Coinbase App is Back in the Top 10 of the App Store in the US

Coinbase climbs back into the top 10 of the App Store as the cryptocurrency market recovers.

The Coinbase app has made a remarkable recovery, entering the top 10 most downloaded apps on Apple's App Store in the US. This result highlights a renewed interest in cryptocurrency trading and investment, especially among retail investors.

The rise of Coinbase is largely due to the recent rally in cryptocurrency markets, with Bitcoin reaching its highest in over a year. This rise has reignited investor confidence, attracting both experienced traders and newcomers to crypto platforms. Coinbase continues to be a popular choice due to its intuitive interface, wide range of available assets, and strong reputation as one of the leading US-based cryptocurrency exchanges.

Coinbase jumps into the top 10 of the App Store thanks to market growth.

The app of Coinbase, one of the best-known cryptocurrency exchanges, has returned to the top 10 most downloaded apps on the App Store in the US, thanks to the growth of the cryptocurrency market triggered by Donald Trump's election victory on 5 November. On 14 November, the app reached ninth place in the list of the most downloaded free apps for the iPhone, up from the 435th place it occupied before the election.

In the US App Store's 'Finance' category, Coinbase ranked first, followed by Robinhood in second and Crypto.com in fifth. On Google Play (for Android), in the US, Crypto.com is in second place, Coinbase in fifth, and Robinhood in ninth.

According to The Block, Coinbase has often re-entered the top 10 at cryptocurrency market peaks. This phenomenon suggests that as Bitcoin reaches new all-time highs, retail investors' enthusiasm grows.

"Coinbase's app rankings have historically been a signal of the return of a large wave of retail users to the cryptocurrency markets," said Stephen Zheng, director of analytics at The Block.

When Bitcoin passed its 2021 price peak in March 2024, Coinbase's app was among the top 50 in the global rankings. During the 2021 market peak, it even temporarily reached the top spot, overtaking TikTok and YouTube.

The app's performance in the financial app category underlines its dominance. Coinbase has outperformed many competitors, thanks to its ability to offer simple and intuitive access to buying and trading cryptocurrencies. Analysts often see these trends as signs of an increase in retail investor activity, which could herald the start of a broader bullish market in the cryptocurrency sector.

Conclusion

This upswing also reflects the broader dynamics of the cryptocurrency industry, such as increased adoption, technological advances and regulatory developments in the US market. Coinbase's prominent position in the App Store not only demonstrates its enduring appeal, but also suggests a possible return of mainstream interest in digital assets.
