The surge reflects renewed enthusiasm in the crypto market due to volatility. The revenue from transactions rose substantially to $1.05 billion, nearly doubling from $573 million recorded in the previous year.
The recent post by Wu Blockchain highlighted the explosive resurgence at Coinbase as the Optimism surrounding digital assets continues. According to analytics, this indicates the start of a general market recovery as the platform improves its stance at the end of Q3 of 2025.
Rising Volumes Drive Financial Growth
Market volatility in the area of Bitcoin and other altcoins has triggered trading activities among the users of Coinbase. Traders returned to centralized platforms after months of slow activity, contributing to the company’s strong financial turnaround. The resurgence among users shows the confidence expressed in the digital currency market.
In Q3 of the year, the total spot trading volume at Coinbase increased by 38% from the previous quarter for the international business and 29% in the U.S. spot business. Coinbase posted a total adjusted EBITDA of $801 million, complementing their already robust business. Total assets presently exceed $31 billion, while liabilities are above $15 billion as of September 30, 2025.
Coinbase’s acquisition of Deribit further extended the influence of the company in the market. Together, the two exchanges handled more than $840 billion in notional volume in the derivatives market during Q3.
Coinbase Expands Bitcoin Holdings by $299 Million
The firm has also expanded its investment in the Bitcoin cryptocurrency by $299 million during the Q3 financial period. The strategic accumulation aligns with broader institutional adoption trends and long-term positioning in the evolving digital finance landscape.
Established in 2012 and founded by Brian Armstrong, Coinbase has retained the status of the largest cryptocurrency exchange in the U.S. today and currently has over 100 million users. It has been listed on Nasdaq since 2021.
Armstrong acclaimed “a strong Q3 at Coinbase” and mentioned the “Everything Exchange” strategy. This, as he pointed out, enables Coinbase users to access 90% of the total crypto market capitalization in one interface. This establishes the firm as the prime hub for retail as well as institutional traders.
