- The institutional share of trading underscores Coinbase’s positioning as a regulated gateway for large‑scale digital asset participants.
Supported Cryptocurrency Assets
- As of 2025, Coinbase supports over 270 cryptocurrencies on its platform.
- On the institutional/custody side (Coinbase Prime), clients can custody over 420 assets across 52 chains.

- Listing‑strategy trends, in 2024, Coinbase added 91 new assets to its institutional offering, expanding its derivatives/trading depth.
- The wide array of assets supports Coinbase’s goal of becoming an “everything exchange” (retail + institutional + DEX) rather than a single‑product platform.
- For users, this means access to emerging tokens, new networks, and niche markets, though with the usual risks of lower‑liquidity assets.
- From a business‑model perspective, listing a large number of assets helps attract a diverse user base and cross‑sell subscriptions and custody services beyond core Bitcoin/Ethereum-only customers.
Subscription and Services Revenue
- In Q2 2025, Coinbase reported $656 million in subscription and services revenue.
- In Q1 2025, subscription and services revenue was $698 million, representing a 9% increase quarter‑on‑quarter.

- Stablecoin‑related income (notably from USDC) drove a substantive part of this services growth, e.g., USDC balances on Coinbase averaged $13.8 billion in Q2 and grew ~13% Q/Q.
- The services segment now plays a key role in diversifying Coinbase’s income beyond transaction fees, which are more volatile.
- In Q2 2025, transaction (trading) revenue was $764 million, illustrating that subscription/services (~$656 m) are approaching parity with trading revenues.
- Coinbase forecasts subscription and services revenue for Q3 to lie between $665 million and $745 million.
- For investors and analysts, the uptick in subscription and services revenue signals a shift toward a platform offering rather than pure trading‑fee dependency.

- Employee growth is also a proxy for investment in compliance, platform reliability and international expansion, areas critical in 2025.
- Workforce expansion can increase costs (capex / opex) in the short term, so the impact on profitability will depend on revenue growth from new services.

Conclusion
Coinbase continues to transform from a pure trading platform into a diversified digital‑asset services business.
