What Happened?
Shares of blockchain infrastructure company Coinbase (NASDAQ:COIN) fell 15.3% in the morning session after the company reported disappointing second-quarter financial results that fell short of Wall Street's expectations.
The crypto exchange announced second-quarter revenue of $1.5 billion, which missed analyst forecasts. A significant 39% drop in transaction revenue from the previous quarter drove the miss, a signal that trading activity on the platform slowed. The company also delivered a disappointing outlook for its subscription revenue.
Adding to the pressure, the broader market faltered after a weak U.S. jobs report and the announcement of new trade tariffs rattled investor confidence. In response to the poor results, analysts at Barclays trimmed their price target, while Monness Crespi & Hardt downgraded the stock's rating.

What Is The Market Telling Us
Coinbase’s shares are extremely volatile and have had 63 moves greater than 5% over the last year. But moves this big are rare even for Coinbase and indicate this news significantly impacted the market’s perception of the business.
The previous big move we wrote about was 2 days ago when the stock gained 3.6% on the news that it announced a strategic partnership with JPMorgan Chase to make cryptocurrency more accessible to the bank's customers.
The collaboration with JPMorgan Chase was set to introduce several features aimed at making cryptocurrency purchases more accessible. The partnership planned to allow a direct bank-to-wallet connection and let customers transfer Chase Ultimate Rewards points to their Coinbase accounts, with 100 points equaling $1. Additionally, the agreement included provisions for customers to fund their Coinbase accounts using Chase credit cards, a feature expected to launch in the fall of 2025. This move was significant as it represented a major step in bridging traditional banking with the digital asset space, potentially opening up a large new customer base for Coinbase. The positive market reaction was also supported by recent bullish analyst sentiment, including a price target increase from Citigroup.
Coinbase is up 25.2% since the beginning of the year, but at $322.15 per share, it is still trading 23.3% below its 52-week high of $419.78 from July 2025. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of Coinbase’s shares at the IPO in April 2021 would now be looking at an investment worth $981.31.
