Coinbase Inc. will “fully and absolutely guarantee” the notes, according to the company, and “the interest rate, redemption provisions, and other parameters of each series of notes will be decided through discussions between Coinbase and the original purchasers.” The following are the specifics of the announcement:
Coinbase intends to use the net proceeds from the offering for general corporate purposes, which may include continued investments in product development, as well as potential investments in or acquisitions of other companies, products, or technologies that Coinbase may identify in the future.
