Coinbase CEO and Co-Founder Brian Armstrong says the company "is undergoing a shift to being a remote-first company, which will unlock potential but also require the company to learn and iterate within a remote-first culture."

"Aside from his exceptional engineering experience, Manish impressed us with his positive energy, clear communication, great questions, and passion for the mission and opportunity we have as a company," Coinbase CEO added.

Coinbase is planning for a stock market listing that could come as early as this year. Hence, Coinbase may be the first US-based cryptocurrency exchange to go public.
