First of all I'd advise categorizing any company you've never worked for as your "dream company". Kinda the whole "never meet your heroes" thing. Idealism and "mission" has a a tendency to be crushed under the realities of corporate life and doing what it takes to make money, no matter how well a company is run (and Coinbase is a toss-up in that department). Aside from that I haven't looked at the company financials or anything, but I'd be surprised if they died in 6 months, they had plenty of runway last I heard. I also don't see how being an intern there would be a black mark on your resume unless you're some web3 zealot who can't stop talking about how Bitcoin is going to replace the dollar in interviews or something (granted that might be a positive trait if you're interviewing for jobs in web3 related companies). If you're there as an intern or junior employee and the company goes under, no one's going to be blaming you. I imagine you'll have plenty of job prospects and transferable skills from the experience in such a scenario. So best case scenario it's your dream job, worst case scenario you have a well-known and (from an outsider's perspective) technically competent company on your resume as a junior employee. But given the inherent volatility in the sector it would be naive to expect stability from the position. So if you do go ahead with the internship and get hired there, I'd keep your resume up to date and entertain the occasional interview.
