The number one goal for 2026, according to Armstrong, is to make Coinbase a global exchange covering all types of securities: cryptocurrencies, stocks, forecast markets, commodities – in the spot market, futures and options. In addition, the platform’s CEO expects to scale stablecoins and payments that go through the exchange. Another task for the year is to attract users to the blockchain through Base chains.
Coinbase is one of the world leaders in the crypto exchange market and one of the largest holders of Bitcoin (800,000 BTC as of mid-December). As of November 2025, the company’s revenue over the past 12 months amounted to $7.37 billion. Last year, Coinbase made the largest deal in the history of the crypto industry – it bought derivatives platform Deribit for $2.9 billion.
In early October, after a two-year hiatus, Coinbase resumed registering users from India. The cryptocurrency exchange partners with the Financial Intelligence Unit of India (FIU), which monitors compliance with regulatory requirements and anti-fraud rules. At the beginning of 2025, the exchange was registered with the FIU.
