Coinbase hires former Goldman Sachs partner Liz Martin to help build “everything exchange”

The Block
Coinbase hired former Goldman Sachs partner Liz Martin to lead Markets and Derivatives as part of its 'Everything Exchange' strategy.

Summary

Coinbase has hired Liz Martin, a former partner at Goldman Sachs, as its new VP, Product, overseeing Markets and Derivatives. Her role is central to Coinbase's long-term strategy of transforming into an "everything exchange"—a single platform for trading, borrowing, staking, spending, and earning, which includes plans for tokenized stocks and prediction markets. At Goldman Sachs, Martin led initiatives across trading, technology, and consumer finance. She stated that derivatives are crucial for mature markets and sees a major opportunity for Coinbase in this global space as crypto markets scale institutionally. This hiring follows other moves supporting the 'everything exchange' vision, such as acqui-hiring founders of the crypto yield platform Sensible.
