Leading cryptocurrency exchange in the United States, Coinbase Global Inc. (NASDAQ: COIN) reported quarterly earnings. Crypto companies are likely to be crypto dependent and activities in the sector impact them. Coinbase stock price witnessed similar situations akin to the cryptocurrency market throughout the past and enjoyed the rollercoaster ride.
Last quarter was specifically crucial for Coinbase since it had been sued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in June 2023. The financial regulator alleged crypto exchange for unregistered securities offerings.
Instead of suffering a great deal, which an entity facing charges from the regulator expectedly go through, COIN stock took a surprising up move.
Coinbase reported $707.9 Million in revenue, though the numbers are relatively less than the previous quarter’s $772.5 Million and $808.3 Million a year ago.
The company reported a net loss of $97 Million along with posting a positive adjusted EBITDA of $194 Million. Interest income also saw a surge while reporting $201.4 Million for the quarter significantly up from the previous year’s $32.5 Million.
Coinbase managed its losses as it saw a drop from $1.09 Billion last year to $97 Million this time.
However, one front where the crypto exchange took a hit was trading volume over the platform. It dropped from $217 Billion a year ago to $92 Billion this quarter.
Along with the numbers, the Coinbase executives showcased their optimism for the company to win the case against the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The US financial regulator charged the leading cryptocurrency exchange for offering cryptocurrencies that it cited as unregistered securities.
