The biggest financial shift of our lifetime is starting, and Coinbase was built for this moment.
Every asset on earth (stocks, bonds, commodities, real estate, etc) is going to move onchain. The hundred-trillion-dollar financial system is being updated, faster than the incumbents can react.
A handful of companies will own the rails for this new system. Coinbase is uniquely positioned to capitalize on this generational transformation.
We just released our latest earnings where we talk about our progress here. It was a tough market in Q2. Despite this, we continued to execute on the things in our control and build through the noise. Some highlights:
- We store the most crypto in the world, and are the leading stablecoin platform
- 90%+ of agentic stablecoin transaction volume was on Base
- New ATH in our crypto trading volume market share (10.3%)
- Revenue has significantly diversified beyond trading
- Prediction markets revenue more than doubled, +106% QoQ
This is arguably the best place to track what’s happening in the midterm elections.
Information markets provide insight on what's likely to happen, from real people with skin in the game, not what someone wishes were true. It gets rid of the bias in traditional polls and media, so you can figure out what is actually true.
Tap the "Predict" tab in Coinbase to check it out.

Dave Regan wants to attack innovation, success & the American Dream in order to fund his healthcare fraud in CA. And then export his socialist agenda around the country. That has never been the American Way. We win when we grow the pie & include everybody in the upside! 🇺🇸🚀
The more you trade, the more you earn, on Coinbase Wallet.
If you haven't seen Coinbase Wallet recently, try it again, it's gotten lots better. Self-custodial wallets are important for getting everyone access to good financial services globally.
Excited to work with Mastercard to enable agentic commerce, with x402, @CoinbaseDev, and @base.
Agentic finance is going to transform the economy, as agents continue to get more work done on our behalf.
Mastercard is now helping agents pay for digital services.
Coinbase provides the agentic payments infrastructure to power each @Mastercard agent using @Cloudflare. Powered by x402 and the Coinbase facilitator.
If you’re building in agentic commerce, let’s talk.
Crypto has already removed a lot of the waiting we previously accepted as normal in finance:
- Stablecoins move across borders on weekends and holidays.
- Tokenized stocks trade 24/7 globally.
- Decentralized exchanges perform real time settlement.
- Onchain lending lets people borrow without waiting for a loan officer.
We're making money move at the speed of information.
Now your agent can trade perps for you on Coinbase
Send “Connect to coinbase.com/skill.md" to your favorite LLM to get started
The beauty of 24/7 markets is you can react to news at any time.
When Elon announces flying cars, traders shouldn’t be stuck on the sidelines waiting for the markets to reopen. Perps and tokenized stocks fix this.

Coinbase acted on my product feedback and removed a dark pattern of defaulting to a high-fee payout option
The power of Twitter!

Updated experience, live for all customers
If you don’t see it, just need to update to the latest version on the App Store
We’re working on making Coinbase the most AI-enabled financial account - so you can get more done with your money, and make more informed decisions.
Coinbase has incredible entrepreneurs sprinkled all throughout the company, owning key components. And we’ve gotten better at M&A over time, making it a real strength.
It’s a great place to be acquired, and to learn how to start a company, if that is your goal.
great getting this group of coinbase acquired founders together. M&A has been critical for Coinbase:
- Xapo helped seed the market leading Custody platform
- Tagomi led to the Coinbase Prime
- FairX and Deribit form the foundation of our global derivatives business
- Echo led to our cap formation efforts and brought us the #1 customer support rep on X
- Vector has built out DEX trading directly in Coinbase
- Clearing Co helped build predictions into our fastest growing revenue stream ever
and many more! joining @coinbase is only the beginning, and we’re always on the hunt for the best new founders/teams to join us.

You can control costs in many ways, but usage should be going up exponentially.
New: Accenture has told employees it will only fund $29 per month of Claude use. Meaning that employees who often spend as much as $1,000 a month are now scrambling to find ways to keep access to the tool. A sign of the continuing crack down of AI 404media.co/accenture-tells-…
I wonder how many good ideas we dismiss because they are not "practical".
There is value in pushing the frontier for its own sake. It's exciting and motivating to work on (and also great marketing).

Serving in this administration has been the privilege of a lifetime.
From helping to stand up the most successful presidential transition in history alongside @howardlutnick and @EDSecMcMahon, to rebuilding our defense industrial base as PTDO Deputy Under Secretary for R&E and then Acting Director of OSC at @DeptofWar, to driving forward President Trump’s vision to make the United States the “crypto capital of the world” as Executive Director of the @WhiteHouse Crypto Council, I consider myself to have been the luckiest guy in the world over these past two years.
First and foremost, I want to thank @POTUS for the opportunity to serve the American people again in your second term. Your clear-eyed vision to ensure the United States remains the undisputed global superpower at this time of unprecedented technological change and geopolitical strife is critical to our nation’s future prosperity.
Second, I want to thank @DavidSacks for your visionary leadership and mentorship. I am so grateful to have been able to work with you and learn from you over the past year. Thank you also to @USWREMichael, James Mazol, @HarryYJung, Nick Elliot, Tyler Williams, @lukejpettit, Jonathan Hurowitz, Andrew Rittenhouse, Michael Friedman, @atitus7, @passalacqua_mj, @willscharf, @JamesCBraid, @MayMailman, Steve Levine, Patrick Butler, Zach Carstens, and countless others across the administration for being the best colleagues anyone could ask for. It was an honor to serve alongside you.
Lastly, thank you to @SECPaulSAtkins and @ChairmanSelig, @SecScottBessent, @USComptroller Gould, @SenatorTimScott, @SenLummis, @SenatorHagerty, @berniemoreno, @JohnBoozman, @SenThomTillis, @RepFrenchHill, and @RepBryanSteil for your partnership in advancing crypto policy over the past year with the passage of the GENIUS Act and our work to advance the CLARITY Act. With regulators and elected officials like you, I rest easy knowing the future of digital asset innovation in America is bright.
Regarding next steps, I’ll have to more to share soon. For now, I’ll say this: I am extremely bullish on America as we embark upon a new golden age of technological advancement across multiple frontiers. I’m grateful to have done my part to unleash American innovation while in government, and I look forward to advancing that same mission in the private sector! 🇺🇸

okay one thing I can say with confidence is truly nobody thought the guy who owned the 140 character company would also be the guy that built the flying cars
