I’m planning to join Coinbase but I was wondering if you are allowed to trade crypto when you work there as an employee, can someone from the inside let us know? Are there any clearance requirements? Any limits, etc. Can you use coinbase platform itself or other exchanges. Thanks for your help 🙏🏻 #Crypto #investing #coinbase
Why wouldn’t they? I work at Intuit, they allow me to file my taxes 😁
Thats a perk! Aint it? Haha

change your question if employees can trade crypto on Coinbase platform, if they need pre-clearance and what’s the code of ethics
Good call. Updated it
Yes, you can buy and trade crypto. The caveats are your Crypto trading must be done on the CB platform (your transaction fees are waived/refunded) so your activity can monitored for compliance reasons. No volume restrictions as far as I recall. There is a restricted asset list, generally anything that is being readied for release or is newly released on the CB/Pro platform. It is regularly updated and items are removed after the initial "bump" that you see occur after CB announcing an asset will be offered. It's all in the trading policy that will be covered in your onboarding.
Also evaluating an offer from Coinbase. Am I allowed to purchase on Coinbase and then transfer to another wallet for storage, or to another exchange that gives interest on held crypto assets? If I have crypto stores places that aren’t Coinbase, do I have to move them back onto Coinbase?
Yes you are allowed. Lots of people use BlockFi & others. Only the trade has to happen on CB.
How do you trade shitcoins not listed on CB if you are CB employee? Are you not allowed to trade things on pancake swap?
You can trade outside of CB if CB doesn’t list them. Yes you can trade on pancake swap.
IIRC you can store in your own wallet, but trading needs to happen on platform. Not sure about bringing existing crypto assets to CB platform. Ask your recruiter!
You don’t have to bring existing assets into Coinbase, also you can trade coins not listed on coinbase on other exchanges
