Coinbase's John D’Agostino says crypto platform stands alone as industry's full-service prime broker
Summary
Coinbase has established itself as the industry's only full-service prime broker by integrating trading, custody, financing, derivatives, staking, and cross-margining into a single platform. John D’Agostino, head of strategy at Coinbase Institutional, argues that while competitors rely on fragmented services, Coinbase offers these essential Wall Street-grade functions natively. With over $350 billion in custody and support for a vast range of assets, the firm acts as a vital bridge between traditional finance and digital markets, currently facing more competition from nimble startups than from traditional banking incumbents.
