CBRE vs COIN Comparison

CBRE is the world's largest commercial real estate services and investment firm, providing brokerage, leasing, facilities and project management, valuation, mortgage services, and investment management to occupiers and investors across every major property type. The firm in its current form traces its lineage to a 1998 merger of CB Commercial with UK-based Richard Ellis International, whose own history goes back to London in the 1770s. Today, CBRE employs more than 140,000 people serving clients across more than 250 markets in over 100 countries.

Founded in 2012, Coinbase is the leading cryptocurrency exchange platform in the United States. The company intends to be the safe and regulation-compliant point of entry for retail investors and institutions into the cryptocurrency economy. Users can establish an account directly with the firm, instead of using an intermediary, and many choose to allow Coinbase to act as a custodian for their cryptocurrency, giving the company breadth beyond that of a traditional financial exchange. While the company still generates the majority of its revenue from transaction fees charged to its retail customers, Coinbase uses internal investment and acquisitions to expand into adjacent businesses, such as prime brokerage and data analytics.
