Coinbase adds Bauguess

Bauguess has spent years with the SEC and has a lot of experience when it comes to regulations, and he is currently the director for financial market regulation at the University of Texas' McCombs Business School. The new hire from Coinbase comes at a time when the entire crypto space is facing huge regulatory oversight with the passing of the Infrastructure Bill. 

As per the report from Politico, Coinbase has already been offered "strategic support" by Bauguess for the policy framework for cryptocurrencies that the firm released months ago. In his proposal, Bauguess stated the formation of "a new, single regulator to police the rapidly growing digital assets sector," said the report.

Bauguess aims to lead the firm in a new direction that suits the SEC's laws but will also remain the part of McCombs as an adjunct professor. As per the crypto exchange, Bauguess will "use his extensive expertise to help Coinbase to engage with policymakers and to further our mission to increase economic freedom in the world."

2000 hires

As per a report from Cryptonary, Coinbase has revealed that the crypto exchange will be hiring around 2,000 employees in 2022 to capitalize on opportunities in Web 3. The firm added that it aims to expand in 2022 and "include products that host user-generated content like NFTs, and we are excited about our ambitious plans for the future of Coinbase Wallet enhancing security, ease of use, and accessibility." It seems that 2022 might be a great year for the crypto exchange, which has also been actively partnering with a number of firms recently.

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.
