While this is a significant milestone, this business is accelerating with much more room to run.

Coinbase Global (NASDAQ: COIN) CEO Brian Armstrong: “We want to be the Amazon of Crypto Assets”
“…Q2 was a really strong quarter for us. We had amazing growth in terms of users added to the platform, assets on the platform, revenue, just about everything. And also, great diversification across our revenue lines and users. This is really good to see more and more people are using crypto and using the Crypto Economy, individuals, businesses, developers all over the world…. Two big trends we’re seeing: staking and decentralization. We now have 1.7 million users doing staking in crypto, which is a way to earn a yield on your assets. And this is up from probably zero a year ago. And I think if you go back to 2019, late 2019, we had less than a million MT users on our retail side for Coinbase in total. And now we have 1.7 million just doing one type of activity, staking. So, we’re seeing people do more and more things with crypto, whether that’s earning money with crypto, borrowing and lending, staking, using Coinbase card, and then, of course, trading. I think we’ll continue to see that percentage go up over time…That’s how a truly a crypto economy is forming, it’s not just a trading platform…”

“…We believe the future of this industry is going to be decentralized. There’s going to be more and more third-party apps that are being created where people want to connect their wallets to it and Coinbase is their primary financial account, so we need to make it easy for people to connect to and integrate with all of these third-party apps out there that are happening; NFT’s and DeFi, and there are hundreds of crypto startups now being built….We’re also focusing on international expansion, another form of decentralization, and just listing more and more assets. We want to be the Amazon of assets, list every asset out there in crypto that’s legal. There are thousands of them today. There are eventually going to be millions of them. This is the — all under the theme of embracing decentralization…”
