Coinbase has surpassed the Nasdaq and the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong in transaction revenue, generating $5.75 billion over the past 12 months. However, these figures are not directly comparable due to varying fees per transaction. While its revenue growth is high, it falls short of the London Stock Exchange and the Intercontinental Exchange.
The CEO of MANSA Finance predicts that Coinbase may reach the number three spot in total transaction revenue by 2025 and could eventually become the largest global exchange. He believes that Coinbase's potential growth in international markets, particularly in Latin America, Africa, and Europe, could drive significant revenue and volume expansion.
Coinbase's transaction revenue growth is high but still falls far short of the world’s largest exchanges. The London Stock Exchange generated $10.82 billion in transaction revenue during the past 12 months, while the Intercontinental Exchange remains far ahead with $9.16 billion in transaction revenue. Even though Coinbase exceeds many of the world’s largest exchanges in transaction revenue, its transaction volume lags behind the NASDAQ. However, due to charging higher fees, Coinbase's transaction revenue surpasses that of the NASDAQ.
The CEO of MANSA Finance notes that while Coinbase may continue overtaking traditional exchanges in revenue and potentially reach the number three spot in total transaction revenue by 2025, it may take 10 to 20 years before it surpasses the NASDAQ in overall trading volume. He believes that Coinbase's potential for growth in Latin America, Africa, Europe, and other areas outside its traditional core market in the U.S. could drive the next billions of dollars in revenue and volume.
In Q3 2024, Coinbase's sales fell to $1.2 billion from the previous quarter, reporting a $75 million profit. It had roughly $8 billion trading volume over the past 24 hours compared to almost $445 billion for the Nasdaq. The CEO of MANSA Finance believes that Coinbase's potential for growth internationally, coupled with its strong U.S. presence, could lead to significant revenue and volume expansion in the future.
