STIPULATION AND CONSENT AGREEMENT
The State of Florida, Office of Financial Regulation ("Office"), and COINBASE, INC. ("Respondent") in consideration of the mutual promises herein, recite, stipulate, and agree as follows:

1. Background. Coinbase, Inc. ("Coinbase") is licensed under Part II, Chapter 560,
   Florida Statutes, as a money transmitter, having been issued license number FT230000152. Alesia Haas is the President, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and Treasurer of Coinbase. The Office conducted an examination (No. 127165) to ascertain Respondent's compliance with Florida Statutes, and the corresponding rules. Based on the examination, grounds existed to initiate an administrative proceeding against Respondent, and on August 13, 2025, the Office issued an Administrative Complaint ("Complaint"). The Office subsequently amended the Complaint and issued an Amended Administrative Complaint on September 3, 2025. The Amended Administrative Complaint charges a violation of Rule 69V-560. 703(1 )-(2), Florida Administrative Code, and section 560.21 l(l)(a), Florida Statutes, in Count I; and a violation of
   section 560.126(2), Florida Statutes, in Count II.
   Respondent submitted a timely response to the Amended Administrative Complaint disputing the facts and the conclusions oflaw contained in the Amended Administrative Complaint and requesting a hearing pursuant to section 120.57(1), Florida Statutes.

In lieu of conducting an administrative hearing, the parties are herein resolving the matters at issue with this Stipulation and Consent Agreement ("Agreement").
2. Scope. Respondent consents to the entry of this Stipulation and Consent Agreement
without otherwise admitting or denying any of the allegations in the Amended Administrative Complaint. Further, Respondent only consents to the use of this Stipulation and Consent Agreement, or anything contained herein in connection with the above-captioned action; this however does not waive the Office's ability to use the findings in this Stipulation and Consent Agreement as an aggravator if there is a violation of the same Florida Statute in the future.
3. Jurisdiction. The Office is the state agency charged with the administration and
enforcement of chapter 560, Florida Statutes, and the corresponding rules. The Office has jurisdiction to bring this administrative action against Respondent pursuant to chapter 560, Florida Statutes.
4. Findings. For the purposes of this Stipulation and Consent Agreement, Respondent
neither admits nor denies, but consents to the Office's finding that Respondent failed to report changes to its banking information under which it conducted money services business; a change in its mailing address; and, failed to report that it had been the subject of a regulatory action, in violation of section 560 .126(2), Florida Statutes.
5. Terms and Conditions. The parties agree that the issues raised can be expeditiously
resolved without further litigation by the execution of this Stipulation and Consent Agreement.
