineers with deep exchange infrastructure experience.  This office will serve as the home for our Coinbase Markets team and enable us to continue offering the most performant and reliable cryptocurrency exchange.  Chicago is an ideal location for our newest Coinbase office and we hope our investment will continue to position the city as a growing hub for technological innovation.
