Overview
- Coinbase reported Q2 revenue of $1.5 billion, missing FactSet’s $1.59 billion consensus and pushing shares down about 7%.
- Transaction revenue plunged 39% quarter-on-quarter to $764 million as trading volumes softened.
- Net income rose to $1.43 billion, up from $36 million a year earlier, on a $1.5 billion gain related to its Circle stake and $362 million from its investment portfolio.
- Adjusted earnings per share of $1.96 topped LSEG’s $1.26 estimate, driven by non-trading income.
- Retail trading volume grew 16% year-on-year to $43 billion but fell short of StreetAccount’s $48.05 billion projection as Coinbase expanded ETF custody, staking and its Base network.
