Key Points:
According to Bloomberg, Coinbase Q3 revenue increased by 14% to $674 million, surpassing the forecast of $654.7 million. However, trading volume fell short of expectations, totaling $76 billion, down from $92 billion in the previous quarter.
Coinbase’s net loss narrowed significantly, decreasing to $2.3 million from $545 million in the same period last year. Total operating expenses for the quarter amounted to $754 million, marking a decrease compared to the previous quarter. The adjusted loss per share was $0.01, beating FactSet’s estimate of $0.55 for the third consecutive quarter.
The company attributed some of its success to the USDC stablecoin, generating $172 million in interest income, a 12% increase from the previous quarter. Despite the lower trading volume, Coinbase saw trading revenue of $288.6 million, down 12% from the previous quarter.
Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong has been diversifying the company’s services to adapt to the changing market conditions, including offering exchange-traded funds directly investing in Bitcoin and expanding into crypto futures trading for eligible US customers.
However, Coinbase is still entangled in a legal battle with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). In June, the SEC filed a lawsuit against Coinbase, alleging the exchange operated illegally, potentially affecting Coinbase Q3 revenue.
Despite challenges, the exchange remains optimistic, stating that the decline in trading activity is a result of the broader cryptocurrency market’s fluctuations. In Q4 2023, the exchange generated around $105 million in trading revenue in October and anticipates positive earnings before interest, taxes, and depreciation (EBITDA) in the next quarter.
