Coinbase

Coinbase is the largest publicly traded crypto exchange in the US and the company most exposed to whatever the SEC, Treasury, and Congress decide next. The coverage here tracks the full operating picture: quarterly earnings and the trading volume swings that drive them, regulatory battles with the SEC and the lawsuits that set precedent for the entire industry, product launches from Base to the AI agent app store to staking services, Brian Armstrong’s public positions on regulation, custody, and policy issues that move the political debate, institutional client wins as traditional finance increasingly routes through Coinbase Prime, and the compliance and listing decisions that determine which tokens reach US retail. The company sits at an unusual intersection. It lobbies hard for clearer rules while fighting cases that could redefine what counts as a security. It builds new products like prediction markets while regulators decide whether those products are even legal. Coinliva covers the earnings, the lawsuits, the listings, the policy moves, and the broader strategic question of whether Coinbase becomes the regulated US gateway for crypto or gets squeezed by competitors operating with less compliance overhead.
