Coinbase Assets on Platform (AUM)

As of Q1 2025, Coinbase reported that the total value of assets on its platform reached $328 billion, marking a significant increase from the $114 billion reported in Q3 2023.

This growth reflects a resurgence in the cryptocurrency market, with rising prices of major assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum contributing to the increased valuation of assets held on the platform.

The $328 billion figure encompasses all customer crypto assets under custody, including those held by retail users, institutional clients, and assets associated with ETF products.

Coinbase’s Q1 2025 financial results, including this data, were published on May 8, 2025.

Coinbase Key Financials

When Coinbase went public in April 2021, it experienced a nearly sixfold increase in net revenue from 2020 to 2021, fueled by a surge in cryptocurrency prices and trading activity. However, following the peak of the crypto bull market, the industry faced significant challenges, including high-profile collapses such as FTX, Celsius, Voyager, and Terra Luna. These events, coupled with declining crypto prices, led to a substantial decrease in Coinbase’s net revenue.

As of Q1 2025, Coinbase reported total revenue of $2.03 billion, representing a 24% year-over-year increase but falling short of analyst expectations of $2.1 billion. Transaction revenue, a major component of Coinbase’s income, declined 19% from the previous quarter to $1.26 billion, reflecting reduced trading volumes and fee compression. Subscription and services revenue grew by 9% quarter-over-quarter to $698 million, driven primarily by stablecoin-related income.

The company’s net income for the quarter was $66 million, a significant decrease from $1.18 billion in the same quarter the previous year. Adjusted net income stood at $527 million, or $1.94 per share, down from $679 million, or $2.53 per share, a year earlier.

Coinbase continues to emphasize the volatility of its revenue streams, stating in its Q1 2025 shareholder letter:

“Our total revenue is substantially dependent on the prices of crypto assets and the volume of transactions conducted on our platform. If such price or volume declines, our business, operating results, and financial condition would be adversely affected.”

This underscores the company’s ongoing exposure to market fluctuations and the importance of diversifying its revenue sources.

Net revenue is made up of revenue earned from customer transactions and subscriptions and services revenue, including blockchain rewards, custodial fees, interest income, etc.

Below is a breakdown of the yearly net revenue figures over the past number of years.

Yearly Revenues

Below you will see the quarterly revenue figures for Coinbase. Quarterly revenue bottomed out in Q3 of 2022 and has since increased modestly along with the wider crypto market.

Quarterly Revenues

Until recently, Coinbase regularly reported the average revenue it generated per user per month, reaching a peak of $81.67 in Q1 2025. 

See below a summary of the average revenue per user (per month) from 2017 to Q1 2025.

Revenue Per User (Per Month)

In Q1 2025, Coinbase reported a net income of $66 million, a significant decrease from the $1.18 billion reported in the same quarter the previous year. This decline was primarily due to a $597 million pre-tax loss on its crypto asset investment portfolio, most of which were unrealized losses. Despite this, the company’s adjusted net income stood at $527 million, with an adjusted EBITDA of $930 million, indicating strong underlying operational performance.

Coinbase User Statistics

For investing purposes, one of the most vital metrics to keep an eye on is the growth in the user base at Coinbase. It is also important to know the difference between a verified user and an MTU (Monthly Transacting User).

A verified user is a retail or institutional investor who has successfully set up a Coinbase account. However, this does not mean that Coinbase is generating revenue from this type of customer. The more reliable metric to keep a close eye on is the MTUs (Monthly Transacting Users).

In the following tables, you will find data from Coinbase on its Verified users and MTUs over the past number of years.

Monthly Transacting Users (MTUs)

Interestingly, since its peak, the monthly transacting users at Coinbase have only fallen 27% to 8.0 million. Compared to net revenue, which fell 34% from its quarterly peak in Q4 2021 vs the latest Q1 2025 earnings. This shows the potential for the net revenue to rebound quickly at Coinbase if the crypto market goes back into a bullish period.

Quarterly Trading Volume split by Retail vs Institutional Investor

Institutional investors have become critical to the success of Coinbase over the past number of years, now accounting for 83% of the trading volume. You can check out the split between retail and institutional trading volume from Q1 2020 to Q1 2025 in the following table.

Quarterly Trading Volume split by cryptocurrency

The change in investing trends in cryptocurrency can be seen clearly when you look at the split of Coinbase’s quarterly trading volume.

As of Q1 2025, Bitcoin accounts for 36% of Coinbase’s trading volume, while Ethereum and other Altcoins represent 20% and 44%, respectively. Bitcoin’s share has grown steadily since mid-2023, reflecting renewed investor confidence and rising institutional interest.

Conclusion

In summary, Coinbase has continued to position itself as a regulated and transparent platform, standing apart from the more opaque operations seen across much of the crypto industry.

Although the company saw strong early momentum, the fallout from industry-wide scandals and failures has slowed its revenue and user base expansion in recent quarters.

If digital assets are to gain broader trust, Coinbase is likely to remain a central player in shaping that evolution.
