The domain sold for $1500 USD on Sedo.
Now here is the interesting part.
Someone at Coinbase's legal team sent me legal demands to simply hand over the domain for free, citing a U.S copyright registration.
I ignored this because:
1. I don't live in the US. The United States has no legal means to enforce it's stupid laws on me.
2. A copyright/trademark registration is just that. It allows you to carry on business using this wordmark or trademark in the United States only AND only for what you specify during your registration. This being:
Providing temporary use of online non-downloadable software for use in electronically trading, storing, sending, receiving, accepting and transmitting digital currency, and managing digital currency payment and exchange transactions

They don't have the ability to seize a domain from you without a court order and they can't get a court order without proof you breached or infringed on whatever they specified above.
Moral of the story ... FUCK COINBASE.
