Coinbase Surpasses Q4 Profits Projections Despite Declining Transaction Volume
Coinbase, a cryptocurrency exchange based in the United States, exceeded revenue projections for the fourth quarter of 2022 but saw a sustained fall in transaction volume. The exchange’s net revenue for the quarter came in at $605 million, exceeding the $589 million revenue that Wall Street analysts allegedly predicted.
Despite a 12% drop in transaction volumes from the prior quarter, Coinbase attributed its 34% increase in subscription and service revenues for the quarter’s 5% overall revenue growth. Staking income decreased compared to the preceding quarter as the decline in cryptocurrency prices outpaced the rise in staked balances across all crypto currencies, even though Coinbase restated its belief that its staking products are not securities. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is now looking into the exchange’s staking products.
