Summary

counted, not written

New Item 1A headings (2)

  1. v. W.J. Howey Co.
  2. Our bylaws contain an ownership threshold that must be met for a shareholder or shareholders to bring derivative claims against our officers or directors, which could limit a shareholder’s ability to bring such claims. In addition, Texas law does not recognize demand futility and as such may require additional procedural steps for a shareholder to bring a derivative claim.

Removed Item 1A headings (2)

  1. A significant amount of the Trading Volume on our platform is derived from a relatively small number of users, and the loss of these users, or a reduction in their Trading Volume, could have an adverse effect on our business, operating results, and financial condition.
  2. The dual class structure of our common stock has the effect of concentrating voting control with those stockholders, including our directors, executive officers, and 5% stockholders, and their respective affiliates. As a result of this structure, our Chief Executive Officer has control over key decision making as a result of his control of a majority of our voting stock. This ownership will limit or preclude your ability to influence corporate matters, including the election of directors, amendments of our organizational documents, and any merger, consolidation, sale of all or substantially all of our assets, or other major corporate transaction requiring stockholder approval.
Reworded Item 1A headings (19)
  1. Our net revenue may be concentrated in a limited number of areas. Within transaction revenue and subscription and services revenue, a meaningful concentration is from transactions in Bitcoin and Ethereum and stablecoin revenue in connection with [removed: USDC,] [added: payment stablecoins,] respectively. If revenue from these areas declines and is not replaced by new demand for crypto assets or other products and services, our business, operating results, and financial condition could be adversely affected.
  2. We operate in a highly competitive industry and [removed: we compete against unregulated or less regulated companies and companies with greater financial and other resources, and] our business, operating results, and financial condition could be adversely affected if we are unable to compete effectively.
  3. We are, and may continue to be, subject to [removed: material] litigation, including individual and class action lawsuits, as well as investigations and enforcement actions by regulators and governmental authorities. These matters are often expensive and time consuming, and, if resolved adversely, could adversely affect our business, operating results, and financial condition.
  4. Loss of a critical [removed: banking] [added: financial institution] or insurance relationship could adversely affect our business, operating results, and financial condition.
  5. If we do not effectively manage our growth, including [added: through acquisitions and] by maintaining and improving our systems and processes, our business, operating results, and financial condition could be adversely affected.
  6. We may not be able to generate sufficient cash to service our debt and other obligations, including our obligations under the 2026 Convertible Notes, [added: 2029 Convertible Notes,] 2030 Convertible Notes, [added: 2032 Convertible Notes,] and Senior Notes.
  7. We have a substantial amount of indebtedness and other obligations, which could adversely affect our financial position and prevent us from fulfilling our obligations under the 2026 Convertible Notes, [added: 2029 Convertible Notes,] 2030 Convertible Notes, [added: 2032 Convertible Notes,] and Senior Notes.
  8. Any acquisitions and investments that we make could require significant management attention, disrupt our business, result in dilution to our [removed: stockholders,] [added: shareholders,] and could adversely affect our business, operating results, and financial condition.
  9. Our tax information reporting obligations with respect to crypto transactions may be subject to further scrutiny in light of [removed: changes made to] the [added: implementation of the] U.S. and global broker reporting regime for tax reporting.
  10. The [removed: cryptoeconomy] [added: onchain economy] is novel. As a result, policymakers are [removed: just beginning to consider] [added: considering] what a regulatory regime for crypto would look like and the elements that would serve as the foundation for such a regime. This less developed consideration of crypto may harm our ability to effectively react to proposed legislation and regulation of crypto assets or crypto asset platforms adverse to our business.
  11. Many of the crypto assets [added: and other products, such as event contracts,] in which we facilitate trading are subject to regulatory authority by the CFTC. Any fraudulent or manipulative activity in a crypto asset [added: or other regulated product, including event contracts,] occurring on our platform could subject us to increased regulatory scrutiny, regulatory enforcement, and litigation.
  12. Particular crypto assets or transactions [removed: therein] [added: therein, or other contracts or products we offer,] could be deemed “commodity interests” (e.g., futures, options, swaps) or security-based swaps subject to regulation by the CFTC or SEC, respectively. If a crypto asset that we facilitate trading in is deemed a commodity interest or a security-based swap, we would be subject to additional regulatory requirements, registrations and approvals, and potentially face regulatory enforcement, civil liability, and significant increased compliance and operational costs.
  13. We [removed: obtain] [added: collect] and process a large amount of sensitive customer data. Any real or perceived improper use of, disclosure of, or access to such data could harm our reputation, as well as adversely affect our business, operating results, and financial condition.
  14. We are subject to laws, regulations, and industry requirements related to data privacy, data protection and information security, and user protection across different markets where we conduct our business, including in the United States, European Economic Area (the “EEA”), and Asia-Pacific region, and [removed: industry requirements and] such laws, regulations, and industry requirements are constantly evolving and changing. Any actual or perceived failure to comply with such laws, regulations, and industry requirements, or our privacy policies, could harm our business.
  15. Our officers, directors, employees, and large [removed: stockholders] [added: shareholders] may encounter potential conflicts of interests with respect to their positions or interests in certain crypto assets, entities, and other initiatives, which could adversely affect our business and reputation.
  16. We are exposed to fluctuations in [added: foreign] currency exchange rates.
  17. We cannot guarantee that the [removed: Share] Repurchase Program will be fully consummated or that such program will enhance the long-term value of our Class A common stock price.
  18. Provisions in our charter documents and under [removed: Delaware] [added: Texas] law, and certain rules imposed by regulatory authorities, could make an acquisition of us, which may be beneficial to our [removed: stockholders,] [added: shareholders,] more difficult, limit attempts by our [removed: stockholders] [added: shareholders] to replace or remove our current management, limit our [removed: stockholders’] [added: shareholders’] ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with us or our directors, officers, or employees, and limit the price of our Class A common stock.
  19. Our [removed: restated] [added: bylaws and] certificate of [removed: incorporation contains] [added: formation contain] an exclusive forum provision [added: and jury trial waiver] for certain claims, [added: respectively,] which could limit our [removed: stockholders’] [added: shareholders’] ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with us or our directors, officers, or employees.

A heading is new when no FY2024 heading matches it after ignoring case and punctuation, and reworded when it shares at least 60 percent of its words with one that went away. All current risk factor headings.

Item 1A. RISK FACTORS

288 rewritten, 82 added, 92 removed, 988 unchanged

Rewritten

You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below, together with all of the other information in this Annual [removed: Report*][added: Report on Form 10-K, including the section titled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and the Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes.]

Rewritten

Due to the highly volatile nature of [removed: the cryptoeconomy and the] prices of crypto assets, our operating results have, and will continue to, fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter in accordance with market sentiments and movements in the broader [removed: cryptoeconomy.][added: onchain economy.]

Rewritten

- our ability to continue to diversify and grow our subscription and services [added: revenue, including our stablecoin] revenue;

Rewritten

- pricing [removed: for] [added: for,] or temporary suspensions [removed: of] [added: of,] our products and services;

Rewritten

- market conditions of, and overall sentiment towards, [removed: the cryptoeconomy;][added: crypto;]

Rewritten

- macroeconomic conditions, including interest rates, inflation, [added: changes in tariffs] and [added: trade restrictions, extended U.S. federal government shutdowns, and] instability in the global banking system;

Rewritten

[removed: In particular, our] [added: Our] subscription and services revenue has grown over [removed: time, with] [added: time to represent a more meaningful amount of our revenue, primarily due to growth in] stablecoin revenue received in connection with [removed: USDC becoming a more meaningful revenue contributor.][added: payment stablecoins.]

Rewritten

In view of the rapidly evolving nature of our business and the [removed: cryptoeconomy,] [added: volatility of the markets in which we operate,] period-to-period comparisons of our operating results may not be meaningful, and you should not rely upon them as an indication of future performance.

Rewritten

We also generate a large portion of total revenue from our subscription and services, and such revenue has grown over time, primarily due to growth in stablecoin revenue in connection with [removed: USDC.][added: payment stablecoins.]

Rewritten

- market conditions of, and overall sentiment towards, crypto [removed: assets and the cryptoeconomy,] [added: assets,] including, but not limited to, as a result of actions taken by or developments of other companies in [removed: the cryptoeconomy;][added: our industry;]

Rewritten

- negative publicity and events relating to the [removed: cryptoeconomy;][added: onchain economy;]

Rewritten

- adverse legal proceedings or regulatory enforcement actions, judgments, or settlements impacting [removed: cryptoeconomy] [added: industry] participants;

Rewritten

- regulatory or legislative changes, scrutiny and updates affecting the [removed: cryptoeconomy;][added: onchain economy;]

Rewritten

- the liquidity and credit risk of other crypto platforms and other participants of the [removed: cryptoeconomy;][added: onchain economy;]

Rewritten

Within transaction revenue and subscription and services revenue, a meaningful concentration is from transactions in Bitcoin and Ethereum and stablecoin revenue in connection with [removed: USDC,] [added: payment stablecoins,] respectively.

Rewritten

While we support a diverse portfolio of crypto assets for trading, staking and custody, our net revenue is concentrated in a limited number of areas, such as transactions in Bitcoin and Ethereum for transaction revenue and stablecoin revenue in connection with [removed: USDC] [added: payment stablecoins] for subscription and services revenue.

Rewritten

For the years ended December 31, [removed: 2024] [added: 2025] and [removed: 2023,] [added: 2024,] we derived a meaningful amount of our net revenue from transaction fees generated in connection with the trading of Bitcoin and Ethereum; these trading pairs drove approximately [removed: 44%] [added: 45%] and [removed: 54%] [added: 46%] of total Trading Volume on our platform during these periods, respectively.

Rewritten

In addition to the factors impacting the broader [removed: cryptoeconomy] [added: onchain economy] described in this section, our revenue may be adversely affected if the markets for Bitcoin and Ethereum deteriorate or if their prices decline, including as a result of the following factors:

Rewritten

- developments in mathematics and technology, including in digital computing, algebraic geometry, and quantum computing that could result [added: or be perceived to result] in the cryptography being used by Bitcoin and Ethereum becoming insecure or ineffective;

Rewritten

- liquidity and credit risk issues experienced by other crypto platforms and other participants of the [removed: cryptoeconomy;] [added: onchain economy;] and

Rewritten

Such revenue depends on a variety of factors, including demand for our subscription and services offerings, demand for [removed: USDC,] [added: payment stablecoins,] the overall [removed: USDC] [added: payment stablecoin] market capitalization, the [removed: balance] [added: mix] of [removed: USDC on our platform,] [added: payment stablecoin balances held in Coinbase products as compared to that held off-platform,] interest rates, and [added: our] ongoing relationships with third parties, such as Circle.

Rewritten

In evaluating counterparties in connection with partnerships, collaborations, joint ventures or strategic alliances, we consider a wide range of economic, legal and regulatory criteria depending on the nature of such relationship, including the counterparties’ reputation, operating results and financial condition, operational ability to satisfy our and our customers’ needs in a timely manner, efficiency and reliability of systems, certifications costs to us or to our [removed: customers, and licensure and compliance status.]

Rewritten

The level of prevailing short-term interest rates affects our profitability because we derive a large portion of our revenue from interest earned on funds deposited with us by our customers which we hold on their behalf in custodial accounts at [removed: banks] [added: financial institutions] and from stablecoin revenue, which is derived from interest earned on [added: payment stablecoins, such as] USDC reserve balances, as well as from interest earned on [removed: corporate] cash and [added: other] cash equivalents.

Rewritten

Further, because stablecoin revenue from [removed: USDC] [added: payment stablecoins] has become an increased portion of our subscription and services revenue, if interest rates were to significantly [removed: decline from levels reached in the current interest rate environment,] [added: decline,] our net revenue could decline.

Rewritten

Conversely, when interest rates increase, investors may choose to shift their asset allocations, which could negatively impact our stock price or the [removed: cryptoeconomy] [added: onchain economy] more generally.

Rewritten

[removed: There] are also inherent security weaknesses in some crypto assets, such as when creators of certain crypto networks use procedures that could allow hackers to counterfeit tokens.

Rewritten

- the governance of many decentralized blockchain networks, including L2 blockchains like [removed: Base,] [added: Base Chain (formerly Base),] is by voluntary consensus and open competition, and many developers are not directly compensated for their contributions.

Rewritten

Further, any actual or perceived breach or cybersecurity attack directed at other financial institutions or crypto companies, whether or not we are directly impacted, could lead to a general loss of customer confidence [removed: in the cryptoeconomy] or in the use of technology to conduct financial transactions, which could negatively impact us, including the market perception of the effectiveness of our security measures and technology infrastructure.

Rewritten

Attacks upon systems across a variety of industries, including the crypto industry, are increasing in their frequency, persistence, [added: magnitude,] and sophistication, and, in many cases, are being conducted by sophisticated, well-funded, and organized groups and individuals, including state actors.

Rewritten

Unauthorized parties have attempted, and we expect that they will continue to attempt, to gain access to our systems and facilities, as well as those of our customers, partners, and third-party service providers, through various means, including hacking, social engineering, phishing, and attempting to fraudulently induce individuals (including employees, service providers, and our customers) into disclosing usernames, passwords, payment card information, or other sensitive information, which may in turn be [removed: used to access our information technology systems and customers’ crypto assets.]

Rewritten

As a result, some applicable laws and regulations do not contemplate or address unique issues associated with the [removed: cryptoeconomy,] [added: onchain economy,] are subject to significant uncertainty, and vary widely across U.S. federal, state, and local and international jurisdictions.

Rewritten

Moreover, the complexity and evolving nature of our business and the significant uncertainty surrounding the regulation of the [removed: cryptoeconomy] [added: onchain economy] requires us to exercise our judgment as to whether certain laws, rules, and regulations apply to us, and it is possible that governmental bodies and regulators may disagree with our conclusions.

Rewritten

Governmental and regulatory bodies, including in the United States, may introduce new policies, laws, and regulations relating to crypto assets and the [removed: cryptoeconomy] [added: onchain economy] generally, and crypto asset platforms in particular.

Rewritten

Other companies’ failures of risk management and other control [removed: functions, including those that played a role in the 2022 Events,] [added: functions] could contribute to stricter oversight of crypto asset platforms and the [removed: cryptoeconomy.][added: onchain economy.]

Rewritten

Furthermore, new interpretations of existing laws and regulations may be issued by such bodies or the judiciary, which may adversely impact the development of the [removed: cryptoeconomy] [added: onchain economy] as a whole and our legal and regulatory status in particular by changing how we operate our business, how our products and services are regulated, and what products or services we and our competitors can offer, requiring changes to our compliance and risk mitigation measures, imposing new licensing requirements, or imposing a total ban on certain crypto [removed: asset transactions, as has occurred in certain jurisdictions in the past.]

Rewritten

There are substantial uncertainties [removed: regarding the scope of] [added: as to how] these requirements [added: would apply] in practice, and we may face substantial [added: compliance] costs to operationalize and comply with these rules.

Rewritten

Moreover, we offer and may in the future offer products and services [removed: whose functionality or value depends in part] [added: that may depend] on [removed: our] [added: novel forms of customer engagement and interaction delivered via blockchain protocols, particularly as it relates to] management of token transaction smart contracts, liquid staking, asset tracking, or other [removed: applications that provide novel forms of customer engagement and interaction delivered via blockchain protocols.][added: applications.]

Rewritten

The legal and regulatory landscape for such products, including the law governing the rights and obligations between and among smart contract developers and users and the extent to which such relationships entail regulated activity [removed: is uncertain and rapidly evolving.][added: are fluid.]

Rewritten

As another example, the extension of anti-money laundering requirements to certain crypto-related activities by the European Union’s Fifth Money Laundering [removed: Directive, as updated by the European Union’s Sixth Money Laundering Directive,] [added: Directive] has increased the regulatory compliance burden for our business in Europe and, as a result of the fragmented approach to the implementation of its provisions, resulted in distinct and divergent national licensing and registration regimes for us in different E.U. member states.

Rewritten

[removed: Among other provisions,] [added: Additionally,] MiCA introduces a comprehensive authorization and compliance regime for crypto asset service providers and a disclosure regime for the issuers of certain crypto assets, which [removed: is expected to] [added: will] impact our operations in the European Union, including through localization [removed: requirements.][added: requirements, due to the obligations associated with our MiCA license (obtained in June 2025).]

New in FY2025

Regulators and authorities in various jurisdictions may assert that these offerings constitute gambling, sports betting, or other regulated activities under state or local laws, rather than federally regulated financial instruments.

New in FY2025

For example, courts may conclude that state laws attempting to prevent the trading of CFTC-regulated sports-related event contracts are not preempted by the CEA, or that outcome based event contracts are not “swaps” falling within the jurisdiction of the CFTC, which could impact our ability to offer certain event contracts in one or more states and could lead to adverse litigation and regulatory actions against us.

Therefore, our operating results could fluctuate significantly as a result of changes in the demand for our subscription and service offerings, in the demand for USDC, in the balance of USDC on our platform, in interest rates, and to our ongoing relationships with third parties, such as Circle.

Dropped from FY2024

Our subscription and services revenue has grown over time to represent a more meaningful amount of our revenue, primarily due to growth in stablecoin revenue received in connection with USDC.

Dropped from FY2024

For example, in 2021, third parties independently obtained login credentials and personal information for at least 6,000 customers and used those credentials to exploit a vulnerability that previously existed in the account recovery process.

Additionally, various governmental and regulatory bodies, including legislative and executive bodies, in the United States and in other countries may adopt new laws and regulations, the direction and timing of which may be influenced by changes in the governing administrations and major events in the cryptoeconomy.

Dropped from FY2024

For example, following the failure of several prominent crypto trading venues and lending platforms, such as FTX, Celsius Networks, Voyager and Three Arrows Capital in 2022 (the “2022 Events”), the U.S. Congress expressed the need for both greater federal oversight of the cryptoeconomy and comprehensive cryptocurrency legislation.

Dropped from FY2024

For example, in April 2023, the SEC reopened a comment period for amendments to Rule 3b-16 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), that could subject several cryptoeconomy participants and systems to registration or other operational compliance requirements under the Exchange Act.

Dropped from FY2024

If the SEC’s proposed amendment is adopted in its current form, we, along with other cryptoeconomy participants, could face significant additional uncertainty and risk of increased operational costs.

Dropped from FY2024

In November 2023, the New York Department of Financial Services (“NYDFS”) adopted guidance regarding the policies and procedures required for virtual currency business entities licensed in New York, such as Coinbase, Inc.

Trading Volume does not include volume from other trading products, such as derivatives, equities, or event contracts, but may in the future as those become more material.

New in FY2025

Within consumer, Advanced traders incur lower fees per transaction than Simple traders, and therefore a shift in the mix of trading between these consumers impacts transaction revenue.

New in FY2025

Trading activity generally directly impacts transaction revenue.

New in FY2025

The Federal Reserve has adjusted the Federal Funds Rate significantly in recent [removed: years in an effort to control inflation, raising] [added: years, including lowering] it from a [removed: low of under 0.1% as] [added: December 31, 2023 rate] of [removed: March 2022 to] [added: 5.33%,] a [removed: peak of 5.33% from July 2023 to September 2024, followed by declines] [added: sustained peak,] to [removed: arrive at 4.33%] [added: 3.64%] as of December 31, [removed: 2024.][added: 2025.]

Rewritten

[removed: This activity reflects an increase of over 500 basis points, followed by a decrease of nearly 100 basis points, and as] [added: As] a result, we believe additional [removed: significant] changes in interest rates [added: of this magnitude] are reasonably possible.

Rewritten

A hypothetical [removed: 200] [added: 150] basis points increase or decrease in average interest rates applied to our average month end cash equivalents [removed: balances] [added: balances, excluding payment stablecoins,] for the years ended December 31, [removed: 2024] [added: 2025] and [removed: 2023,] [added: 2024,] would have resulted in an impact of [removed: $165.8] [added: $143.2] million and [removed: $122.9] [added: $124.3] million, respectively, on interest earned on these funds.

Rewritten

We [removed: also] earn stablecoin revenue from [removed: an] [added: arrangements with payment stablecoin issuers, primarily from a USDC-related] arrangement with Circle.

Rewritten

Circle reported that, as of December 31, [removed: 2024,] [added: 2025, the] underlying reserves were held in cash within segregated accounts titled for the benefit of USDC holders and a government money market fund that held cash, short-duration U.S. Treasuries, and overnight U.S. Treasury repurchase agreements, and therefore the fair value of these balances would not be significantly affected by either an increase or a decrease in interest rates.

Rewritten

A hypothetical [removed: 200] [added: 150] basis points increase or decrease in average interest rates applied to daily USDC reserve balances held by Circle for the years ended December 31, [removed: 2024] [added: 2025] and [removed: 2023,] [added: 2024,] would have resulted in an impact of [removed: $387.8] [added: $540.3] million and [removed: $294.2] [added: $293.5] million, respectively, on stablecoin revenue.

Interest Rates

New in FY2025

increase or a decrease in interest rates.

New in FY2025

The increase in the hypothetical impact on stablecoin revenue since December 31, 2024 primarily reflects higher average USDC market capitalization.

New in FY2025

The increase in the hypothetical gains or losses since December 31, 2024 reflects an increase in the units held, as we increased our investment in crypto assets during the year ended December 31, 2025, deploying available cash.

New in FY2025

Marketable and Strategic Investments

New in FY2025

We hold two categories of investments not denominated in crypto assets - marketable investments and strategic investments.

New in FY2025

Our marketable investments primarily comprise marketable equity securities and are available for trading, while our strategic investments are primarily held long term.

New in FY2025

Marketable investments may begin as strategic investments, as certain securities in which we take a stake for strategic purposes become publicly traded and our intentions with respect to these holdings change accordingly.

New in FY2025

Marketable investments

New in FY2025

Our marketable investments are measured and recorded at fair value on a recurring basis, exposing us to risk that the fair value of these securities will decline due to changes in market prices.

New in FY2025

As of December 31, 2025, our marketable investments were $309.8 million.

New in FY2025

No marketable investments were held as of December 31, 2024.

New in FY2025

Adjustments to the fair value of these investments, as well as realized gains on sales of these investments, relate primarily to our investment in Circle Internet Group, Inc. See *Notes 14.

Fair Value Measurements* and *17.

New in FY2025

Other Consolidated Statements of Operations Details* of the Notes to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional details.

New in FY2025

Changes in market prices of our marketable investments could materially impact our future results of operations and cash flows, the impact of which is difficult to predict as it depends on market factors that we cannot forecast with reliable accuracy, including due to lack of extended price history for our largest holding as it entered the public market in June 2025, and has had high price volatility since public debut.

New in FY2025

If an adverse 10% fair value remeasurement was applied to our marketable investments as of December 31, 2025, it would not have a material impact on our financial results.

New in FY2025

Strategic investments

Equity Investment Risk

Dropped from FY2024

Beginning on January 1, 2024, as a result of our adoption of ASU 2023-08, we changed how we value and present crypto assets held in our Consolidated Balance Sheets and thus there are no comparable figures reported in our Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2023.

Dropped from FY2024

However, prior to adoption, we classified our crypto assets held according to these same categories and have utilized these balances in preparing the following disclosures.

Rewritten

Our platform serves as a [removed: trusted] [added: secure] and compliant on-ramp to the onchain economy and enables our [removed: users] [added: customers] to [removed: engage in a wide variety of activities with] [added: use] their crypto assets in both [removed: our own proprietary] [added: first] and third-party product [removed: experiences enabled by access to decentralized applications.][added: experiences.]

Rewritten

[added: Our business consists of] products that we monetize through transaction fees, such as our consumer trading product suite, as well as subscription [removed: products and services,] [added: products,] such as our stablecoin products.

We offer [added: our trading products through] two trading experiences:

Rewritten

- Simple trade: Our [removed: simple] [added: Simple] trading experience offers customers the ability to [removed: buy, sell,] [added: buy] and [removed: convert] [added: sell] crypto [removed: assets] [added: assets, stocks, futures, and prediction markets] using the basic interface of our [removed: platform, and includes value-added services such as fixed price quotes and recurring trades.][added: platform.]

Rewritten

We [removed: generate] [added: charge] fees from consumers trading on our platform, including through volume-based transaction fees and a spread depending on the type of trade.

Rewritten

Generally, [removed: simple] [added: Simple] trading fees are higher than those on [removed: advanced trading because advanced traders typically trade at higher volumes than simple traders.][added: Advanced trading.]

Rewritten

[added: We service institutional customers via] Coinbase [removed: Prime] [added: Prime, which] is our full-service prime brokerage [removed: platform,] [added: platform] where our institutional customers can access deep pools of liquidity across a network of trading venues.

Rewritten

[added: - Base:] Base is [removed: an] [added: a decentralized] L2 Ethereum blockchain offering fast, [removed: cheap,] [added: low-cost,] global onchain transactions.

Rewritten

[removed: Base’s] [added: Our] goal [added: for Base] is to bring one million developers and one billion users onchain to build a global economy.

[removed: A benefit of Coinbase Wallet is that consumers] [added: Base App users] have sole control over [removed: their private] [added: the cryptographic] keys [removed: and/or seed phrase,] [added: to access their assets,] which are stored directly on their mobile devices or personal storage accounts and not with a centralized entity.

Rewritten

Rewritten

Pursuant to the Circle Agreement, Circle [added: is the issuer of USDC, holds the relevant trademarks which we can use, and] pays us for our role in the growth of USDC: the greater the proportion of USDC in circulation generally and on our platform, the greater our revenue generated under the Circle Agreement.

Rewritten

If such modifications are not agreed upon, the Circle Agreement will automatically renew for additional three-year terms unless we or Circle fail to meet [removed: ongoing obligations under] the [added: conditions specified in the] Circle Agreement.

Rewritten

Historically, we have observed that customers holding USDC on our platform are more likely to use [added: our] other [removed: products] [added: products,] such as trading.

Rewritten

Therefore, where permitted, we pay rewards to both [removed: consumer and] [added: Coinbase One subscribers as well as] institutional customers who hold USDC to incentivize on-platform [removed: balances] [added: use] and deeper engagement with our product suite.

Rewritten

Certain blockchain protocols, such as Ethereum and Solana, rely on staking to validate blockchain transactions, an essential operation to these protocols’ operations and an alternative consensus [removed: mechanism to mining.]

Rewritten

Customers who stake their assets receive [removed: compensation,] [added: rewards,] paid out by applicable blockchain protocols, in [added: the form of the network’s crypto asset.]

Rewritten

Rewritten

In addition to operating our own validator nodes to provide staking services, we [removed: utilize third-party service providers] [added: also provide institutional customers access] to [removed: operate] validator nodes [removed: on our customers’ behalf.][added: operated by third-party service providers.]

Rewritten

Institutional customers receive rewards directly from the [removed: protocol as we do not stake on behalf of these customers.][added: protocol.]

*How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit*

Dropped from FY2024

- We evaluated the reliability of audit evidence obtained from public blockchains.

Dropped from FY2024

Commitments and Contingencies - SEC complaint and legal actions by U.S. state securities regulators — Refer to Note 21 to the financial statements

Dropped from FY2024

The Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) filed a complaint against the Company in 2023 alleging that the Company has acted as an unregistered securities exchange, broker, and clearing agency and has, through its staking program, offered and sold securities without registering its offers and sales.

Dropped from FY2024

Additionally, the Company is the subject of various legal actions initiated by U.S. state securities regulators.

Dropped from FY2024

In accordance with such guidance, the Company establishes accruals for such matters when potential losses become probable and can be reasonably estimated.

Dropped from FY2024

If the Company determines that a loss is reasonably possible and the loss or range of loss can be estimated, the Company discloses the possible loss in the financial statements.

Dropped from FY2024

Because the outcome of these matters remains uncertain, the Company has not recorded or disclosed a loss contingency as of December 31, 2024.

Dropped from FY2024

We identified the evaluation of potential loss contingencies, and related disclosures, related to the SEC complaint and legal actions initiated by U.S. state securities regulators as a critical audit matter because auditing management's judgment in determining the probability and estimate of loss required significant auditor judgment.

Dropped from FY2024

Our audit procedures related to the potential loss contingencies involving the SEC complaint and legal actions initiated by the U.S. state securities regulators included the following, among others:

Dropped from FY2024

- We tested the effectiveness of internal controls related to management's review of loss contingencies and approval of the accounting treatment and related disclosures.

Dropped from FY2024

- We inquired of the Company's internal and external legal counsel to understand the legal merits and the basis for the Company's conclusion specific to the likelihood of loss and the estimate of potential loss or range of loss, as applicable.

Dropped from FY2024

- We obtained and evaluated management's evaluation of the probability of loss and estimation of loss through inquiries, reading the court rulings and briefs prepared by management, and obtaining written responses from internal and external legal counsels.

Dropped from FY2024

- We evaluated events subsequent to December 31, 2024 that might impact our evaluation of the probability of loss, including any related accrual or disclosure.

Dropped from FY2024

- We obtained written representations from executives of the Company.

Dropped from FY2024

- We evaluated whether the Company's disclosures were consistent with our testing.
