This goal is based on the belief that the traditional fiat-based financial system -- the way we currently spend, save, and invest money -- is inefficient. Instead, Coinbase sees a better solution: the cryptoeconomy.</p><p><img src=\"https://g.foolcdn.com/image/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fg.foolcdn.com%2Feditorial%2Fimages%2F621345%2Fblockchain.jpg&amp;w=700&amp;op=resize\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"460\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p><p>Image source: Getty Images.</p><p>The cryptoeconomy is a financial system in which digital (crypto) assets are built on blockchain technology. If you're unfamiliar with the term, the concept is simple enough: Blockchain is a widely distributed, self-governing&nbsp;database that validates and records all transactions on a network. This eliminates the need for a central bank (or authority) to mint and manage the currency. That in turn eliminates many of the transaction fees charged by payment processors and banks. Basically, blockchain is the foundation of a more efficient financial system.</p><p>When Coinbase was founded in 2012, the San Francisco-based company started as a place where users could buy and sell <b>Bitcoin</b> (CRYPTO:BTC). Since then, it has expanded its offering for retail users, and the company has added other cryptocurrencies and products for institutions and ecosystem partners.</p><p>In 2018, Coinbase started launching subscription products and services, including the ability to store, stake, borrow, and lend through its platform. Today, the company also licenses analytics tools to law enforcement and financial institutions, it provides software to help developers build blockchain applications, and it enables merchants to accept cryptocurrency payments.</p><p>The takeaway is this: Coinbase's total addressable market (TAM) depends heavily on the adoption of cryptocurrency. To that end, CEO Brian Armstrong recently said: \"We believe the cryptoeconomy could eventually grow to become a sizable portion of global GDP.\" If that's true, Coinbase has an enormous market opportunity.</p><h3>Competitive position</h3><p>Coinbase is the largest&nbsp;cryptocurrency exchange in the United States. The company has differentiated itself by investing heavily in security and regulatory compliance. In fact, Coinbase is <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE\">one</a> of the longest-running crypto platforms that has never lost customer funds due to a security breach.</p><p>This focus on providing a simple, secure user experience has translated into a thriving financial ecosystem. At the end of 2020, Coinbase had 43 million&nbsp;retail users, 7,000&nbsp;institutions, and 115,000 ecosystem partners on its platform.</p><p>This expanding client base creates a network effect: As more retail users and institutions store assets on Coinbase, the company's liquidity improves, meaning it has more cash to build innovative new products that attract more users. At the same time, as the cryptoeconomy grows, Coinbase's scale should attract more ecosystem partners, adding further value to its business.</p><p>As a final note, Coinbase currently stores $223 billion&nbsp;in crypto assets on its platform. For reference, that figure represents 11.3% of all crypto assets in the world -- that makes this company a significant player in a rapidly growing market.</p><h3>Financial performance</h3><p>Currently, Coinbase generates the vast&nbsp;majority of its revenue through transaction fees, which are highly volatile, since they depend on trading volume. Even so, the median trading volume has increased over time, rising from $17 billion in 2018 to $38 billion in 2020. That has translated into strong financial performance.</p><table><thead><tr><th><p>Metric</p></th><th><p>2019</p></th><th><p>2020</p></th><th><p>Change</p></th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td width=\"156\"><p>Revenue</p></td><td width=\"156\"><p>$534 million</p></td><td width=\"156\"><p>$1.3 billion</p></td><td width=\"156\"><p>139%</p></td></tr><tr><td width=\"156\"><p>Free cash flow</p></td><td width=\"156\"><p>($121 million)</p></td><td width=\"156\"><p>$3.0 billion</p></td><td width=\"156\"><p>N/A</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p>Data source: Coinbase.</p><p>More recently, Coinbase reported preliminary results for the first quarter of 2021.

For some of these products -- like the ability to store, stake, borrow, and lend -- Coinbase earns revenue based on the percentage of assets on its platform that participate in the specific product or service. In other words, investors should pay attention to Coinbase's ability to drive growth in both users and crypto assets stored on its platform.</p><h3>A word of caution</h3><p>Investing in a newly public company is always risky.

If that interest disappears, Coinbase's value will almost certainly plummet.</p><p>That's why I wouldn't commit to buying this stock right away. At the very least, wait to see where the company's market cap lands when it goes public; then ask yourself if Coinbase is worth that amount. In other words, can Coinbase impact the world broadly enough to justify a $100 billion valuation? What if the valuation is $150 billion?
