Coinbase is transitioning to an 'everything exchange' model, expanding its offerings beyond traditional cryptocurrency trading to include stock trading, perpetual contracts, and prediction markets. This strategic shift comes as trading fee revenue has decreased to less than 55% of the company's income, a significant drop from over 90% in 2021. The move aims to diversify revenue streams and enhance user engagement. The company is leveraging its Base blockchain to establish long-term differentiation in the market. As the platform broadens its services, maintaining user retention and app engagement will be crucial for its success. This expansion reflects a broader trend in the crypto industry towards integrated financial services platforms.
