Article Summaries:

  • Bloomberg Intelligence estimates that Coinbase’s stable‑coin revenue-currently 19 % of total revenue and largely tied to its USDC share with Circle-could rise two‑to‑sevenfold if USDC adoption in payments accelerates. The exchange posted a $667 million net loss in Q4 2025, yet its stable‑coin earnings hit $1.35 billion last year, up from $911 million in 2024, with $364 million generated in the fourth quarter alone. USDC dominated record stable‑coin transaction volume of $33 trillion in 2025, accounting for $18.3 trillion of that. Legislative pressure is mounting: the GENIUS Act and the Senate’s CLARITY Act seek to ban yield on payment stablecoins, potentially curbing Coinbase’s ability to offer rewards and affecting its revenue model.
