Growth over last quarter
• Revenue —> 207.6%
• Net income —> 312.9%
• Traded volume —> 272.0%— Larry Cermak (@lawmaster) April 6, 2021
More user base than Cash App from Square, Robinhood, Venmo and eToro.
1/ The 56M user # is bigger than @CashApp & @Venmo and significantly larger than @RobinhoodApp & @eToro. That’s greater than every bank not named $ JPM.

This is the best quarter in the company’s history, which is a strong argument in favor of an expected capitalization of more than $ 100 billion after the direct listing, scheduled for April 14. Many observers think so.
The platform contains assets worth $ 223 billion – this is 11.3% of the capitalization of the entire market, the company calculated. Of this amount, $ 122 billion falls on institutions, Coinbase emphasized.
If you think a $100+ billion valuation for Coinbase is too high…
Remember they own 11.3% of the entire crypto market cap 🤯
I’d bet that this mcap will be multiples higher than it is now and that value will be directly monetized by CB who will be literally printing $$

If we compare the site with the largest banks, then it would take 17th place in terms of assets in the United States.
Coinbase would now be the 17th largest bank in the United States, with $223 billion in assets.

Quarterly trading volume was $ 335 billion. Revenue fell to 0.56% of volume.
As expected, the ratio between volume and revenue has declined from 0.67% to 0.56%. This is simply because way more volume also means way more market makers and fees get skewed lower. But the ratio is still higher than I expected, which means more retail has come! pic.twitter.com/n5ODf2ShfY

On April 1, the SEC approved the company’s S-1 application. According to the document, the exchange will place 114,850,769 shares. In the first quarter through March 15, the weighted average price of the paper in the secondary market was $ 343.58 on the Nasdaq Private Market.
In March, the company resolved claims by the CFTC for falsifying trading activity data between January 2015 and September 2018. The fine was $ 6.5 million. At that time, observers called this the main reason for the transfer of the direct listing to April.
Ahead of the historic event, Coinbase has hired former senior SEC official Brett Redfern and former top executive at investment bank Morgan Stanley Ian Rooney.
