Investing.com -- Coinbase swung to a profit in the first quarter Thursday as revenue more than double from a year earlier, underpinned by a jump in trading volumes.
Coinbase Global Inc (NASDAQ:COIN) shares were down more than 3% in after-hours trading following the report.
Coinbase reported reported earnings of $4.40 a share, compared with a loss of $0.34 a share a year earlier, and revenue of $1.64 billion, up from revenue of $772.5M a year earlier. That topped Wall Street expectations for EPS of $0.90 on revenue of $1.29B.
The beat on the top line comes as the cryptocurrency exchange saw a jump in trading volumes.
Consumer trading volume was $56B in Q1, up 93% quarter-on-quarter, while institutional transaction revenue was $85 million, up 133% quarter-on-quarter.
Total transaction revenue rose to $108B, from $374.7M a year earlier, with subscription and services revenue rising to $510.9M from $361.7M a year earlier.
"The bitcoin ETFs – combined with strong market conditions in Q1 – unlocked a flywheel of customer engagement across this more robust product suite. In fact, nearly 40% of institutional clients engaged with at least 3 products in Q1.
Looking ahead the company said that it expects Q2 subscription and services revenue to be within a range of $525 to $600 million.
