The company monetizes through transaction fees on trading products (including spot crypto, stocks, commodity futures, perpetual futures, and prediction markets offered via Simple and Advanced trading interfaces) and subscription services (stablecoins, staking rewards, custody, and financing). The platform differentiates on trust through one-to-one custody of customer assets and regulatory compliance, and on ease of use through intuitive product design. Coinbase operates four exchanges (Coinbase Exchange, Coinbase International Exchange, Coinbase Derivatives Exchange, and Deribit) serving institutional customers via Coinbase Prime prime brokerage, while Base, a Layer 2 Ethereum blockchain, generates sequencer fee revenue and supports an ecosystem of onchain applications. The company also offers the Base App (a self-custodial wallet), staking services across eight assets with approximately $7.5 billion in consumer assets and over $15.2 billion in institutional assets staked, institutional financing and lending products, and custody services. Revenue streams include volume-based transaction fees, subscription fees, staking commissions, interest on custodial funds, and sequencer fees, positioning Coinbase as a multi-asset, multi-service platform serving global retail, institutional, and developer customers.
【Expanding asset classes and efficiency】 Management expects continued growth in subscription and services revenue driven by higher average crypto prices and stablecoin adoption, with the Everything Exchange strategy expanding trading to equities, prediction markets, and derivatives to penetrate new customer segments. The company anticipates operational leverage through sequential expense reductions in technology and development and general and administrative costs, with 2026 adjusted expenses expected to decline significantly from 2025 levels. Coinbase plans to fully integrate Deribit and Echo acquisitions in 2026, unifying spot, perpetual futures, dated futures, and options on a single platform to enhance trading efficiency. Management is focused on growing total trading volume market share across new asset classes while leveraging the Base Layer 2 blockchain and developer platform to scale the onchain economy, with expectations that tokenized real-world assets and AI agents will drive increased transaction volume and platform engagement.
