Over the past eight quarters, total quarterly trading volume has grown from $28 billion, to the current "depressed" level of $217 billion.

Coinbase has a net cash position near $2.5 billion, over $6 billion in near money assets and no debt principial due until 2026.

There is no real indication of a policy pivot by the Fed. Outside of modest reversal in energy prices, last week's September CPI showed entrenched price growth worsening.
