Crypto community figures suggested that Coinbase’s sponsorship of the U.S Army’s June 2025 parade was a calculated decision to strengthen its relationship with the U.S. government, even if it alienated segments of the crypto community.
Coinbase faced criticism for celebrating American patriotism at the parade despite outsourcing customer service overseas and being involved in a major data breach caused by its support staff in India.
Crypto community members argued that Coinbase’s sponsorship of the June 2025 U.S. Army parade contradicted the company’s publicly stated commitment to political neutrality, viewing the move as a clear political alignment.
