Coinbase Global Inc. reported its Q3 earnings this week. Analysts were expecting earnings to take a dip during Q3, which turned out to be incorrect. The pro-forma earnings per share is seven times higher than it was in Q3 last year.
Coinbase is only expected to grow, as higher prices tend to lead to more users which, in turn, causes higher prices. The executive director at crypto hedge fund ARK36, Mikkel Morch, wrote that a $70,000 price for bitcoin now “seems imminent.” JPMorgan has reiterated its prediction that bitcoin would eventually reach $146,000, hitting $73,000 this year.
