What does Coinbase Global do?

COIN · Plain-English company overview

A stock is a share of ownership in a company. Owning one means you own a small piece of that business.

In the company's own words, from Item 1 (Business) of its latest annual report (Form 10-K) filed with the SEC on 2026-02-12.

We are working to update the century-old financial system by providing a trusted platform that makes it easy for our customers to engage with crypto assets. In December 2025, we took a major step forward to becoming the Everything Exchange—dramatically expanding the assets available to trade on Coinbase, including stocks, commodity futures, perpetual futures, and prediction markets. Our goal is to create a comprehensive, seamless experience for retail users, institutions, and developers to engage in the future of finance.

Our platform serves as a secure and compliant on-ramp to the onchain economy and enables our customers to use their crypto assets in both first and third-party product experiences. Our business consists of products that we monetize through transaction fees, such as our consumer trading product suite, as well as subscription products, such as our stablecoin products. We describe these products below. Throughout this Annual Report on Form 10-K, we will refer to our full suite of products and offerings as our platform or platforms.

How did Coinbase Global's latest earnings compare?
