Coinbase’s latest transparency report reveals a significant global distribution of law enforcement data requests for 2025. While the United States continues to submit the highest volume of requests from any single nation, the exchange noted a marked increase in the aggregate number of inquiries originating from jurisdictions outside the US. This trend underscores the growing international focus on cryptocurrency transaction oversight and regulatory compliance. The report highlights the expanding operational reach of global financial authorities as they seek information for investigations related to fraud, tax enforcement, and other legal matters. Coinbase processes these government and agency requests in accordance with its established legal compliance framework, which requires a valid subpoena, court order, or other appropriate legal process before disclosing any customer data. The findings point to the maturation of crypto regulatory scrutiny on a worldwide scale, moving beyond a US-centric model.
