<p>The shift towards a subscription-based model comes in the wake of challenges faced by Coinbase in sustaining <a href="https://crypto.news/coinbase-debuts-feeless-usdc-trading-in-singapore/" target="_blank" data-type="URL" data-id="https://crypto.news/coinbase-debuts-feeless-usdc-trading-in-singapore/" rel="noreferrer noopener">trading fees</a>, which traditionally formed a significant chunk of the company&#8217;s revenue. </p>



<p>However, the firm seems to be faring well in the new direction, with subscriptions and service revenue clocking in at $362 million, marking a 28% quarter-over-quarter increase from the last quarter of 2022, as revealed in their early May <a href="https://investor.coinbase.com/financials/quarterly-results/default.aspx" target="_blank" data-type="URL" data-id="https://investor.coinbase.com/financials/quarterly-results/default.aspx" rel="noreferrer noopener">earnings report</a>.</p>

<p>However, amidst the new business strides, Coinbase also navigates turbulent waters with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (<a href="https://crypto.news/us-sec-delays-ratification-of-digital-assets-definition/" data-type="URL" data-id="https://crypto.news/us-sec-delays-ratification-of-digital-assets-definition/">SEC</a>). Earlier this year, the SEC issued a Wells notice to Coinbase. In response, a court ordered the SEC to answer Coinbase’s petition. </p>



<p>The SEC responded by noting the recency of Coinbase&#8217;s filing and supplementing the record, leaving the issue under <a href="https://crypto.news/lawyer-john-deaton-knocks-sec-after-coinbase-rejection/" data-type="URL" data-id="https://crypto.news/lawyer-john-deaton-knocks-sec-after-coinbase-rejection/">ongoing legal scrutiny</a>.</p>



<p>The launch of Coinbase One presents a significant strategic move in Coinbase&#8217;s business model amidst evolving revenue streams and regulatory landscapes.</p>
