Concerns have swirled around the New York-based firm in recent months on concentration risks after a stellar year saw ETF assets surge at one point to more than $60 billion. Separately, Ark Next Generation sold 57,043 shares of electric-vehicle maker Tesla Inc. on Wednesday, while Ark Fintech Innovation sold 37,471 shares of Intercontinental Exchange Inc., the emailed data showed.
Coinbase CEO expects 50% of the firm’s revenues to come from non-trading businesses.
As reported earlier, Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong expects the company’s non-trading businesses to grow substantially in the long term. In an interview with CNBC on Wednesday, the CEO said businesses like Coinbase Earn, debit cards, staking, and institutional custody could account for 50% or more in the next five or ten years. Currently, the primary revenue contributor of the US crypto firm is the exchange platform. Last year, for instance, trading fees were 86% of Coinbase’s total revenue. Brian Armstrong said, “I don’t expect fee compression in the short and medium-term, but longer-term, yes, I do think there could be compression, just like every other asset class out there.”
