Positive Outlook
- Q3 subscription and services revenue to be at least $300 million.
- The company aims to improve full-year 2023 Adjusted EBITDA in absolute dollar terms versus full-year 2022.
- Technology & development and general & administrative expenses is expected to be higher in Q3 driven primarily by an increase in stock-based compensation.
- Sales and marketing expenses to be consistent with Q2, as the seasonal decline of spend tied to our NBA partnership is offset by increased USDC customer reward payouts driven by both higher on platform balances and higher reward rates.
- No material changes to assets on platform or average crypto market capitalization compared to the end of July.
Challenges Ahead
- The crypto industry remains volatile, as evidenced by ongoing uncertainty in the regulatory environment.
- Transaction revenue in July, we continue to urge caution in extrapolating these results.
- Retail customers in those states will not be able to stake additional funds.
- We do not expect a material impact from this action in Q3.
- Magnitude of future efficiency gains will likely moderate going forward.
