The publicly-listed crypto-asset exchange Coinbase has announced the company has acquired the Israeli firm Unbound Security.

Coinbase Acquires Israeli Company Unbound Security<\/h2>\n

Ever since Coinbase<\/a> (Nasdaq: COIN<\/a>) was publicly listed, the company has acquired a number of smaller companies. Prior to the listing on Nasdaq, the company acquired the firm Bison Trails and on April 30, the crypto-focused data analytics company Skew revealed it was purchased by Coinbase. The publicly-listed crypto asset exchange further purchased Zabo in August and during the first week of November, Coinbase acquired the company Agara. During the last week, Coinbase has revealed two more acquisitions.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday, Coinbase announced<\/a> the acquisition of Unbound Security, a firm that works with multi-party computation technology. Coinbase asserts that Unbound\u2019s multi-party computation technology \u201cwill play a foundational role in Coinbase\u2019s product and security roadmap.\u201d The move will also increase Coinbase\u2019s presence in Israel, the crypto exchange highlights. Coinbase says that it believes Israel is \u201ca hotbed of strong technology and cryptography talent.\u201d<\/p>\n

Furthermore, Coinbase plans to \u201cestablish a tech center of excellence in Israel that will ensure that Coinbase is always at the bleeding edge of security and blockchain technology.\u201d The company stresses that it will gain insights from some of the most prominent cryptographic experts.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith this acquisition, Coinbase not only gains access to some of the world\u2019s most sophisticated cryptographic security experts, including Unbound Security co-founder and current vice president of Research and Development, Guy Peer, who brings more than 20 years of experience in cryptographic security, but also a presence in Israel, a well-established and rapidly growing technology hub,\u201d Coinbase added.<\/p>\n

Coinbase Acquired BRD Wallet Last Week for an Undisclosed Sum<\/h2>\n

Six days before the Unbound Security acquisition announcement, it was revealed that Coinbase acquired the open-source BRD wallet. Adam Traidman BRD\u2019s co-founder and CEO explained that BRD grew to a community of 10 million customers since its inception in 2014. \u201cWe would like to share the news that members of our team will be continuing our mission at Coinbase, where we will work together to bring the power of decentralization to even more users around the globe,\u201d Traidman wrote to BRD users on November 24.<\/p>\n

Traidman further added that \u201cnothing will change in the BRD wallet app\u201d but in the future, BRD wallet users \u201cwill have an optional migration path to self custody with Coinbase Wallet.\u201d Moreover, the BRD users that migrate will get a \u201cspecial gift\u201d and Traidman added that BRD users should stay tuned in 2022. The native token tied to the BRD community, bread (BRD), saw the coin\u2019s value swell by more than 500% this past week and is still up 460% at the time of writing.<\/p>\n
