Everybody: Coinbase Is Back Again, with a Karaoke Ode to Crypto in Sunday’s Big Game

Unconventional 60-second spot with encore extensions reaching coast to coast signify crypto’s mainstream adoption and accessibility to everyone

Key Takeaways:

• Coinbase created the world’s biggest karaoke singalong to show that crypto has moved past early-adopters — it’s mainstream, it’s accessible, and it’s for everybody
• For America’s most anticipated football game, Coinbase designed a shared, high-energy experience for its community to participate in together, much like crypto
• “Everybody Coinbase” debuted in the first half of Sunday’s Big Game with unique extensions in Times Square, the Sphere’s Exosphere and more

Remote-First-Company/SANTA CLARA, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Coinbase (NASDAQ: COIN) is making its second appearance in America’s most-watched sporting event, unveiling a new 60-second spot intentionally designed for people to watch together. “Everybody Coinbase” is a karaoke-style ad that invites viewers in every living room, sports bar and watch-party gathering place to unite their voices in a familiar, but slightly tweaked popular tune — “Everybody (Backstreet’s Back)” — that reinforces crypto’s mainstream appeal. Additional creative extensions are poised to give the campaign legs for well beyond the big game.

With its new ad, Coinbase once again invites viewers of the biggest game in football to engage with one another in a high-energy experience. Just four years ago, in the 2022 final, Coinbase made its national advertising debut with a colorful QR code that bounced around TV screens. The ad unified viewers in tracking the code’s path, generating more than 20 million landing-page hits in just one minute. This year’s ad once again draws viewers in to be part of a greater movement, leveraging the perennial appeal of karaoke in creating special shared moments and forging community connection.

“We didn’t buy an ad — we bought a vibe. Crypto is literally for everybody, and we’re excited to use this moment to bring people together for a shared experience that highlights how the crypto community has grown,” said Catherine Ferdon, Chief Marketing Officer of Coinbase. “52 million Americans have used crypto, and the demographics cut across generational and political divides. At Coinbase, we’re making crypto approachable, accessible, and secure for everybody. We will continue to fight — and now sing — for customers to be a part of the future of finance.”

Alongside its spot in Sunday’s championship game, the ad appears in several creative extensions around the country. Key activations include a takeover in New York’s Times Square as well as an activation on Sphere’s Exosphere, the world’s largest LED screen, in Las Vegas starting on Sunday, Feb. 8. Another encore screen takeover is planned at the Chase Center in San Francisco during the Golden State Warriors game on Monday, Feb. 9.

The campaign was created in partnership with creative agency Isle of Any, a continuation of its partnership with Coinbase, having collaborated on a series of animated ads for the brand in 2025 that aired during NBA playoffs.

“Super Bowl is often a time when advertising comes ‘at you.’ We wanted to do something big and generous that blurs the line between audience and the brand, playing with what a commercial can be,” said Toby Treyer-Evans, Co-Founder of Isle of Any. “We loved the idea of turning every screen in the country into karaoke, with 150M people inadvertently singing along to Coinbase and our message…hyped up, drinks in hand, belting out everything we wanted to say.”
