One prediction market prices this story:
- Above 7 million — the market puts it at 70%, closing 12 May 2027. The market resolves to Yes if Coinbase Global Inc. reports more than 7 million monthly transacting users during fiscal year 2026. It resolves to No if the reported number is 7 million or fewer. Readers often mistake the deadline, thinking it applies to any quarter in 2026 rather than the entire fiscal year.
Odds are the market's probability that the outcome happens, updated every few minutes. They are information about what traders expect, not a forecast we make and not investment advice.
