The company is also considering charging fees for some payment services in Coinbase Wallet, such as subscriptions for certain capabilities, Aggarwal said. </p><p class="mb-4 md:mb-6 leading-8 -tracking-5%" data-story-element="paragraph" data-testid="paragraph-component">Coinbase has made a big push into payments in the past year or so, believing it can offer more capabilities than rivals such as Block’s Cash App and Strike, as well as old-fashioned money-transfer services, by relying on cheap and nearly instant global payments using stablecoins. Today, when most people send money from the US to Africa and many other destinations, traditional bank transfers still take days and can cost as much as 15 per cent of the payment amount, Aggarwal said. Payments using stablecoins, which are cryptocurrencies designed to track the US dollar or other traditional assets, can cost less than a cent and happen in under a second. </p><div class="my-8 md:my-12 w-screen bg-gray-125 transition-all duration-300 border-gray-175 min-h-0 border-y-0 bg-none py-0" style="max-width:0px;margin-left:calc(-1*(0px - 100%) / 2 );height:0"><div data-component="component-container" class="container px-3 sticky top-[120px]"><div class="relative mx-auto w-full md:w-10/12 md:px-8 lg:w-8/12"><div class="text-center text-center" data-testid="advertisement-element"><div id="dfp-ad-imu1" class="adunit-component"></div></div></div></div></div><p class="mb-4 md:mb-6 leading-8 -tracking-5%" data-story-element="paragraph" data-testid="paragraph-component">“I don’t think there’s a good consumer experience among legacy payment companies that operates on a global stage,” Aggarwal said. “We are going to be doubling down to create best-in-class user experiences that completely abstract all complexities associated with crypto. What we are really trying to do is update the financial system.” </p><p class="mb-4 md:mb-6 leading-8 -tracking-5%" data-story-element="paragraph" data-testid="paragraph-component">To get there, Coinbase in August of 2023 launched its Base blockchain, which can be used for such cheap and fast payments. It’s also worked with major companies such as PayPal Holdings on trials of paying invoices through its Coinbase Prime offering. </p><p class="mb-4 md:mb-6 leading-8 -tracking-5%" data-story-element="paragraph" data-testid="paragraph-component">For consumers, Coinbase has been working on an everything app, which lets users trade and hold crypto, as well as make payments. Payments are a huge part of the Coinbase Wallet app push. If successful, business and consumer payments could potentially add up to 10 per cent of Coinbase’s revenue within five years, according to Owen Lau, an analyst at Oppenheimer & Co Coinbase sees it as a potentially even bigger opportunity. </p><div class="py-10 md:-mx-8"><div class="mb-6 border border-gray-175 p-6 md:p-8"><div class="" data-component="generic-newsletter"><h5 class="mb-6 border-b border-gray-850 pb-2 !font-poppins text-base font-semibold uppercase leading-normal tracking-5% text-gray-850 md:text-lg">BT in your inbox</h5><div class="flex py-3 md:px-10 md:py-6"><img alt="Newsletter Img" class="hidden h-auto max-w-full self-start min-[321px]:block" width="75" height="75" src="/assets-web2/generic_newsletter-CGny2zps.png"/><div class="min-[321px]:pl-4 md:pl-6"><p role="description" class="mb-3 font-public-sans text-base font-light tracking-normal text-gray-850 md:text-lg">Start and end each day with the latest news stories and analyses delivered straight to your inbox.</p><div class="relative hidden w-full md:block md:w-4/5 lg:w-7/10 xl:w-6/10"><div class="relative"><button data-size="md" type="button" class="!outline-none focus-within:outline-none focus:outline-none outline-0 focus-within:outline-0 focus:outline-0 flex cursor-pointer items-center justify-center whitespace-nowrap rounded-full border border-solid border-gray-175 text-center !font-poppins text-gray-850 transition-all duration-150 hover:border-gray-850 data-[size=lg]:h-[68px] data-[size=md]:h-[42px] data-[size=sm]:h-[36px] font-semibold text-xs tracking-[0.02em] w-full min-w-[155px] bg-transparent px-0 py-0 hover:bg-transparent md:max-w-[155px]" data-rac="" id="react-aria-:R5l5moodcscu5:">Sign Up</button></div></div></div></div><div class="relative block w-full md:hidden "><div class="relative"><button data-size="md" type="button" class="!outline-none focus-within:outline-none focus:outline-none outline-0 focus-within:outline-0 focus:outline-0 flex cursor-pointer items-center justify-center whitespace-nowrap rounded-full border border-solid border-gray-175 text-center !font-poppins text-gray-850 transition-all duration-150 hover:border-gray-850 data-[size=lg]:h-[68px] data-[size=md]:h-[42px] data-[size=sm]:h-[36px] font-semibold text-xs tracking-[0.02em] w-full min-w-[155px] bg-transparent px-0 py-0 hover:bg-transparent md:max-w-[155px]" data-rac="" id="react-aria-:Rblmoodcscu5:">Sign Up</button></div></div></div></div></div><div class="w-screen bg-gray-125 transition-all duration-300 border-gray-175 min-h-0 border-y-0 bg-none py-0" style="max-width:0px;margin-left:calc(-1*(0px - 100%) / 2 );height:0"><div data-component="component-container" class="container px-3 sticky top-[120px]"><div class="relative mx-auto w-full md:w-10/12 md:px-8 lg:w-8/12"><div class="text-center text-center" data-testid="advertisement-element"><div id="dfp-ad-midarticlespecial" class="adunit-component my-8 md:my-12"></div></div></div></div></div><p class="mb-4 md:mb-6 leading-8 -tracking-5%" data-story-element="paragraph" data-testid="paragraph-component">“Payments is having a bit of a moment in crypto,” Coinbase chief executive officer Brian Armstrong said during the company’s last earnings call. “We really want to get that to be 20 per cent of global GDP running on crypto rails.

from transactions on Base. Base and payment-related consumer revenue are folded into “other transaction revenue”, which added up to US$34 million in the third quarter, according to the company’s shareholder letter. It also shares revenues with USDC issuer Circle Internet Financial on that company’s stablecoin known as USDC, booking US$246.9 million in stablecoin revenue in the third quarter, according to its shareholder letter. </p><p class="mb-4 md:mb-6 leading-8 -tracking-5%" data-story-element="paragraph" data-testid="paragraph-component">Payments are part of an effort by Coinbase to diversify its business away from its heavy reliance on crypto trading fees and towards other services, particularly those with recurring, subscription-like profiles. Coinbase is one of the biggest beneficiaries of the current market boom, with Bitcoin hitting its new all-time high of more than US$98,300 on Thursday (Nov 21). The company’s revenues are expected to nearly double in 2024, year over year, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
