BULLISH 📈 : Coinbase Stablecoin Revenue Could Surge 7x Under GENIUS Act
Coinbase (COIN) is poised to benefit significantly from the United States' GENIUS Act, a comprehensive crypto legislation signed into law in July 2025. This act establishes a federal framework for stablecoin issuance and oversight.
Key Points
- In 2025, Coinbase's revenue from stablecoins increased by 48% to $1.35 billion, representing 19% of its total annual revenue.
- This revenue is less volatile than trading fees, deriving from interest on reserves backing Circle’s USDC, primarily invested in US Treasuries.
- Stablecoin income remained stable even as Bitcoin (BTC) prices fell sharply in late 2025.
- The GENIUS Act removes barriers for USDC usage, potentially increasing its adoption in cross-border payments and merchant settlements.
- Bloomberg analysts suggest that under favorable conditions, Coinbase's USDC-related revenue could grow two to seven times its current level.
- Ongoing negotiations on the CLARITY Act might affect customer reward programs, but regulatory clarity should still support stablecoin growth.

Coinbase's stock (COIN) surged by 22%, reaching $185 during recent trading sessions.
