Coinbase's place in the App Store is a number people watch. On 2026-10-30 it was #37 among free finance apps on the US iPhone, and no crypto exchange was in the overall top 100 of either store in any of the 30 countries read here. Five things to know, read from both stores' top free finance and overall charts on 2026-10-30 between 16:27 and 16:32 UTC, 100 apps a chart in 30 countries, from the United States and Brazil to Japan and Nigeria.
1. Coinbase is outside every overall top 100
Coinbase was in the top 100 free finance apps in 12 of the 30 countries on the iPhone and 8 on Google Play. Its best places were #37 on the iPhone in the United States and #33 on Google Play in Canada (#47 in the US). It was in neither store's overall top 100 anywhere, and neither was any other crypto exchange. The highest any exchange reached in a finance chart was Kraken at #9 on Google Play in Italy; on the iPhone it was Binance at #16 in the United Arab Emirates.
2. Kalshi leads US finance
Kalshi, a prediction market, was #2 among free finance apps on the US iPhone and #1 on Google Play, and #7 and #16 in the overall US charts. It was in no other country's charts. Polymarket was #12 in US finance on the iPhone and #50 on Google Play; Robinhood was #29 and #51.
3. Binance travels, and stock brokers sit higher
Binance's main app was in the iPhone finance top 100 in 23 of the 30 countries, and on Google Play in 12. Bitvavo (#17 in the Netherlands), OKX (#18 in Poland) and Luno (#32 in South Africa) ranked above it on the iPhone, and Kraken led the crypto apps on Google Play in Italy, France, Spain, Germany and Sweden. Stock brokers ranked higher still: XTB #4 in Poland, Trading 212 #5 in the United Kingdom and Trade Republic #6 in Germany and Spain, on the iPhone.
4. One app's place in Apple's finance chart
rank() { # country, app id: that app's place among the country's top 100 free finance apps
curl -s "https://itunes.apple.com/$1/rss/topfreeapplications/limit=100/genre=6015/json" \
| jq -r --arg id "$2" '.feed.entry | to_entries[] | select(.value.id.attributes["im:id"] == $id) | "\(.key + 1) \(.value["im:name"].label)"'
}
rank us 886427730
That printed 37 Coinbase: Buy Crypto & Stocks. The same id is "Coinbase: Buy BTC, ETH, SOL" in Canada and "Coinbase: BTC, ETH, SOL kaufen" in Germany, so match on the id, not the title. No output means outside the top 100: this genre feed returns 100 apps even when asked for 200. 6015 is Finance.
5. The #1 finance app is usually a bank or a wallet
Lloyds led both stores in the United Kingdom, ING in Australia, Mercado Pago in Mexico and ShopeePay in Malaysia and Thailand; on Google Play, PhonePe led in India, PayPay in Japan and GCash in the Philippines. The same app led both stores in 10 of the 30 countries. Google Wallet led Google Play in Canada, Israel and the Netherlands, and was in the overall Google Play top 100 in 13 countries, more than any other finance app. In the United States, Capital One led the iPhone and Kalshi led Google Play.
