Digital asset exchange Coinbase released its Q1 2024 earnings report posting better-than-expected profits on the back of improved activity. A key feature of the release was that revenues doubled to $1.58 billion year-over-over showing a strong performance in the last three months. 

The report of huge growth from Coinbase and other publicly listed firms has led to speculations on the rest of the year should macroeconomic factors and other indices flip green. A notable reason for the soaring revenues of Coinbase and crypto firms is the uptick in Bitcoin’s price. 

In Q1 2024, Bitcoin price hit a new all-time high above $72,000 following the approval of spot Bitcoin ETFs in the United States. This led to an increase in altcoins, memecoin, and decentralized finance (DeFi) numbers. 

What’s In For Crypto Assets?

A majority of crypto commentators say improved figures from Coinbase at a time when the market is in a recovery mood is good for the crypto assets. The result can spur more VC funding to crypto firms that need to revamp offerings around the ecosystem. 

More funds in circulation can boost community participation through airdrops leading to better numbers. The last two weeks have seen plunging sentiments and high liquidation resulting in low prices. If Coinbase and other crypto firms can garner a positive outlook, it will spark a rise in crypto assets in Q2 2024. 

At press time, Bitcoin trades at $59,284, a 1.25% increase in the last 24 hours. Generally, crypto assets have reacted positively to Coinbase and other firms showing positive Q1 results.
