Small investors appear to be gradually re-entering the crypto market, although not at the same pace as the last bull market three years ago.
Coinbase, the largest U.S. cryptocurrency exchange, reported a 60% year-over-year increase in net consumer transaction revenue in the fourth quarter and an 80% increase compared to the third quarter, according to a shareholder notice published Thursday.
