Coinbase Users
As of the third quarter of 2023, the total verified users of Coinbase are 98 million which was 89 million at the end of the year 2021. There is a significant increase of 9 million users and that’s huge!
However, you should clearly understand that there is a difference between the verified users and the users that are actually transacting, whose numbers we have shown in the next sections below.
According to the company, the term verified user is addressed to those users who have signed up at Coinbase and have confirmed their email address and phone number.
Although there is a slump in the Crypto market these days, we still expect Coinbase users to cross the 100 Million mark in 2024.
Coinbase Verified Users: Annual Report
The graph below shows the number of verified or registered users since 2014 which is of the last 10 years (including the current year). The company achieved the benchmark of 1 million registered users in 2014.
The greatest jump in verified users was seen between the years 2020 and 2021 as it saw an increase of 46 million users in a single year. The primary reason behind this hike was the fluctuation (or sudden spike) in Bitcoin and several other cryptocurrencies, which led to a major craze for Crypto in the world.

Coinbase Monthly Active Users
The number of monthly active users when compared with the number of verified users is quite low which is obvious for any platform.
You should not be confused between monthly active users and monthly transacting users as both are the same. The company uses the term monthly transacting users while showing the data in their reports.
The point of attention is that Coinbase considers the 28-day period in any month while calculating the data.
Before knowing the data of Coinbase monthly transacting users first you should understand what it is and the criteria that describe it. All these points are discussed in short in the sub-section below.
Coinbase Monthly Transacting Users (MTU)
The company considers the user as active or counts the accounts in the monthly transacting users who transact more than once in a period of 28 days. That means if a user has done a transaction last month and does not transact this month then he will not be counted in ‘monthly transacting users’ data for this month.
From the above discussion, many accounts that are actively holding any cryptocurrencies are considered inactive accounts or non-transacting users.
MTU: Quarterly Report
Data on the number of monthly transacting users (MTU) is presented at the end of each quarter of the year and it is the average of three months that lie that quarter.
The table below is the MTU data from the 1st quarter of 2018 to the recent quarter of 2023.
