Coinbase Unveils Crypto Documentary

Coinbase releases a documentary charting the company’s rapid growth.

Directed by Emmy Award winner Greg Kohs, COIN tells the story of Coinbase’s rise from a startup to a publicly traded company and its place in the fast-growing cryptocurrency space. It focuses on the company’s co-founder and CEO, Brian Armstrong, and features other prominent crypto personalities such as Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin and MicroStrategy executive chairman Michael Saylor.

Advertise the film on Twitter On Tuesday, Armstrong said Kohs and his team had been given “unprecedented access inside the company” since 2019. Armstrong added that he agreed to the documentary because he “wanted to demystify what it takes to build a tech startup” and crypto itself.

The trailer states that the documentary “chronicles the rise of a visionary founder in crypto who harnesses the power of this new technology to advance a mission of global economic freedom.”

Armstrong co-founded Coinbase with Fred Ehrsam in the early days of the cryptocurrency movement in 2012. While Ehrsam went on to form the influential crypto investment firm Paradigm, Armstrong has led Coinbase as the company’s CEO, overseeing its rise to become the largest cryptocurrency exchange in the US As the documentary notes, Coinbase went public on the Nasdaq in April 2021, reaching a value of $100 billion on its opening day.

However, the firm has suffered this year due to a decline in crypto prices. The second-quarter earnings report revealed lower-than-expected net income of $802.6 million, and it has also had to contend with the lack of interest in the NFT market and an insider trading scandal picked up by the Department of Justice and Securities and the Exchange Commission.

COIN is set to drop on Apple, Amazon Prime and YouTube on October 7.
