INDEPENDENT REVENUE ANALYSIS

Coinbase consumer transaction revenue rose $863.8M from Q3 to Q4 2024

$852.9M came from higher consumer trading volume and $10.9M from effective yield, bridging volume first. The symmetric Shapley split, which averages both factor orders, gives $856.4M to volume and $7.4M to yield.

Three valid bridge orders

The interaction term moves depending on factor order. The symmetric Shapley method averages both valid orders instead of hiding the choice.

These cases are editable mechanical sensitivities. They are not Coinbase guidance, probabilities, or expected outcomes.

Definition control

The later Q2 2026 deck restated Q2-Q4 2025 consumer spot volumes below earlier disclosures by $1.5B, $1.6B, and $2.3B. The project preserves both vintages and keeps those periods outside the earlier panel.

Why it matters: a longer series is not automatically a more comparable series.

Methods note: no forecast

Before looking at results I set a gate of twelve comparable quarters: eight to train and four chronological holdouts. The comparable public panel has nine, bounded by a Q1 2024 revenue reclassification and later Trading Volume definition changes. So this page publishes the bridge and planning sensitivities and makes no forecast-accuracy claim.
