Coinbase Releases 2025 Transparency Report, Increases Global Government Information Requests to 12,716

Coinbase released its seventh annual Transparency Report, covering requests for user information from government and law enforcement agencies between October 1, 2024 and September 30, 2025. The report shows that the platform, which operates in more than 100 countries around the world, received 12,716 requests for information throughout the year, an increase of about 19% year-on-year, but the overall size has remained in the 10,000-13,000 range over the past four years.
About 53 per cent of the requests came from outside the US, up about 2 per cent from last year. The US remains the country with the highest number of information requests, with about 80 per cent of law enforcement requests coming from the US, Germany, the UK, France, Spain and Australia.
In terms of major country changes, requests from France rose by 111%, the UK by 16%, Spain by 27%, and Australia by 1%; Germany by 5%, Sweden by 31%, and South Korea by 67%. Requests from Moldova and Brazil increased by about 5.7 times and 2.7 times respectively.
Coinbase emphasized that the balance between privacy protection and compliance obligations is critical, and the company will continue to maintain customer privacy through rigorous scrutiny, scaling back overly broad requests, and responding with anonymized or aggregated data wherever possible.
