What’s Next: Coinbase is guiding for second quarter subscription and services revenue to be around $300 million. The company said its second-quarter subscription and services revenue will be lower due to the market capitalization of USDC USDC/USD.
The company said the cryptocurrency market remains highly volatile, and the recent events around disruptions in the banking sector and regulatory uncertainty make it hard to predict future results.
“While we can’t predict the outcome of these events, we continue to focus on our cost reduction efforts and to operate towards our goal of improving Adjusted EBITDA in absolute dollar terms versus full-year 2022,” the company said.
