Coinbase is one of the most important regulated on-ramps for Ethereum, ETH, stablecoins, and ERC-20 tokens–especially in the U.S. market where compliance and institutional custody matter. Coinbase’s product mix spans spot trading, staking, and a consumer wallet, plus Base, a leading Ethereum Layer-2 that accelerates cheaper fees and higher throughput for mainstream apps. On CoinGecko, Coinbase’s reported 24h spot volume is about $2.47B, giving it real market depth for ETH liquidity and ETH vs BTC portfolio flows. In SEO terms (“buy Ethereum,” “ETH staking,” “regulated crypto exchange”), Coinbase is often the default entry point for both TradFi and Web3 users.
Key metric: Reported 24h volume ~ $2,466,264,818 (CoinGecko).
