Information released to Coinbase shareholders indicates that the crypto exchange made $ 1 billion in sales last year. That's the equivalent of $ 2.74 million a day and $ 2,000 a minute.
According to Recode, the crypto exchange took in more than $ 1 billion last year. Most of the profits came from transaction fees. These are between 0.25% and 1% on the crypto exchange. With a large number of transactions or high transfers, this quickly leads to large sums.
But not only the cryptocurrencies on Coinbase are sought after, also the shares of the company are in demand by investors. Shareholders reported that new investors are interested in buying their shares. Coinbase, however, has signed contracts with its investors, which prohibit exactly that.
Selling shares on secondary markets is prohibited for a variety of reasons. One of the reasons is that there is no complete information for the market, it said in a statement of the crypto exchange. "We will take reasonable action if we find out that people have sold their Coinbase shares, contrary to the agreement not to do so."
It's about time that coinbase gets a big competitor.
Wow, I didn't know that about the shares. It makes it almost like an exclusive club-type setting, making the rich richer. I agree with you, it's time for some solid competition to come in and force them to put the cutomer first.
