Coinbase and Founders Factory Launch UK Crypto-AI Incubator—Because What’s More 2025 Than That?

Coinbase doubles down on regulatory chaos—sorry, ’innovation-friendly environments’—with new London startup accelerator.

Target: Crypto and AI founders hungry for Silicon Valley cash but allergic to California taxes.

The play: Early-stage funding meets exchange APIs, because nothing spices up machine learning like KYC compliance overhead.

Bonus jab: Watch traditional VCs suddenly remember they ’always believed in blockchain’ as dealflow dries up.

In parallel, Coinbase’s US division is also expanding its offerings, preparing to launch the Bitcoin Yield Fund on May 1. The fund, aimed at non-US institutional investors, targets an annual Bitcoin return between 4% and 8% by leveraging a cash-and-carry trading strategy to exploit market inefficiencies.

Meanwhile, Coinbase scored a legal victory as Alabama’s Securities Commission recently dropped its case against the platform, easing regulatory pressure as the company pushes ahead with its broader expansion efforts.
