“Our Q3 range reflects some modest headwinds, including a 3% decline in the average price of Ethereum in July as compared to the Q2 average, expectations of a September rate cut, an increase in expenses related to USDC as we work to drive global adoption of USDC as the most compliant stablecoin, and a one-time $8M blockchain rewards revenue benefit in Q2,” the company said in a letter to shareholders.
