Business Tailwinds
Coinbase Global is likely to gain from the increased adoption of a greater number of crypto assets, higher volatility and a rise in interest across the entire crypto economy.
Transaction revenues, a major component of COIN’s total revenues, are expected to increase due to enhanced consumer trading volumes. Higher interest income, growing blockchain rewards and increased custodial fees for Coinbase Global are likely to drive subscription and service revenues. The company expects subscription and services revenues to be around $334.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2023. COIN expects meaningful positive adjusted EBITDA in 2023.
The company is successfully delivering on its promises by bringing down operating expenses and achieving efficiency to do more with less. Total expenses were down 4% year over year in the third quarter. COIN expects transaction expenses to be in the mid-teens as a percentage of net revenues.
COIN believes revenue diversification is a means to grow in the long term so that one macro event does not affect all revenue streams. It launched the International Exchange to venture into derivatives markets and is also expanding to new markets, like Canada, Brazil and Singapore. The company is also expecting to grow its subscription and service revenues through the acquisition of One River Asset Management, helping it venture into the asset management business. It launched a new Layer 2 solution in the third quarter, which will help the company contain its costs and increase efficiency.
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.
Improved transactional revenues coupled with subscription and service segments’ revenues are likely to drive the top line of COIN. An increase in both the average crypto asset prices and total crypto spot market volumes should drive the overall trading volume of COIN.
Key Concerns
