Coinbase is running to stay ahead of a wave of new competitors, since it revolves to be an exchange of pure cryptography to a broader financial services platform.
Key control:
- Coinbase is expanding beyond trade in custody, derivatives and stablecoins as the competition intensifies.
- Despite the strong income from ETF custody and new companies, Coinbase remains strongly exposed to Bitcoin’s price changes.
- Commercial rates are still the core of coinbase income, the increase and fall in cryptographic market volatility.
With Bitcoin reaching record records and American regulation creating a new impulse for institutional adoption, the company faces a growing pressure from traditional finances and emerging cryptographic players, according to a new Financial Times report.
The cryptographic announcement of the United Kingdom of Coinbase rejected in the midst of an impulse to expand the services
In July, Coinbase launched a high -budget TV advertisement in the United Kingdom that framed the cryptocurrency as a solution to a bankrupt financial system.
The announcement was rejected for not complying with the transmission standards due to the lack of risk warnings.
The campaign occurred when the exchange seeks to expand beyond trade, payments, asset and derivative management.
Founded in 2012, Coinbase entered the S&P 500 this year and now has a market capitalization of $ 83 billion.
His actions have increased 70% from Donald Trump’s elections, thanks in part to the cryptographic position of his administration.
However, the profits of the second quarter disappointed, and the action fell 15%, indicating the precaution of the investor.
A growing concern is the company’s exhibition at the price of Bitcoin. Commercial rates are still the core of coinbase income, the increase and fall in cryptographic market volatility.
The compression of rates and the competition of Asian exchanges are also eating on their margins.
Coinbase has assured its position as custodian for eight of the 11 best ETFs of the United States, winning $ 43 million in the last quarter of 2024 only that.
However, the new legislation could open the door to traditional custodians such as State Street and Bny Mellon to enter the market, threatening the domain of Coinbase.
The firm is also looking at the trade services of small businesses and banks, while leaning strongly in stables and bets.
The income of its USDC Stablcoin association with Circle Now is only marketed, while Staking offers high margin and defensibility returns.
In its bolder movement so far, Coinbase acquired the cryptographic derivatives platform for $ 2.9 billion, indicating its intention to dominate that space.
The company has also associated with banks such as JPMorgan and PNC to unite traditional cryptography and finance.
Despite its expansion, analysts say that Coinbase’s fortune remains closely tied to the price of Bitcoin.
Time names coinbase at 2025 ‘disruptor’ among the most influential companies
As reported, Time has recognized Coinbase as one of the 100 most influential companies in 2025, labeling cryptography as a “disruptor” for its important role in the configuration of US digital asset policies and markets.
Time pointed out that exchange as a key driver behind industry policy efforts and coinbase prediction could become the central center for cryptography trade in the United States.
Beyond the United States, Coinbase is expanding its scope in Europe, ensuring a license under the EU MICA regulatory framework through the Luxembourg financial regulator.
In particular, Coinbase also continued its corporate accumulation of Bitcoin.
In the first quarter, the company bought 2,509 BTC for approximately $ 222 million, raising its total holdings at 11,776 BTC and placing it among the 10 main public holders of the asset, just ahead of Tesla for currency courses.
