Without further ado, let\u2019s dive in\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
About Coinbase<\/h2>\n\n\n\n![\"Coinbase](https://www.authorityhacker.com/"https:////www.authorityhacker.com//wp-content//uploads//2022//07//coinbase-homepage-1024x520.png/")
<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nBased in San Francisco, Coinbase is a digital currency exchange that started out back in 2012 with what it describes as the \u201cradical idea\u201d that sending and receiving Bitcoin should be easy for anyone, anywhere, to achieve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Turns out that idea proved pretty popular. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fast forward to the current day, and Coinbase has become one of the world\u2019s biggest and best-known crypto exchanges, being used by almost 100 million verified users in over 100 countries to buy, save, spend, and earn various digital currencies.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Coinbase trading platform carries over $300 billion in trades every quarter, while the company holds $256 billion in assets.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Every crypto transaction on the platform is subject to 1% in Coinbase fees, so it\u2019s not hard to fathom how Coinbase makes a ton of money (including $4 billion in revenue in the first half of 2021 alone<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"Coinbase](https://www.authorityhacker.com/"https:////www.authorityhacker.com//wp-content//uploads//2022//07//coinbase-revenue.png/")
<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nSince its first foray into the world of Bitcoin trading, the brand has launched Coinbase Pro, a platform designed for individual traders on which all USD balances are covered by the FDIC, up to a value of $250,000 per customer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It also has a bunch of other features and offshoots, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- Coinbase Commerce:<\/strong> A decentralized platform that allows merchants based anywhere in the world to accept crypto payments.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Coinbase Custody: <\/strong>An independent business and fiduciary backed by an insurance program protecting offline and digital assets across the Coinbase platform.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Coinbase Ventures:<\/strong> An company that invests in early-stage crypto and blockchain startups.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Coinbase Prime:<\/strong> A one-stop shop for managing crypto assets that also offers the same secure offline storage as Coinbase Custody.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Coinbase Card:<\/strong> A Visa debit card that makes it easy to spend digital currencies.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
As if that wasn\u2019t enough, it operates one of the most popular Bitcoin and cryptocurrency affiliate programs<\/a>. But you probably already knew that, or you wouldn\u2019t be reading this review.<\/p>\n\n\n\nAt this point, we need to address the elephant in the room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sure, crypto has taken a bit of a beating in recent months. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The combined market cap of digital currencies dropped dramatically in May and June 2021, largely due to China\u2019s efforts to cut down on cryptocurrency mining and the growing proliferation of crypto.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But the market cap still stands at more than $1 trillion<\/a> \u2014 about five times higher than its value two years ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"Crypto](https://www.authorityhacker.com/"https:////www.authorityhacker.com//wp-content//uploads//2022//07//crypto-market.png/")
<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nIt\u2019s still an extremely <\/em>popular financial system, and one that lots of people are eager to get involved in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
