COIN reports Q2 in early August. The trading-line headline will get the cable-news clip, but it is not the line the market is paying for. Three other lines move the stock.
First: subscription & services. Custody fees and earn revenue are now $300M+ a quarter. Second: USDC float income. Coinbase keeps 100% of float interest on USDC held on its own platform. Third: Base. The L2 generated $58M of sequencer revenue in Q1.
