The company continues to benefit from higher subscription and services revenues, increased adoption of a greater number of crypto assets, higher volatility and a rise in interest across the entire crypto economy, improved product suite and declining expenses.

An increase in both the average crypto asset prices and total crypto spot market volumes will drive the overall trading volume of COIN. The company is also implementing the second phase of crypto adoption, that is, crypto as a technology. The company is making continued investments in technology through products like staking which are expected to increase customer engagement. COIN aims to drive utility in cryptocurrency beyond trading as customers are shifting to other use cases such as payments, savings etc.

The company is successfully delivering on its promises by bringing down operating expenses and achieving efficiency to do more with less. COIN expects transaction expenses to be in the mid-teens as a percentage of net revenues.

This company is expected to post quarterly loss of $0.53 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +78.2%. Revenues are expected to be $652.84 million, up 10.6% from the year-ago quarter.
