This raging popularity led Coinbase CEO, Brian Armstrong, to tell <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2018\/01\/13\/style\/bitcoin-millionaires.html\">The New York Times<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cwe can\u2019t guarantee the website\u2019s going to be up exactly when you need it.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Last August, Coinbase was valued at $1.6 billion as part of the company\u2019s series D funding round that brought it more than $100 million in new investment. This valuation made the company the first crypto unicorn \u2013 a designation for privately held companies with an estimated net worth of more than $1 billion.<\/p>\n<p>However, their revenues ballooned at the end of 2017. As crypto mania hit a fever pitch and investors poured into crypto markets, Coinbase greatly benefited. In a separate account, Recode <a href=\"https:\/\/www.recode.net\/2018\/1\/22\/16911692\/cryptocurrency-bitcoin-trading-coinbase-revenue-secondary\">estimates<\/a> that a strong November and December boosted Coinbase\u2019s revenue well above $1 billion for the first time.<\/p>\n<p>These strong numbers may have contributed to rumors earlier this month that Coinbase is pursuing a brokerage license and an official designation as an electronic-trading platform. This designation would provide the company with regulatory cover should U.S. officials impose restrictions on digital currencies in general or crypto trading platforms in particular.<\/p>\n<h2>Positioned For The Future<\/h2>\n<p>Although Coinbase <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/coinbase-warn-vcs-back-off-booking-1-billion-revenue\/\">only exchanges<\/a> four cryptocurrencies, its app and digital exchange are extremely popular. What\u2019s more, the company has voided many of the scandals or thefts that plagued other exchanges. Its ease-of-use, availability, and reliability make it a fan favorite among investors.<\/p>\n<p>Recently, the company was named one of the best places to work in the Bay Area, and they are continually publishing new additions to their team.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">We\u2019re proud to be named one of the best places to work in the Bay Area.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhile most companies will focus on building up themselves, it\u2019s not always the case that a company also has to focus on building up an entire industry along with it.\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/PKFwbwnySt\">https:\/\/t.co\/PKFwbwnySt<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Coinbase (@coinbase) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/coinbase\/status\/987379780604510208?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">April 20, 2018<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Although its $8 billion valuation is an internal metric, it could represent a harbinger of things to come.
