Coinbase Reports Wider-Than-Expected Loss, Shares Drop
Coinbase shares fell more than 5% after hours following disappointing second-quarter results that marked its third consecutive quarter of missing revenue and earnings expectations. The crypto exchange reported a $359.5 million loss for the period ended June 30 compared to a profit of $1.43 billion in the same period last year, with losses per share at $1.36 versus an expected 17 cents loss. Revenue declined to $1.2 billion from $1.5 billion a year ago. Despite efforts to diversify revenue streams, Coinbase's results were impacted by ongoing challenges in the crypto market and broader macroeconomic conditions such as high interest rates and volatility. Subscription-based services brought in $555 million while transaction revenue was at $599 million—both below expectations and down from a year ago. CEO Brian Armstrong highlighted gains in trading market share but acknowledged continued struggles due to weak investor appetite for risk amid outflows from bitcoin ETFs.
