It's not obvious this is true. They make ~0.10% on their insto trades, and ~1-10% on their retail trades. From 2019 to 2020 instos grew 140% and retail grew 80% Now volume is up ~750%. How much of that growth is from retail vs instos? Makes a huge difference!

One last crazy fact from the Coinbase S1 I will throw in there today. Coinbase revenue is 96% transactional. That means that % of revenue/volume is relatively stable. So if you know volume, you can deduce revenue relatively easily. What does this mean?

ahh -- looks like their definition of "retail" doesn't match "prime vs mobile/coinbase.com" very well, which is what really determines fees

Well you could assume that Q1 this year will have higher retail regardless of valuation. So the ratio should theoretically really be higher than last quarter, no? Last quarter the insti volume I assume was higher than it is now
