Alex Markraff's questions to Coinbase Global Inc (COIN) leadership • Q2 2025
Question
Alex Markraff from KeyBanc Capital Markets inquired about the economics of recent bank partnerships like PNC and JPMorgan, asking who controls the user experience, the scope of services offered, and the expected timeline for these services to ramp up.
Answer
CEO Brian Armstrong described the offering as a fully white-labeled 'Crypto as a Service' infrastructure, where partners like PNC retain complete control over the user experience. CFO Alesia Haas clarified that revenue from these partnerships will be reflected in existing line items, such as institutional trading and custody assets, rather than a new, distinct revenue stream.
