Coinbase’s $2.24B Volume Secures 26th U.S. Equities Rank as Crypto Firms Navigate Regulatory Crosscurrents

On September 15, 2025, Coinbase Global (COIN) saw a trading volume of $2.24 billion, ranking 26th among U.S. equities. The stock closed with a 1.23% gain, outperforming broader market volatility as crypto-related assets faced mixed regulatory developments.

Recent regulatory uncertainty in key markets weighed on investor sentiment. A proposed SEC rule change targeting digital asset trading platforms intensified short-term caution, though Coinbase’s institutional client base showed resilience. Analysts noted that the firm’s Q2 revenue growth of 18% year-over-year provided a floor for share price stability amid sector-wide declines.

Market structure dynamics highlighted Coinbase’s liquidity position. The company’s derivatives platform reported a 25% increase in institutional order flow compared to the previous quarter, suggesting growing adoption of its custody and trading solutions. However, margin compression from reduced retail trading activity remained a near-term concern.

To run this back-test precisely, I need to clarify a couple of practical details: 1) Universe of stocks—Should we scan all listed U.S. equities, only S&P 500 constituents, or a different universe? 2) Rebalancing mechanics—Do you want the portfolio to be equally weighted across the top-500 names each day? 3) Transaction costs & slippage—Should we include any commission or bid-ask slippage assumptions? Once those points are settled, I can generate a data-retrieval plan and run the back-test.
