In this role she was tasked with overseeing corporate development, business development, and business operations to help scale [Coinbase](https://iq.wiki/wiki/coinbase) globally through acquisitions, investments, and partnerships.[[21]](#cite-id-xmynv7er1) Within three months of her appointment, she led [Coinbase](https://iq.wiki/wiki/coinbase)'s acquisition of three companies: Cipher Browser (April 2018), Earn.com (April 2018), and Paradex (May 2018). She also initiated the launch of [Coinbase](https://iq.wiki/wiki/coinbase) Ventures in April 2018, a venture capital firm dedicated to supporting early-stage companies in the [cryptocurrency](https://iq.wiki/wiki/cryptocurrency) and [blockchain](https://iq.wiki/wiki/blockchain) space. On June 19th, 2018, Emilie became the COO of [Coinbase](https://iq.wiki/wiki/coinbase) and then took on the additional role of President while retaining her position as COO on November 20th, 2018. In a June 2022 interview, she explained that Coinbase was cutting about 18% of its workforce to manage costs and adjust to deteriorating crypto market conditions.[[22]](#cite-id-33fnydcdus) She has also described the company’s $300 million Series E raise as an opportunistic “war chest” for a “rainy day,” intended in part to support asset expansion and international growth.[[23]](#cite-id-53wwel1e8x) She has remained in the President and COO roles at [Coinbase](https://iq.wiki/wiki/coinbase) through at least March 2026, as reflected in her post celebrating eight years at the company.[[3]](#cite-id-gw0fkxwm9af)[[4]](#cite-id-9jly979e30p)[[5]](#cite-id-75nz26pej7)[[6]](#cite-id-0nhahcsqoxmn)[[13]](#cite-id-pk32u5xtbd)[[10]](#cite-id-x6vXpQvE2Q)[[14]](#cite-id-6neit5dxjb) Public company disclosures in 2026 continue to list her as Chief Operating Officer of [Coinbase](https://iq.wiki/wiki/coinbase) Global, Inc.[[18]](#cite-id-phbb3i51bw)\n\n## Views on Cryptocurrency and Regulation\nChoi is a vocal advocate for the [cryptocurrency](https://iq.wiki/wiki/cryptocurrency) industry, frequently speaking on the need for clear regulation and the potential of [blockchain](https://iq.wiki/wiki/blockchain) technology.[[12]](#cite-id-gx1Fq48hIA)[[10]](#cite-id-x6vXpQvE2Q) In public discussions about [Coinbase](https://iq.wiki/wiki/coinbase)’s policy efforts, she has described the company’s work on a proposed regulatory framework that it could present to policymakers.[[24]](#cite-id-1k43guc1en)\n\n### U.S. Competitiveness and National Security\n\nAt the a16z American Dynamism Summit in March 2024, Choi expressed concern that the U.S. is losing its lead in [cryptocurrency](https://iq.wiki/wiki/cryptocurrency), comparing the situation to the nation's previous challenges with semiconductor chip manufacturing and 5G technology. She argued that allowing crypto development to move offshore is a \"travesty\" and a \"national security issue.\" Choi noted that while 80% of G20 countries were enacting or developing crypto legislation, the U.S. had not, resulting in 70% of crypto developers moving offshore. She emphasized that the instinct for new technologies like crypto and AI should not be to \"push it offshore, or push it back in the bottle.\"[[12]](#cite-id-gx1Fq48hIA)\n\n### The Need for Regulatory Clarity\nChoi has been a proponent of establishing clear \"rules of the road\" for the crypto industry in the U.S. She has criticized what she describes as \"overzealous regulators such as the SEC, who are overstepping their boundaries.\" She pointed to the Fit 21 bill as a sensible piece of legislation that would provide basic clarity by giving the SEC jurisdiction over digital securities and the CFTC jurisdiction over commodities for spot trading. Choi has stated that the industry is actively asking for regulation to protect customers and consumers.[[12]](#cite-id-gx1Fq48hIA)[[10]](#cite-id-x6vXpQvE2Q) In May 2026, she publicly welcomed the bipartisan passage of the \"Clarity\" bill through the Senate Banking Committee as a positive step toward clearer U.S. crypto regulation.[[19]](#cite-id-p2wcl9wnj1)\n\n### Upgrading the Financial System\n\nChoi advocates for crypto as a means to \"upgrade the financial system.\" She argues that the traditional financial system is slow, clunky, and does not serve most Americans well, particularly citing high fees. In contrast, she describes crypto as 24/7, global, and decentralized, removing intermediaries. She believes crypto is both a \"libertarian movement about individual freedom\" and \"progressive in nature\" due to its potential to serve underbanked and underserved populations, making it a highly inclusive financial technology.[[12]](#cite-id-gx1Fq48hIA)\n\n### Dispelling Myths About Illicit Use\n\nChoi has actively worked to counter the narrative that [cryptocurrency](https://iq.wiki/wiki/cryptocurrency)'s primary use is for illicit activities. She refers to this as a \"myth,\" citing studies that show less than 0.5% of crypto transactions are illicit, compared to an estimated 3-5% for cash transactions. She highlights the traceability of the [blockchain](https://iq.wiki/wiki/blockchain) as a deterrent for criminal activity, noting that the vast majority of funds from the Colonial Pipeline hack were recovered and that Hamas announced it would no longer accept [Bitcoin](https://iq.wiki/wiki/bitcoin) because it was too traceable.[[12]](#cite-id-gx1Fq48hIA)\n\n## Philanthropy and Investments\n\nChoi is an active investor in startups, focusing on the technology and [cryptocurrency](https://iq.wiki/wiki/cryptocurrency) sectors.[[10]](#cite-id-x6vXpQvE2Q)\n\n### Support for Startups\nThrough her role at [Coinbase](https://iq.wiki/wiki/coinbase), Choi helps oversee the investment activities of [Coinbase](https://iq.wiki/wiki/coinbase) Ventures, which has invested in over 150 startups. The venture arm focuses on early-stage companies using [blockchain](https://iq.wiki/wiki/blockchain) technology to innovate in various industries. Beyond her corporate role, Choi has made at least 11 personal investments in various startups, serving not only as a financial backer but also as a mentor to founders.[[10]](#cite-id-x6vXpQvE2Q)\n\n## Public Speaking and Media Presence\nEmilie Choi frequently speaks in the [cryptocurrency](https://iq.wiki/wiki/cryptocurrency) industry, participating in conferences, interviews, and podcasts to discuss fintech and digital assets. She has appeared at major events like the Bloomberg Technology Summit and the a16z American Dynamism Summit. In May 2026, she appeared in a fireside chat at the J.P. Morgan Global Technology, Media and Communications Conference alongside [Coinbase](https://iq.wiki/wiki/coinbase) CFO [Alesia Haas](https://iq.wiki/wiki/alesia-haas). In June 2022, she appeared on CNBC’s “Crypto [World](https://iq.wiki/wiki/world)” segment to discuss [Coinbase](https://iq.wiki/wiki/coinbase)’s workforce reduction and the state of crypto markets.[[22]](#cite-id-33fnydcdus) She has also spoken with Fortune in its “Catching Up with Coinbase President and COO Emilie Choi” segment about Coinbase’s internal culture and regulatory approach.[[24]](#cite-id-1k43guc1en) Her public commentary often focuses on corporate [strategy](https://iq.wiki/wiki/strategy), the need for regulatory clarity, and the path to mainstream crypto adoption.[[12]](#cite-id-gx1Fq48hIA)[[10]](#cite-id-x6vXpQvE2Q)[[15]](#cite-id-ke5t5jf3jx) In January 2026, she gave a detailed interview to FINTEX discussing [Coinbase](https://iq.wiki/wiki/coinbase)’s evolution into a broader financial infrastructure provider and its compliance-first strategy.[[17]](#cite-id-z2rb9bks04)\n\n[YOUTUBE@VID](AaeWSeg91jc)","summary":"Emilie Choi is the President and COO of Coinbase, a cryptocurrency exchange platform, with a career background in
