Coinbase Global (COIN - Free Report) reported solid fourth-quarter 2024 results on Feb. 13, after the closing bell. It surpassed estimates on both earnings and revenues, benefiting from higher trading volumes in Bitcoin and other digital tokens following the U.S. election. The biggest U.S. cryptocurrency exchange logged the highest quarterly revenues in three years.
Coinbase shares jumped as much as 2% in after-market hours trading after the earnings release. Investors seeking to tap the robust results should buy ETFs with double-digit exposure to this largest U.S. cryptocurrency exchange. These include First Trust SkyBridge Crypto Industry & Digital Economy ETF (CRPT - Free Report) , Global X Blockchain ETF (BKCH - Free Report) , Fidelity Crypto Industry and Digital Payments ETF (FDIG - Free Report) , ARK 21Shares Blockchain and Digital Economy Innovation ETF (ARKD - Free Report) and ARK Fintech Innovation ETF (ARKF - Free Report) .
Coinbase's earnings per share were $4.68, which surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.94 and improved from the year-ago earnings of $1.04. Revenues jumped 88% from the previous quarter and 138% year over year to $2.27 billion and beat the consensus estimate of $1.73 billion. The robust results were driven by rising trading activity and a shift in the regulatory landscape (read: Bitcoin ETFs Brimming With Inflows Amid Tariff Turmoil).
Trading volume spiked 185% year over year to $439 billion, driven by retail trades. Consumer trading volume skyrocketed 224%, while institutional trading rose 176% from the year-ago quarter. Total transaction revenues more than doubled from the year-ago period to $1.56 billion, while subscription and services revenues climbed to $641 million.
In the first quarter of 2025, Coinbase expects transaction revenues of about $750 million through Feb. 11, with subscription and services revenues projected to be between $685 million and $765 million.
Coinbase is upbeat about its future growth, calling the latest regulatory shifts under the Trump administration the “dawn of a new era for crypto.” The company says it will “double down on what we’ve always focused on: building,” with plans to boost stablecoin adoption, grow its layer-2 network Base and expand crypto payments.
