Last updated: July 24, 2026
1. Acceptance of terms
By accessing or participating in the Coinbase 2026 Cryptocurrency Market Intelligence Program, you agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions. If you do not agree with any part of these terms, please do not participate.
2. Eligibility
The promotion is open to individuals aged 18 years or older who are legal residents of the United States. Coinbase reserves the right to disqualify responses or claims that appear fraudulent, incomplete, duplicate, or in violation of these terms. Employees of Coinbase and their immediate family members are not eligible.
3. $500 BTC reward terms
Qualified participants who complete all survey questions and pass phone identity verification may receive $500 worth of Bitcoin. The BTC amount is calculated based on the market exchange rate at the time of redemption. Rewards are non-transferable and may not be exchanged for cash or other value.
4. 50,000 participant limit
This promotion is strictly limited to the first 50,000 qualified respondents. Once the limit is reached, no further rewards will be issued, even if the survey remains open for research purposes.
5. Account-holder verification
Coinbase may, at its discretion, contact you by email, phone, or text to verify that you are the account holder associated with the submitted information. This contact helps prevent fraud, duplicate claims, and reward abuse. Most participants receive redemption instructions by email without any additional contact.
6. Redemption within 7 business days
Eligible participants will receive a redemption email from Coinbase within 7 business days of survey completion. If no redemption email is received, Coinbase Customer Support will attempt to contact you by email, phone, or text with follow-up instructions.
7. Tax obligations
The $500 BTC reward may be considered taxable income. Coinbase may issue tax documents, including Form 1099, in accordance with IRS requirements. Participants are responsible for reporting and paying any applicable taxes.
8. One reward per person/household
Only one reward is permitted per person, email address, phone number, and household. Multiple submissions from the same individual or household will be disqualified.
9. Previous recipients ineligible within 12 months
Individuals who have received a Coinbase research reward in the 12 months prior to submission are not eligible for this promotion.
10. Open to existing and non-existing Coinbase users
Both current Coinbase customers and individuals who have never used Coinbase are eligible to participate, subject to the other eligibility requirements in these terms.
11. Survey participation
Participation is voluntary. You may exit the survey at any time. Submitting the survey constitutes your consent for Coinbase to collect and use your responses in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
12. Use of responses
Coinbase may use survey responses for internal research, product development, competitive analysis, and marketing insights. Individual responses will not be publicly disclosed. Aggregate, anonymized data may be shared in reports or presentations.
13. Prohibited conduct
You agree not to submit false information, attempt to manipulate results, use automated tools, create multiple accounts, or engage in any activity that disrupts the survey, promotion, or its data integrity.
14. Limitation of liability
Coinbase provides this promotion on an as-is basis. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Coinbase is not liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your participation.
15. Changes to terms
Coinbase may update these terms at any time. Continued participation after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.
