Coinbase Global Inc. (Nasdaq: COIN) reported on May 7 that its first-quarter performance reflected stronger participation across spot trading, derivatives, stablecoins, and on-chain products. The crypto firm posted $202 billion in quarterly trading volume, $294 billion in assets held on platform, and a workforce of more than 4,900 employees.

Retail and institutional participation accelerated during the quarter. “Coinbase crypto trading volume market share increased to 8.6%, a new all-time high driven by product innovation and derivatives growth,” the crypto firm noted, adding that derivatives have become a larger part of its trading business, with trailing-12-month volume up 169% from the prior year. Retail derivatives also reached an annualized revenue run rate above $200 million, while prediction markets crossed $100 million in annualized revenue less than two months after launch. Coinbase stated:

“Coinbase saw a new all-time high crypto trading volume market share, driven by record-breaking consumer and institutional adoption of derivatives, with retail derivatives annualized revenue exceeding $200 million.”

Activity on Coinbase’s broader platform also increased outside traditional exchange trading. The crypto firm disclosed that it now safeguards 12% of global crypto assets, while decentralized exchange trading volume rose twofold from the previous quarter. That growth was tied to Coinbase adding native DEX access inside its app. Borrow and lend balances also expanded by $1 billion year over year.

Stablecoins remained a major focus in the quarter. Coinbase reported that average USDC held in its products reached about $19 billion, equal to more than one-quarter of circulating USDC. Base, the company’s layer-2 network, accounted for 62% of global on-chain stablecoin transaction volume, exceeding all other chains combined.

Coinbase also highlighted growth in payment tools. Its x402 protocol handled more than 100 million payments, and USDC was used in nearly all of them, at more than 99%. The crypto firm added that Base was responsible for more than 90% of on-chain agentic stablecoin transaction volume, positioning the network as a leading venue for that emerging use case.

Alesia Haas, Chief Financial Officer, said:

“We’re growing new revenue streams, with 12 product lines each generating over $100 million annualized, and prediction markets on their way to becoming the 13th.”

On the financial side, Coinbase posted $303.3 million in Adjusted EBITDA, while net loss came in at $394.1 million for Q1 2026. Management added that the company has now recorded positive Adjusted EBITDA for 13 consecutive quarters and native unit inflows for 12 straight quarters. Coinbase continues to frame its long-term strategy around widening access to crypto products, settlement infrastructure, and global digital payments.
