Coinbase reported a disappointing first-quarter performance, with shares dropping 4% in after-hours trading. The company posted a loss of $1.49 per share, missing analyst expectations of a 27-cent profit. Revenue fell short at $1.41 billion, below the anticipated $1.52 billion, as crypto trading activity declined due to falling digital asset prices.
Transaction revenue reached $755.8 million, missing the forecast of $805.2 million, while subscription and services revenue was $583.5 million, under the expected $619.3 million. Despite these challenges, Coinbase's global crypto trading volume market share hit a record 8.6%, driven by a 169% year-over-year increase in derivatives trading volume. The company also highlighted growth in prediction markets and stablecoin activity.
Coinbase announced a 14% workforce reduction, citing the crypto downturn and an AI-driven restructuring effort. Investors are closely watching whether the company's subscription and infrastructure segments can mitigate the impact of cyclical trading revenue fluctuations.
