Two Questions That Matter

The print will turn on these two things.

What is the expected trading volume for Q2-2026?

Trading volume directly impacts revenue, and any significant changes could influence market sentiment.

How many new users did Coinbase acquire in the last quarter?

User acquisition is critical for growth, and a strong number could boost confidence in Coinbase's market position.

Edge

What the Street Is Missing

Why consensus could be wrong

The Street may underestimate the potential for user growth and trading volume recovery, especially if market conditions stabilize.

Supporting Evidence

Options are pricing a 7.12% move, indicating expectations of volatility that may not materialize.

The recent strong EPS surprises suggest that Coinbase could continue to outperform expectations.

Historical trends show that Coinbase has a solid track record of beating EPS estimates.

Key Risk

If trading volume comes in below $25 billion, it could undermine the positive narrative.

Edge

Thesis-Break Levels

Pre-commit to what would confirm each case.

The core debate this quarter revolves around user engagement and trading activity in a fluctuating market.

Bull Confirmed If

User growth exceeding 5 million and trading volume surpassing $30 billion would confirm the bull case.

Bear Confirmed If

A decline in trading volume below $25 billion would support the bear case.
