Coinbase has expanded its reach among institutional investors, announcing during its recent earnings call that 264 institutions now use the company’s developer platform. The company is building out its “crypto-as-a-service” model to integrate digital assets and blockchain technology with traditional financial systems.
For the third quarter of 2025, Coinbase reported revenue of $1.87 billion, surpassing analyst estimates of $1.81 billion. Net income for the period rose to $432.6 million, a significant increase from $75.5 million a year earlier.
CEO Brian Armstrong stated that Coinbase’s developer platform provides blockchain infrastructure to other companies, similar to the way cloud computing platforms operate. “I’m also really proud that Coinbase has built out infrastructure that can power other companies,” Armstrong said. “We call that product Coinbase developer platform… it’s similar to what Amazon did with AWS.” He noted that the network now includes leading banks, payment processors, and fintechs like Shopify, Stripe, PayPal, Revolut, and Webull.
The company’s recent purchase of Echo, a startup specializing in private capital formation, is intended to expand into digital capital markets. Armstrong said this move would help make it easier for anyone to raise money by connecting issuers and investors on the platform, which currently holds $500 billion in assets.
Following these developments, analyst opinions were mixed. Rosenblatt raised its target price for Coinbase stock to $470, citing strong results and new products. Cantor Fitzgerald lowered its target to $459 but maintained an “Overweight” rating amid rising transaction revenue. JPMorgan slightly reduced its target to $399, noting that the strong breadth of results may meet investor expectations. The stock rose about 6.5% after the report, with retail investor sentiment shifting to “bullish.”
