ETFs in Spotlight as Coinbase Shares Slip Despite Upbeat Q3 Earnings
Read MoreHide Full Article
Shares of Coinbase Global, Inc. ((COIN - Free Report) ) gained 4.6% on Oct. 31, following the company’s better-than-expected third-quarter 2025 results, backed by solid trading volume. However, the stock failed to maintain this upbeat momentum and slipped 3.9% on Nov. 3, most likely due to the Ethereum-based decentralized finance protocol Balancer suffering a multi-million-dollar hack.
This pullback presents an opportune moment for investors interested in Coinbase to consider exchange-traded funds (ETFs) with significant exposure to the stock. This approach would allow investors to capture potential upside while mitigating company-specific risks that could severely impact profits during times of unprecedented crisis.
But before diving straight into these ETFs, let us check Coinbase’s overall performance in the third quarter, in terms of other metrics.
A Brief Analysis of COIN’s Q3 Results
Coinbase’s third-quarter earnings and revenues comfortably surpassed their respective Zacks Consensus Estimate. On a year-over-year basis, the company delivered improved performance on both counts. While its earnings surged a solid 128.6%, revenues grew 55.1% on the back of strong product execution.
Segment-wise, revenues grew across both its Transaction and Subscription & Services units. While solid trading volume and the resultant increase in instant transfer activity bolstered the top-line growth in the Transaction segment, strong native unit inflows boosted the Subscription & Services unit’s revenues.
Coinbase ended the third quarter with cash outflow from operating activities worth $638.8 million against cash inflow worth $1.59 billion in the year-ago period.
In August 2025, COIN closed the Deribit acquisition, bringing the number one crypto options venue into Coinbase. Following this, Coinbase witnessed more than $840 billion in total derivatives volume in the third quarter, driven by stronger participation from institutions and advanced traders.
Moreover, in the third quarter, Coinbase customers held on average, $15 billion of USDC on the platform, making COIN the largest contributor to USDC’s all-time high $74 billion market cap (as mentioned in the company’s third-quarter earnings call transcript).
Looking ahead, Coinbase expects its subscription and services revenue growth in the fourth quarter of 2025 to be driven by higher average crypto prices and continued expansion of the Coinbase One subscriber base.
On the expense side, the company expects its total depreciation and amortization expenses to be higher than historical averages during the October-December quarter, on account of amortization of intangibles from its recent acquisitions.
