Each of the 40+ companies we've acquired built something special before joining @coinbase & those ideas are a big part of what makes this company what it is today. Special thanks to @brian_armstrong @emiliemc @ShanAggarwal @jessepollak @rwitoff for joining our debut Acquired Founders/Leaders Dinner!
At the acquired founder dinner at @coinbase, which…buys a lot of companies.

Today we’re announcing our pre-seed round and a new product: @starslingdev Review Runners - code review agents that use your model key, your team’s skills and scripts, and reviewers you define, all running in GitHub Actions.
We’ve raised $3M from @BessemerVP and @ycombinator to agent-native.
code → verification (ci + code review) → production

StarSling Runners are now in GA! We did a ton of infra work to make our runners self-serve and are super excited that anyone can try them out now.
One customer who works with the frontier AI labs just signed up and migrated two of their most problematic workflows over to StarSling and saw an immediate 50% speedup in their jobs 🏎️
Every team should have faster, smarter, and cheaper CI.

Every team should have faster, smarter, and cheaper CI.
🗣️ Starting today, StarSling Runners are generally available!
StarSling Runners are an AI-native, drop-in replacement for ubuntu-latest that make your GitHub Actions up to 6x faster and 13x cheaper 🚀
Everyone has the option of getting fast CI runners now. What nobody has is CI s itself.
🎉 StarSling has now run over one million CI jobs for companies like @better_auth, @mastra, Partcl, and more. If your team runs CI on GitHub Actions using ubuntu-latest, you're now just a one line change away from faster runs.

Crypto is still early. The real challenge is updating the financial system. A stronger ecosystem increases liquidity, participation, and trust, and that benefits everyone.
Had a great time diving into how we're walking the walk at @coinbase 👇

Crypto’s next wave is real utility: capital formation, payments, & running businesses fully onchain. Every acquisition we make at @coinbase targets a specific pain point, and together are converging into a single platform for cryptonative financial services.
How did 2025 go for crypto funding, M&As, and IPOs — and what do VCs expect in 2026?
Spoke with top investors on why dealmaking surged while VC funding stayed selective, and what they’re watching heading into 2026. Many thanks to @HoolieG, @HadickM, @AriannaSimpson, @MathijsM11, @Quysin, @_aklil0, and @cosmo_jiang for sharing their insights 🙌

That was fast.
From our very first conversation it was clear that we shared a vision for where prediction markets are going and that Coinbase + Clearing would be a formidable fit.
I can think of no better venue to bring regulated prediction markets onchain.

Last week: prediction markets launch on Coinbase.
This week: we bring in the team that helped make prediction markets what they are today.
Just getting started.

Super pumped about this one - our 9th acquisition this year. @VECTORDOTFUN’s team + tech will help supercharge our trading experience – starting with expanding support for Solana. Welcome @ilmoi @0xrwu & team! 🤝
We’re doubling down on @solana.
Coinbase is acquiring @VECTORDOTFUN, an onchain trading platform built on Solana, whose tech will plug directly into Coinbase to help better serve one of crypto’s most active ecosystems.

Great time meeting the next wave of builders and talking M&A strategy at #TechCrunchDisrupt2025.
At @coinbase our goal is simple: help founders scale what they’ve built and bring more of the financial system onchain. This is how we build the future of finance.

There’s no roadmap for scaling in crypto. So @coinbase built our own - one acquisition, one investment, one partner at a time. And that’s why we’re leading this space.
Excited to talk more about our journey on M&A with @yonasbe with tips for builders & investors at @TechCrunch Disrupt today!
