NEGATIVE IMPACT
Coinbase reported strong Q1 earnings with revenue and net income surpassing estimates, significant contributions from Bitcoin and Ethereum trading, and a notable increase in developer activity on its Layer 2 platform, Base. Despite the positive report, shares fell 3.25% in after-hours trading.
Despite surpassing revenue and earnings estimates, the immediate negative reaction in after-hours trading suggests investors may have anticipated even stronger results or are reacting to other market factors. The drop in share price post-earnings indicates a short-term negative impact.
