From Goldman Sachs to Coinbase

Prior to joining Goldman Sachs, he was vice president at Credit Suisse for six years.

Bartlett announced on Linkedin Friday:

After 16 years at Goldman Sachs, it’s time to embrace the crypto economy. I am delighted to announce that next week I’ll be joining Coinbase to run Global Financial Operations.

He explained that now it is time to take his experience from Goldman Sachs and follow his “passion to help enable the next generation crypto economy.”

The former Goldman Sachs executive opined: “The inspiring purpose led mission to create economic freedom in the world, in a customer first, automation first approach is a once in a lifetime opportunity to be part of building the next stage of the digital evolution.”

Coinbase is a Nasdaq-listed cryptocurrency exchange operator. The company said Friday that the number of verified users on its platform has risen to 89 million. Meanwhile, the number of monthly transacting users reached 11.4 million at the end of last year.

Furthermore, Coinbase said its trading volume last year grew more than 8.5 times compared to the previous year, and its “market share of trading volume increased in virtually all assets.”

Paolo Ardoino, chief technology officer of both entities, tweeted that Bitfinex froze $13 million USDT on EOS as part of the hack. Tether froze $20 million USDT “sitting on this ethereum address as a precautionary measure,” he said. In its update, Kucoin maintains that funds in its cold wallets (offline storage, which is less susceptible to hacks) ar...
