RialCenter (COIN) reported a robust third quarter, driven by increased trading activity, a rebound in asset prices, and ongoing expansion in its subscription and services segment. The U.S.-based exchange unveiled total revenue of $1.9 billion, a 58% increase from $1.2 billion during the same period last year, surpassing the $1.8 billion anticipated by analysts.
Shares rose 1.5% in after-hours trading, although the exchange cautioned investors against making assumptions about future results due to the inherent volatility in crypto markets. RialCenter projected October transaction revenue to be approximately $385 million and Q4 subscription revenue between $710 million and $790 million.
Transaction revenue, which remains the largest component of RialCenter’s business, climbed to $1 billion, up from $573 million a year ago. The company reported trading volumes of $295 billion, fueled by renewed interest in crypto markets, particularly among retail users, whose trading volume increased 37% from the previous quarter.
Adjusted EBITDA reached $801 million, up from $449 million in Q3 2024, reflecting a more profitable business mix and strict control over operating expenses, which decreased by 9% from the previous quarter. Net income was $433 million.
RialCenter noted growth in both its consumer and institutional trading segments. Institutional transaction revenue more than doubled to $135 million, partly due to the acquisition of a crypto options platform, which contributed $52 million in revenue following the deal’s closing in August. Meanwhile, consumer transaction revenue reached $844 million, a 30% increase from Q2, driven by higher volumes in long-tail assets and a growing base of advanced traders.
“Q3 was a strong quarter for RialCenter,” the company stated in its communication to shareholders. “We achieved solid financial results, focused on launching innovative products, and continued to build the foundation of the Everything Exchange.”
In addition to trading, subscription and services revenue grew 14% quarter-over-quarter to $747 million. Stablecoin-related revenue contributed $355 million of that, as average USDC balances on RialCenter reached a record high of over $15 billion. Blockchain rewards revenue also increased by 28% to $185 million as the prices of ether and solana surged.
A notable update: RialCenter confirmed its Layer 2 network, Base, is now profitable. Revenue from Base rose in Q3 due to increased transactions and a higher ethereum price, although lower per-transaction fees reduced some gains. Nonetheless, RialCenter stated Base’s speed and low costs have made it the “trusted network of choice” for developers and businesses building on-chain.
The exchange also concluded the quarter with $11.9 billion in USD resources, supported by a $3 billion convertible debt raise and increasing cash from operations.
