Monthly and quarterly operating metrics from listed exchanges, brokerages and crypto venues, taken from each company's own releases and filings.
Click a company to open its metrics, and a metric for its history. Each change compares like-for-like periods: the same months of the prior quarter and of the prior year, with the months compared shown under each figure. Balances compare month-ends. If either side is missing a month, the change is left blank rather than comparing unequal periods. Market shares change in percentage points.

Robinhood skips a release for quarter-end months; those come from the next release's prior-month column or its quarterly results. DARTs (to Feb 2026) and DATs (from 2026) are different measures, kept as separate series.

From Dec 2025 Schwab's average interest-earning assets exclude margin loans and short credits of certain client long/short strategies; 2025 months are shown on that restated basis where Schwab published it. Margin balances include short credits related to those strategies.

eToro publishes monthly metrics once a quarter, for the middle month (Feb, May, Aug, Nov), so the series has gaps by design. Its 2025 July-and-August release gave two-month totals; only its August balances (AuA, funded accounts) are used.

| Coinbase | Crypto | 2Q26 | Jul 30 | 3Q26 Oct 29 | 7 of 7 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Quarterly only, from 10-Q/10-K filings. Coinbase dropped trading volume as a key metric in 2026. Q4 revenue = 10-K year minus Q1-Q3 (derived). The 2026 10-Qs reclassified part of stablecoin revenue and restated 1Q25-2Q25 (shown restated); 3Q25 and 4Q25 stay on the original basis until restated filings appear, so 2025 quarters do not sum to the 10-K total.

Up to six series from any companies on one chart. Raw plots actual values (series in different units get one chart per unit, on the same timeline); Indexed rebases each to 100 at the start of the range so different units compare on one chart; YoY shows growth (market shares in points).

Every series on this page, monthly, with the unit reported by the company, the unit shown here, and a link to the source release for each month. The Excel file adds a months-across sheet and a metric dictionary.
Every figure comes from a company's own monthly release, parsed from the original file (workbook, PDF or press release) and stored as one row per company, metric and month. Before each build, components must sum to totals, market shares must sit between 0 and 100%, and month-on-month moves outside a normal band are flagged for review.
Quarter roll-up. Each metric rolls up to a quarter in one of three ways: an average of the months (ADV, shares, spreads), a sum (volumes, deposits, new accounts) or the last month (assets, balances, accounts). A quarter with fewer than three reported months is drawn dashed with a hollow point.
Derived months. Where a company reports a quarter but not one of its months (CME's quarter-end releases list asset classes for the quarter; Robinhood skips quarter-end months), the missing month is backed out: flows as the quarter total minus the other two months; daily averages as the quarter's ADV times its trading days, minus the other two months' volume, divided by the month's trading days (US trading days from Cboe); balances as the quarter-end figure. Averages that dropped out of a release are rebuilt from their parts (volume ÷ trading days). Derived months are hollow points on charts, marked Derived in tables, and labelled in downloads. A reported figure is never replaced. Check: CME's derived March 2025 asset classes sum to 30.7m contracts a day against the reported 30.8m total.
A later release reported a different value for a month already on file. The newer value is used.
