Q3 Revenue: 1.869B, The main sources of error came from being 4% off in retail to institutional percentage, and being off in both retail and institutional take rates. These figures are rather difficult to find and require assumptions which I honestly butchered oops.

Vanderbilt has put itself on the map as one of the top blockchain clubs, with alumni spanning across Coinbase, Galaxy, Artemis, and much more! @VandyBlockchain recruited over 60 members in the fall and they aim to bring 40 members to MBC on December Dec 5-6th! Insane numbers.

Also, shoutout to @kevinlhr88 for writing a very comprehensive Q2 revenue report, which inspired/reversed engineered a few of my methods. His report can be found here:
research.artemisanalytics.com
Our analyst Kevin Li estimates Coinbase’s Q2 revenue at $1.495 billion which is -6.2% vs. the Street estimate of $1.594 billion, using publicly available blockchain data.

Again this is not financial advice, but in addition to puts, you can trade under on https://t.co/fTW8XP0hsU and https://t.co/IUq4lbheQP. Note that revenue doesn’t directly translate into earnings.

Significant increase in other sources of revenue: I estimated a significant increase in Base fee revenue, Blockchain Rewards (staking), and other subscription and services revenue (23.1%, 30.9%, 15% respectively). This is likely from the bull market this quarter.

Trading volume from institutional transactions: Due to the prevalence in Digital Asset Treasuries, I estimated a higher proportion of institutional to retail trading volume (up 2% QoQ). Note that roughly 40% of Coinbase’s revenue comes from retail trading making this significant

Using a mix of onchain data and past trend, I predicted Coinbase Q3 revenue at 1.687 billion (up ~12.7% qoq) compared to Wall Street’s 1.77 billion (~5% difference).
