COIN launches U.S. stock and ETF trading, deepens Yahoo Finance tie-up and pushes its vision to become an "everything exchange".
One crypto giant just flipped the script and rolled out (wait for it) stock trading.
A wildly popular cryptocurrency exchange, Coinbase (NASDAQ:COIN | COIN Price Prediction) shares jumped 16% on February 13 following the company's Q4 2025 earnings report, a rally that suggests investors may finally be looking past Coinbase's reputation as a pure bitcoin proxy.
Coinbase now offers stock trading to everyone in the United States, allowing its users to trade stocks and exchange-traded funds (ETFs) alongside the crypto the platform already handled.
COIN, NBIX and UPST have been added to the Zacks Rank #5 (Strong Sell) List on February 18th, 2026.
The recommendations of Wall Street analysts are often relied on by investors when deciding whether to buy, sell, or hold a stock. Media reports about these brokerage-firm-employed (or sell-side) analysts changing their ratings often affect a stock's price.
Coinbase Global (COIN) has received quite a bit of attention from Zacks.com users lately. Therefore, it is wise to be aware of the facts that can impact the stock's prospects.
Coinbase remains a compelling long-term "Buy" after a ~50% decline, supported by resilient institutional participation and cost discipline. COIN is executing well amid a tough crypto environment, laying groundwork for profitable expansion when market conditions improve. Institutional trading revenue grew 31% y/y to $185 million, helping stabilize COIN's business as retail trading wanes.
COIN's Q4 results reflect lower consumer transaction revenues and other transaction revenues, higher operating expenses and reduced adjusted EBITDA.
Coinbase's Q4 earnings miss and a 65% stock plunge since October put COIN under pressure, but ETFs offer a way to stay in the crypto game.
Coinbase reported Q4 2025 earnings a couple of days ago. If I had to use one word to summarize the earnings print, ugly is the word I'd have chosen. As I explained in a macro analysis a few days ago, empirical evidence suggests the crypto winter may last much longer. This is bad news for Coinbase. A closer look at CFO Alesia Haas's comments on the Q3 and Q4 earnings calls and the guidance for Q1 2026 suggests that Coinbase has a new priority for 2026.
Coinbase Global Inc (NASDAQ:COIN) reported fourth quarter 2025 results that fell short of analyst expectations as crypto market activity softened during the period. The company posted revenue of $1.78 billion for the quarter, below the $1.85 billion consensus estimate, while earnings per share came in at $0.66 versus the $1.05 forecast.
