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

The 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 client base shows a significant trend towards institutionalization:

• BlackRock uses Coinbase Prime as its primary 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 OP Stack underlying architecture 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 identity verification is handled regionally by several service providers such as Jumio and Onfido.

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