Goldman Sachs partner Roger Bartlett is leaving the investment bank to run global financial operations at Coinbase (COIN), according to a LinkedIn post from Bartlett.
- “It’s time to embrace the cryptoeconomy,” wrote Bartlett, announcing the move after a 16-year run at Goldman, where he most recently led a team of about 2,500 as global co-head of operations for the bank’s global markets division.
- Coinbase has made no secret of its aggressive growth ambitions, saying in its earnings release Thursday night that it planned to spend $4.25 billion to $5.25 billion on tech/development, and general and administrative expenses this year. This includes a goal to hire 6,000 employees this year, largely for its technology and development teams.
- Financial News first reported Bartlett's move early Friday.

KuCoin captured a record share of centralised exchange volume in 2025, with more than $1.25tn traded as its volumes grew faster than the wider crypto market.
What to know:
- KuCoin recorded over $1.25 trillion in total trading volume in 2025, equivalent to an average of roughly $114 billion per month, marking its strongest year on record.
- This performance translated into an all-time high share of centralised exchange volume, as KuCoin’s activity expanded faster than aggregate CEX volumes, which slowed during periods of lower market volatility.
- Spot and derivatives volumes were evenly split, each exceeding $500 billion for the year, signalling broad-based usage rather than reliance on a single product line.
- Altcoins accounted for the majority of trading activity, reinforcing KuCoin’s role as a primary liquidity venue beyond BTC and ETH at a time when majors saw more muted turnover.
- Even as overall crypto volumes softened mid-year, KuCoin maintained elevated baseline activity, indicating structurally higher user engagement rather than short-lived volume spikes.
