Cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase narrowed its net loss to $2 million in the third quarter, as inotched a year-on-year increase in revenue despite lower trading volumes. <\/p>\n
The firm\u2019s net loss in Q3 was trimmed from a $545 million net loss in the prior year period, according to a Nov. 2 earnings statement.<\/p>\n
Total revenue increased 14.2% year-on-year to $674.1 million, though quarter-on-quarter revenue fell 4.8%. The figure beat London Stock Exchange Group\u2019s estimate of $653.2 million, according to a report from Reuters.<\/p>\n
Of the total revenue, $334.4 million came from subscription and services (mostly stablecoin and blockchain rewards), while $288.6 million came from transaction-based revenues.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, consumer trading volume came in at $11 billion, a fall from $26 billion in Q3 2022.<\/p>\n
Institutional trading volumes came in at $65 billion, down from $78 million in Q2 and $133 million in Q3 2022. <\/p>\n
These volumes have been trending downwards for five consecutive quarters.<\/p>\n
Despite this, Coinbase said in a statement it was pleased with how the quarter played out:<\/p>\n
\u201cQ3 was a strong quarter for Coinbase. Amid multi-year low levels of volatility, we are pleased with our financial results.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
The exchange also produced a positive adjusted EBITDA for the third consecutive quarter \u2014 a sign that they\u2019re building toward a \u201csustainable business\u201d that can drive \u201clong term growth,\u201d it said. <\/p>\n
Adjusted EBITDA stands for earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and is a metric that provides analysts a means to make more meaningful comparisons to a variety of companies in the same industry.\u00a0<\/p>\n
