Beyond Brian Armstrong Coinbase Shares Story, Exchange Q3 Statement Takes Focus
Early in the month, Coinbase released its извештај за заработка на третиот квартал, which reflected the impact of the stifling crypto marketplace. For the period ended September 30th, the leading American crypto exchange managed to pull in a relatively tame $590 million in revenue. This figure sat some way off the consensus estimate of $654 million for the same period and translated to a 50% loss year-over-year (YoY). In addition, the company lost $2.43 per share in Q3 compared to the $2.40 projected by analysts.
Coinbase also reported decreased third-quarter trading volume for popular digital currencies such as Bitcoin (БТК) и Етер (ЕТХ). Bitcoin accounted for 31% of trading volume for the quarter, while ETH constituted 33%.
Although Coinbase’s monthly transacting users (MTUs) in the third quarter declined from the preceding month, it surpassed analysts’ estimates. After recording 9.2 million users in Q1 and 9 million in the subsequent quarter, the exchange did 8.5 million MTUs for its latest quarterly outing. This figure compares favorably with the substantially lower consensus estimate of 7.84 million for the same period. Coinbase further projects that its fourth-quarter MTU will come in below 9 million.
