Can COIN's Base App Power Web3 Growth and Revenue Diversification?
Read MoreHide Full Article
Key Takeaways
Coinbase launched the Base App to streamline access to dApps, crypto transactions, and on-chain tools.
The app consolidates wallet, DeFi, NFTs and payments, expanding Coinbase's Web3 reach beyond trading.
Base App enables new revenues from staking, token swaps and sequencer fees tied to on-chain activity.
Coinbase Global Inc.’s (COIN - Free Report) Base App, set to replace the existing Coinbase Wallet, represents a major milestone in the company’s broader Web3 strategy. Natively built on Base—Coinbase’s Ethereum Layer 2 network—the app provides users with a streamlined, user-friendly interface to access decentralized applications (dApps), conduct crypto transactions and engage in various on-chain activities. By simplifying the user experience and removing complex blockchain barriers, Base App aligns with Coinbase’s mission to onboard the next billion users into the Web3 space.
Notably, Coinbase becomes the first U.S.-based exchange to roll out a comprehensive super app that brings together key Web3 functionalities — wallet, DeFi, NFTs, and payments — within a single mobile platform. This move expands Coinbase’s reach beyond its core trading business, allowing it to engage a wider consumer audience. The Base App serves as a key growth lever, deepening user participation in the on-chain ecosystem while opening up new monetization pathways.
Importantly, the app enhances and diversifies Coinbase’s revenue streams. As users tap into Web3 services, Coinbase stands to earn from token swaps, staking and other in-app offerings. Its integration with the Base network further allows the company to capture sequencer fees and benefit from rising on-chain activity. This strategic pivot reduces Coinbase’s reliance on unpredictable trading volumes and fosters a more resilient, recurring revenue model centered on infrastructure usage and ecosystem expansion.
