I don't think $1B is the transaction amount.
In the last 24 hours, trade volume on GDAX(Coinbase's exchange) for Bitcoin alone was $247 million.[1]
Their trade fees are around 0.25%[2] so in the last 24hr they made over $60M in Bitcoin trading alone.

- irq11 9y ago.25% of 247 million is $617,500, not 60 million
- cobookman 9y ago247 * 365 * 0.0025 = 225,387,500 / year. How is that 1B?
- syntheticcdo 9y ago$1B in revenue sounds reasonable, seeing as there are higher volume days than just yesterday, and those trading revenues don't include revenue from fees on (non-GDAX) Coinbase buy transactions.
- tehlike 9y agoI Am not sure if all of transaction volume is subject to fees. Market makers get a discount, or can even do it for free, and part of their larger customers might be other exchanges which would get similar discounts.
