Coinbase Q3 Revenue Exceeds Expectations

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.

The Company’s Diversification Strategy and Ongoing Legal Challenges

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.
