Despite the exchange posting a 300% revenue increase from the second quarter, analysts at S&P Capital IQ had projected $1.58 billion in revenue.
The trading volume dropped 29% to $327 billion from the second quarter, with the retail monthly transacting users falling to 7.4 million from 8.8 million in the second quarter. MTUs were 2.1 million in the third quarter of last year.
The net income stood at $406 million against $380 million estimates. Coinbase had $81 million net income in the third quarter of last year and $1.6 billion in the second quarter of this year.
