Question 1

What is Coinbase?

Accepted Answer

Coinbase (NASDAQ: COIN) is on a mission to increase economic freedom in the world. The most trusted crypto platform, Coinbase stores more digital assets than any other company and is building the everything exchange — one place to access crypto, equities, derivatives, prediction markets, and more. Coinbase serves consumers through its suite of financial apps, institutions through Coinbase Prime, and developers through the Coinbase Developer Platform. Coinbase's full-stack platform was purpose-built to power the future of finance: secure custody, deep exchange liquidity, stablecoin infrastructure, and global settlement rails — all built on a decade-plus foundation of security and compliance.

Question 2

What is Coinbase's market opportunity & why do we believe it’s expanding?

Accepted Answer

Coinbase’s market opportunity is every financial asset, every individual who uses those financial assets, every payment, and every market. We believe stocks, bonds, commodities, derivatives, prediction markets, and private assets will all move onchain. Our infrastructure is ready, and our opportunity is the size of global finance.

Question 3

Why is Coinbase's business becoming more diversified?

Accepted Answer

Customers want one, simple, unified place to manage their financial lives. Coinbase now generates substantial revenue across trading, stablecoins, subscriptions and services, derivatives, custody, developer infrastructure, payments, and Base.

Question 4

Why are stablecoins important to Coinbase?

Accepted Answer

Stablecoins are becoming the default way to move dollars on the internet, and that’s before billions of AI tools and agents join the system and default to crypto rails.

Question 5

What is Base?

Accepted Answer

Base is Coinbase's network to use, move, and store value around the world, 24/7/365.

Question 6

Why is Coinbase investing in AI?

Accepted Answer

AI agents need a financial system. They need wallets, payments, identity, and markets they can access without human intervention. Coinbase already provides that infrastructure through Base, Coinbase Payments, x402, and Coinbase Developer Platform.

Question 7

Why does Coinbase believe every asset will move onchain?

Accepted Answer

Onchain markets settle faster, cost less, operate around the clock, and remove rent-seeking middlemen. Tokenization extends those benefits to stocks, funds, private companies, real estate, and more. We believe every major asset class will come onchain.

Question 8

Why do institutions choose Coinbase?

Accepted Answer

Coinbase offers a one-of-one combination of trust, security, regulatory certainty, and scale.

Question 9

How does Coinbase make money when crypto markets slow down?

Accepted Answer

Our strategy expands with every new financial category we add. Stablecoins, derivatives, subscriptions, payments, custody, developer infrastructure, Base, and tokenization added new sources of revenue. As more economic activity moves onchain, Coinbase powers more parts of the global financial system, many of which are asset price-agnostic.

Question 10

What is Coinbase building toward?

Accepted Answer

A single financial account where any individual, entity, or AI tool can trade, spend, save, borrow, build, and move value across every asset class. We believe the future financial system will run on crypto rails, and we're building the infrastructure for it.
