Yes, competition means you are having a good business but too much is just not good anymore.

It all comes down to supply and demand, which is the basic law of any business. Exchanges don't pop up because they want to do the community a favor, but because they know there is a market to serve. Markets consist of people, and these people vote with their money and coins and basically beg for more variety in the exchange space.

I personally couldn't care less about the profits Coinbase has booked when that money is being pumped into shitty token promotions and not in the one and only coin that allowed them to grow out to the worldwide crypto phenomenon that they are today. They don't even pump any money in providing their customers a swift support experience. Absolutely pathetic.

In other news, Binance just crossed $1 billion in cumulative profit. They just joined the picture in 2017 and according to reports they have accumulated $1 billion already. So that was very quick, so imagine how much those exchanges are going to make if we had another bitcoin bull run in the next coming years.

well well, that really handsomely profit .
since their ICO came around July 2017,on 2019,binance have accumulated $1 billion profit, btw , did that include from BNB token ?
however, if we look at the facts, according to the data in CMC, it is clear that 2017 - 2019 is the peak of activity.
and the best thing about it is that, People really likes binance.

And this is also the reason why there are too many ICO now which projects are making another exchange.
They wont be stopped.

7 years for 2 billion dollars? I dont think so. He might just be estimating it at a bad number or someone is robbing him from the inside. Grin

Share holders will sure be delighted. But are we traders getting f*cked?

This makes me wonder how much profit some of the other exchanges make, like yobit and binance. I doubt it's anywhere near what coinbase makes, but its got to be significant. It's too bad other exchanges are so non transparent and don't release data like this.

One way of trying to figure out what profits an exchange generates, is to calculate what their fee income is over the volume of all their trading pairs. It might not be accurate, but will give you an indication of their profits nonetheless.

Another income stream is the interest they generate on the fiat they hold on behalf of their traders. It's impossible to figure out exactly how much they hold in fiat, but I'm sure it's in the hundreds of millions at the very least.

Overall, Coinbase's $2 billion total profit is something the shareholders will be delighted with, especially with how most of the shareholders bought themselves into Coinbase when they weren't as big and dominant as they are today.

Honestly I thought its more than that, I don't know if they are under declaring but most businesses I know are manipulating their record to understate their tax liability. But anyway, that's still a good profit, which means that having a business in crypto has a great potential to make investors rich, coinbased proved it right, and I think that Binance is also making even more than their profit.

Me too. I thought they should have made at least double that amount since they have been in the game for so long.

You can't compare the two, even though that Coinbase has a head start, that time crypto trading are very slow and obviously only few people have been trading since Coinbase was coming off from the Mt. Gox hacked.

While Binance enter when we are about to make a bull run in 2017. If I remember it correctly, they even suspended accepting members because the volume was too much. And perhaps that was the time wherein they racked lots of money too.

7 years and 2 billion dollars. No wonder Coinbase can afford to open new branches and expand to Europe. They should realize though that it is only because they monopolized US market that they made so much.

Now I wonder, what kind of profit Binance makes.

Do people realize we are giving exchanges so much money? Big case for P2P.

How much more if we do talk about Binance profits yet it do caters out globally or without having some strict restrictions.

Its much more a new market but in terms of volume or liquidity then it can easily surpass out Coinbase.7 years and 2 billion dollars on
net isn't really that surprising with this exchange.

Giving way too much with CEX? People are aware on that but majority do think that they are much more reliable and come to think
these are the only place where you can transact FIAT->Crypto / Crypto->Fiat.

Why are you surprised? We have too many Sh*t stable coins, but a few good ones are necessary.

Quote from: Oilacris on October 24, 2019, 05:15:52 PM

For about 7 years then theres no doubt with those net profit numbers knowing that Coinbase is one of known exchangers as of todays and still operational.

On the side note you've talked about Stable coin on the link you've given and I'm surprised that its being obviously praised up. Cool

Well considering that some companies make $2 bln per *quarter*, the numbers coinbase put up since 2012 don't seem all that remarkable. However, we're talking about a bitcoin exchange here so that's at least encouraging.

I think with their dedication, their profit is worth they get. Because to be exchanges or maybe wallet that really have reputation need long time and then a lot of good reviews which only can be proven by time. For now some exchanges not survived at least for 3 years.

7 years remain committed to developing their business, they deserve it.
Coinbase is an old exchange which gives many contributions to cryptocurrency, there are pros and cons but at least they are not like other old exchanges who deceive their users by became a scam.

I think this has become a very reasonable thing if you have a cryptocurrency business that launches a platform for exchange or a cryptocurrency wallet that can be used by many people and is easy to use then it is certain you can get as much profit as coinbase.

Coinbase CEO, Brian Armstrong revealed today that the cryptocurrency exchange platforms popular with beginners netted $2 billions in profit since it was launched in 2012. He also expressed concerns with U.S. government trying to kill Facebook Stablecoin project.

Big congratulations to them. $2B in profits is a good sign of progress. Considering Coinbase is only available to few countries, I wonder what would Coinbase's profit be once they open worldwide. Binance recently posted some good profits about $180Mn+ in Q3 2019 alone. This goes to show how much these exchanges are earning in those withdrawal fees, transaction fees and those 0.25% trading fees. It only gets bigger as new users come aboard the crypto space.

Coinbase is an old exchange, many people who know coinbase and of course have a lot of members, but most people seem to prefer to use coinbase as a wallet rather than as an exchange, I myself have long joined the coinbase but never traded there, if most people are active in coinbase exchange, there may be more coinbase income.

Now I realize that new exchanges are types of businesses that are very profitable. Because the transaction demand is very high in the crypto market and especially the margin trading, fees are very high for high profits.
If Coinbase continues to expand margin trading for their trading systems, I think the profits could be doubled or tripled if the government doesn't control it too strictly. What do you think ?

If every new exchange really can make and earn easy money. There won't be any exchange closing down. We already knew there are some exchange which closing down due to low volume, so they can't keep with their site expense. As example, Liqui.io & coinexchange.

I am happy with the growth of coinbase, even though I haven't used coinbase for a long time, because I'm supporting local exchangers in my country.
I have seen footage of the congress conducted by Mark and the matter of the launch of Facebook. Some quote from the Mark "they will not launch Libra without government regulation" and Mark also said "the creation of Libra is not to avoid government regulation" in fact I am less clear about the regulations that try to kill Libra.
