You’re about to hear is part 2 of my conversation with Sam McIngvale, who runs Coinbase Custody.
Whereas the first part of this conversation was focused on custody, the second part of this conversation focuses more generally on the suite of institutional products that Coinbase is rolling out, including their prime brokerage offering.
In the episode that you’re about to hear, we discuss . . .
- An overview of Coinbase’s suite of institution product offerings
- Why consumer products in the crypto space are optimizing for getting the greatest number of individual users, whereas institutional products are designed around
- servicing the greatest amount of capital
- How Coinbase Prime operates as a service layer on top of Coinbase’s products for institutional customers
- Coinbase’s forthcoming OTC offering
- The need for additional order types for cryptoassets
- A discussion of Coinbase’s soon to be shuttered index fund
We also discuss how coinbase markets, which provides a shared pool of liquidity for all of Coinbase’s products…. is both an internal service provider to the rest of coinbase and a product available to market makers and high-frequency traders.
