                Jaipuria credits the exchange’s strong results to 2 things:
               </p>
               <ul style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 20px; padding-bottom: 10px; padding-left: 12px; margin: 0;">

                 <strong>
                  High take rates:
                 </strong>
                 Coinbase gets 95% of its revenue from transactions, and its current take rate from retail investors is quite high (up to 1.5% vs. 0.05% for institutions).
                </li>
                <li style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 140%; margin: 0 0 0 15px; padding: 0px;">
                 <strong>
                  A crypto bull cycle:
                 </strong>
                 The take rate is being applied to increasing trading volumes as crypto is in its 4th bull cycle
                </li>
               </ul>
               <p style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
                “As the price of Bitcoin has increased from $7K to ~$60K, trading volumes have increased fourfold (16X when annualized) from $80B (2019) to $335B (Q1 2021),” he writes.

               <h4 style="font-size: 17px; height: 100%; letter-spacing: 0px; line-height: 22px; padding-top: 8px; margin: 0px;">

               <p style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
                And Jaipuria notes that a bear case for Coinbase is that its fees will fall as more players -- from consumer fintech (Square, PayPal), brokerages (Fidelity), crypto exchange (Gemini, Binance) -- take share.
               </p>
               <p style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
                Crucially, the fintechs and brokerages can subsidize crypto trading with other business lines.
               </p>
               <p style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
                Coinbase’s potential moat is the trusted brand it’s built.
