Coinbase Stock Fell 45% as Crypto Trading Volume Dried Up After October’s Liquidations
Coinbase Global (COIN) stock lost 45% over the past year as crypto trading activity weakened following the October 2025 liquidation event, alongside broader risk-off conditions and unusually low volatility. Q2 revenue reached $1.22 billion, yet the company still booked a net loss of $359.5 million, its third straight after $667 million in Q4 and $394.1 million in Q1.
CFO Alesia Haas laid out the cause at the Goldman Sachs Communacopia conference on September 9: “In addition to that one-time event, we saw broader macro risk-off mindset. We saw all-time low volatility. We just saw as a result, less trading volume in the crypto space.” Trading volume dropped 20% quarter over quarter in Q2, she said. Diversification softened some of the impact. Bitcoin spot trading now makes up just over 10% of revenue, against more than 50% at the IPO, and subscription and services revenue runs at $2.5 billion annualized.
Profit pressure followed the volume. Adjusted EBITDA slid from $566 million in Q4 to $303.3 million in Q1, and on May 5 CEO Brian Armstrong cut headcount by about 14%. Haas now holds 2026 expenses roughly flat to 2025, excluding USDC rewards.
That volume decline contributed to three straight net losses and came alongside a 14% staff reduction as Coinbase moved to cut costs and operate more efficiently with AI.
Coinbase Stock Rebounded 28% Off Its June Close as Street Targets Fell 45%
Coinbase stock closed at $337 on September 30, 2025, sank to $146 by June 30, 2026 (57% below that level), then recovered to $186 as bitcoin touched a seven-month high in September. Haas said at Goldman that conditions have improved since Q2, but the reported quarters still carry the damage.
The Street counts 19 buys, 4 outperforms, 12 holds, 1 underperform and 1 sell. The mean target of $206 sits 11% above the $186 close but 45% below the $376 mean from a year ago, with targets spanning $95 to $330. KBW resumed coverage on September 29 with an outperform rating and a $237 target.
