This surge was primarily driven by increased volatility in the digital asset market, leading to increased trading activity across platforms.
Trading revenue reached $1.05 billion, up from $573 million in the same period last year, highlighting the continued impact of market fluctuations on foreign exchange revenues.
Trading volume and Bitcoin accumulation
In the third quarter, Coinbase benefited from increased market activity as traders sought opportunities amid rapid price fluctuations in Bitcoin and other major cryptocurrencies. The exchange also expanded its Bitcoin holdings by $299 million through weekly purchases, bringing the total to 14,548 BTC. The strategy reflects the growing trend of major cryptocurrency companies to hold large reserves of digital assets, both as a hedge and as a sign of confidence in Bitcoin’s long-term potential.
