Coinbase has strengthened its custody and cybersecurity capabilities with the acquisition of Unbound Security, a crypto custody infrastructure firm specializing in MPC technology.

Unbound uses a new type of security

Coinbase announced Tuesday that it has acquired Unbound Security, a Tel Aviv-based company that uses a new type of cryptography to store digital assets. The companies did not name a price for the acquisition. However, Unbound has raised $40 million since its inception in 2017, meaning Coinbase likely paid significantly more than that amount for the acquisition. Once the acquisition is complete, Coinbase will also have a presence in Israel, as the company will establish a "tech center of excellence" in the country.

It is known that Coinbase already invests heavily in the security of its custody operations, but with the recent acquisition, the company has a new technology in the form of secure multi-party computation (MPC), which is said to be both very secure and easy to use. "MPC will deliver by protecting our customers' assets with a technique that provides the virtually impenetrable nature of cold offline storage with the frictionless convenience of hot online wallets," Coinbase said in a blog post describing the acquisition.

Coinbase improves its cybersecurity and customer support

It looks like Coinbase is investing heavily in customer support and cybersecurity. The company has a good reason to do so, as Coinbase has announced that more than 6,000 of its customers have fallen victim to hackers attempting to steal their cryptocurrencies using SIM cards. With the launch of Coinbase One, a paid subscription service, customer support has also become an essential topic. To improve it, Coinbase recently acquired Agara, an AI-powered customer support platform. In addition, Coinbase has also acquired crypto wallet provider BRD, crypto data and analytics platform Skew, crypto data aggregator Zabo, and staking infrastructure company Bison Trails.

Coinbase is not the only crypto exchange that has focused on cybersecurity. In a similar move, Gemini also acquired a crypto custody infrastructure company specializing in MPC technology called Shard X earlier this year. It seems like there is a market opportunity as exchanges likely acquire these companies at a premium.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.

No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.

Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.

We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.

Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.

Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.

We stand behind the value of our research. If the documented upside from our published research during your 12-month membership does not exceed three times (3X) the annual subscription cost, you can request a full refund. Historical context: In every completed market cycle since 2017, cumulative documented upside has exceeded 10X this threshold.
