In cryptocurrency news, Coinbase might see another $1.26 billion in revenue from its NFT segment, according to Needham analyst John Todaro, Coindesk wrote Thursday (March 17).
The NFT business from Coinbase hasn’t officially come out, but CEO Brian Armstrong said that during the earnings call, the market has been ripe.
Todaro’s scenario would have the Coinbase NFT platform with fees at 2.5%, volume of $1.5 billion and annual revenue of $450 million.
