Current Narrative

Coinbase is firing on all cylinders. Q4 2025 earnings crushed estimates with $2.8B revenue, driven by record trading volume and institutional inflows. The company's pivot beyond trading is paying off — Base L2 hit 10M daily users with transaction fees up 300% YoY, while custody assets from Bitcoin ETFs crossed $50B. Full MiCA approval opens Europe wide. Bulls see COIN as the only pure-play proxy for crypto adoption; bears warn of stretched valuations (45x forward earnings) and cycle peak risks. The narrative has shifted from survival to growth mode.
