In-Depth Analysis of Coinbase's Transformation into an 'Everything Exchange'

The article "Coinbase's Walled Garden" analyzes the company's strategic pivot from being a simple crypto on-ramp to an "Everything Exchange." Historically, Coinbase derived over 90% of its revenue from transaction fees, but as that business faced pressure from fee compression and volatile trading volumes, it has diversified. Now, less than 55% of revenue comes from trading. Coinbase's new strategy bets on aggregation over specialization, integrating stock trading, prediction markets, and perpetual contracts into its platform. The thesis is that once users complete KYC and link a bank account, they prefer the efficiency of a single platform rather than managing multiple specialized apps. This approach aims to capture more user engagement and revenue streams through various fees, spreads, interest, and subscriptions. A key engagement tool is prediction markets (like those from Kalshi), which provide social, event-driven reasons for users to stay active on the app even during stagnant crypto markets. The long-term differentiator could be Base, Coinbase's Layer 2 blockchain, which might enable true on-chain stock trading and programmable money. Ultimately, Coinbase is prioritizing scale over purity, targeting mainstream users who value convenience over decentralization. The goal is to create a "walled garden" held together by convenience—where the friction of leaving outweighs the benefits of using best-in-class specialists—similar to Amazon’s strategy of being "good enough" at many things to retain users across a closed loop of earn, trade, hedge, borrow, and pay activities.
