Renowned crypto investor Cobie has taken over key products at Coinbase, including the Base app, Coinbase app, and Advanced trading, with the aim of improving the company's relationship with crypto-native users. Cobie acknowledged that Coinbase had been somewhat "aloof" in the past, leading to a disconnect with its core user base. Despite the challenges, he is committed to launching products that resonate with users, even if it means facing criticism. Cobie noted that previous missteps by Base and Coinbase had eroded user goodwill, but he remains optimistic about the potential for improvement. His appointment follows the departure of Jesse Pollak as head of the Base app, signaling a strategic shift in Coinbase's approach to better engage with its community.
