Abstract

With the rapid development and maturation of the cryptocurrency industry, a large number of enterprises have emerged and come to the forefront in the market. Coinbase, a leader in the cryptocurrency exchange industry, has navigated volatile markets and evolving regulations through robust compliance strategies, continuous technological advancement, and user-centric services. Through a literature review, this paper investigates Coinbase’s business evolution, international expansion, and risk management frameworks, aiming to identify factors contributing to its sustained competitiveness. Meanwhile, by synthesizing industry reports and comparative analyses with peers such as Binance and Kraken, the research underscores Coinbase’s role as a compliance-driven innovator, offering a replicable model for digital asset platforms. Findings highlight the critical interplay between regulatory credibility, technological excellence, and user experience in fostering long-term competitiveness. These insights provide guidance for stakeholders seeking effective platform governance and plans to navigate the crypto economy’s complex landscape.
