Read MoreHide Full Article
Key Takeaways
Coinbase launched Coinbase Business in Singapore as part of its broader international expansion.
The platform supports payments, treasury, settlements and payroll using USDC and Standard Chartered.
Global growth aims to diversify revenues as international contributions rose sharply in 2024.
Coinbase Global (COIN - Free Report) has rolled out Coinbase Business in Singapore, its first international market outside the United States. This marks yet another endeavor in COIN’s international expansion strategy. Also, this marks its continuous efforts to be the industry’s premier “everything exchange.”
COIN has launched Coinbase Business, banking on Coinbase-backed stablecoin USDC and in partnership with Standard Chartered. Per cryptonews COIN stated that this launch builds on its recent collaboration with the Monetary Authority of Singapore under the BLOOM Initiative. Coinbase Business is designed to help companies use digital assets for payments, treasury management, cross-border settlements, and payroll. COIN considers Singapore to be Asia’s digital hub. This launch thus helps COIN scale its business in Asia, where crypto is increasingly adopted.
COIN’s international operations are spread across Australia, Brazil, Kenya, the European Union, India, Japan, the Philippines, Indonesia, Singapore, the United Kingdom and Switzerland, among others. As part of its international expansion strategy, this January, COIN obtained Virtual Asset Service Provider registration from Argentina's National Securities Commission. The crypto leader now operates legally in Argentina. COIN has re-entered the Indian market this year and, in October, made an investment in CoinDCX, which is a leading crypto exchange in India and the Middle East.
Coinbase’s international expansion underscores its efforts to diversify revenues and lower dependence on U.S. operations. Revenues from international operations contributed 16.8% to total revenues in 2024, up 450 basis points from the 2023 level and increased nearly threefold year over year. However, revenues from U.S. operations constitute the majority of its top line.
What About COIN’s Peers?
Circle Internet Group’s (CRCL - Free Report) international expansion strengthened its position as a global fintech powerhouse. By expanding its footprint across Europe, Asia and Latin America, Circle has gained stronger access to regulated digital markets. By accelerating global USDC adoption, Circle positions itself for sustained growth and leadership in the rapidly evolving digital financial ecosystem.
Robinhood Markets’ (HOOD - Free Report) international expansion enables it to tap into rising global retail investing demand. By establishing operations in the United Kingdom and Asia, Robinhood broadens revenue streams and reduces reliance on U.S. markets. With strategic acquisitions and regional hubs, Robinhood is well-positioned for sustained growth and a stronger presence in the global fintech landscape.
