On-chain research firm Kaiko has highlighted the growth in Coinbase market share in the United States. Specifically, it noted that Coinbase's market share has climbed from 38% to 61% as of July 2023 since becoming public in April 2021.

Noticeable on the chart it posted was the growth recorded between February and August, which Kaiko indicated with an upward-trending arrow.

The growth comes despite the SEC lawsuit, which was filed in June. The SEC ramped up its regulatory pressure as it sued Coinbase, claiming that some digital currencies are securities.
