Coinbase IPO: To Buy or Not to Buy?

Information via the Protocol

Coinbase had a stellar 2020. It recorded $1.1 billion in revenue for the year, up 136% from $483 million in revenue in 2019. This increase in revenue tracks closely with the 142% increase in trading volume between 2019 and 2020.

Coinbase derives almost all of its net revenue (96% in 2020) from transaction fees, which have been correlated with fluctuations in the value of cryptocurrencies. The rise in institutional trading volume has been a major source in revenue growth for Coinbase over the course of 2020. For instance, in Q1 2020, institutional trading volume rose to 6x the volume of Q1 2019. And even over the course of the year, institutional trading volume went from $18 billion in Q1 2020 to $57 billion in Q4 2020. Retail trading volume went from $12 billion to $32 billion in that same time frame.
