Subscription Revenue Surge: Subscription and services revenue surged by 64% year-over-year to $2.3 billion, driven by USDC, staking, and Coinbase ONE.

Platform Asset Growth: Assets on the platform grew to $4 billion, representing approximately 12% of the total crypto market cap, indicating strong customer trust and engagement.
Negative
Subscription Revenue Decline: Subscription and services revenue declined by $21 million or 9% due to a lower interest rate environment and the impact of new EUSDC ecosystem participants, which offset growth from USDC market cap increases.
Operating Expenses Increase: Total operating expenses increased by 19% to $1.2 billion, driven by higher transaction expenses and a collective growth of over $84 million in technology, development, general and administrative, and sales and marketing costs.
Trading Volume and Margins: Despite a strong trading volume increase of 137%, the retail trading fee rate increased slightly, indicating potential pressure on margins as trading volume surges.
Crypto Gains Impact Earnings: The net income of $1.3 billion was significantly bolstered by $476 million in pretax gains on crypto asset investments, with the majority being unrealized, raising concerns about the sustainability of earnings.
Regulatory Change Impact: The company faced a regulatory change with the SEC's rescission of SAB 121, which may complicate the reporting of customer assets and liabilities, potentially impacting investor confidence.
