Illustration of Coinbase's 40 Web3 business partners: from BlackRock ETF custody to AI autonomous payment ecosystem

Web3 asset data platform RootData recently organized Coinbase's business partner network in the cryptocurrency field, systematically presenting its complete business landscape from institutional custody services to on-chain developer ecosystem building.

Coinbase's customer base shows a significant trend towards institutionalization:

• BlackRock uses Coinbase Prime as its main custodian for its Bitcoin and Ethereum spot ETFs;
• Franklin Templeton issues tokenized money market funds on the Base network;
• Traditional banks such as Citibank and JPMorgan have also connected to Coinbase's infrastructure, laying out stablecoin payments and fiat currency clearing;
• Payment giants like Stripe, PayPal, and Shopify complete merchant-side settlement integration through USDC on Base and Coinbase Commerce.

On the supplier side, Coinbase tends to adopt robust blockchain technology services:

• Optimism provides the underlying architecture of the OP Stack for Base, Chainlink is responsible for price feeds, and Safe handles account abstraction;
• The compliance layer is jointly formed by three leading monitoring agencies: Chainalysis, Elliptic, and TRM Labs;
• KYC verification is handled regionally by several service providers such as Jumio and Onfido.

In terms of the developer ecosystem, Coinbase gathers AI Agent customers through the CDP (Developer Platform), with Firecrawl, Fereai, Questflow, and others achieving on-chain autonomous payments via the x402 protocol or CDP server wallets, marking Coinbase's extension towards "AI payment infrastructure."
