Despite the collapse of the market, against which many companies were experiencing serious financial difficulties, Coinbase's UK revenue totaled more than 153 million euros ($ 172 million). These data the company filed in the register of legal entities in the UK.

Coinsbase UK executive director Zeeshan Feroz noted that his division accounts for almost a third of the company's revenues. Thus, it can be calculated that the total revenue of Coinbase was more than half a billion dollars. At the same time, representatives of the exchange refused to comment on this information.
