There doesn't seem to be any public information about Coinbase Analytics, not even a product touting on their website.
Coinbase bought over Neutrino in February of last year, which called themselves a "Blockchain Intelligence Platform". What that actually meant was a "Blockchain Analysis Platform", who specialized in tracking movements and transactions, linking addresses to specific people and organizations, de-anonymizing people, generally invading privacy whenever they could, and making money by selling that data to anyone who would pay for it. Neutrino was an off-shoot from Hacking Team, another privacy invading and surveillance company, but rather than focusing on blockchains this one focused on people, creating software to spy on people's emails, instant messaging, Skype, VoIP, etc., remotely activating webcams and microphones, access private files and data, and other generally horrendous things. Hacking Team also sold these capabilities to various dictatorships and oppressive regimes around the world.
Coinbase, although obviously very keen to get these same people on board to invade the privacy of their users as much as possible and extract maximum profits from selling their data, didn't want that name associated with them, so rebranded it to the much less offensive "Coinbase Analytics".
Turns out that the IRS and the DEA are the highest bidders at the moment for Coinbase's customer data, and so to the IRS and the DEA it goes. I wonder who they will sell their users out to next.
