Coinbase also posted a net income of $273 million for the quarter, compared to a loss of $557 million in the same period of last year.

The company’s shares rose by more than 6% in after hours trading to $177.44 as of 4:30 p.m. ET, according to Yahoo Finance. Coinbase shares have risen by more than 150% in the last year.

The cryptocurrency trading platform also generated $529.3 million in transaction revenue during the quarter. That’s up from $288.6 million in the third quarter.

Fourth-quarter “transaction revenue surged 83% Q/Q to $529 million, primarily driven by higher levels of volatility and crypto asset prices,” the company also said in its statement. “We saw a sharp increase in crypto asset volatility … the increases were driven by a variety of factors, principally excitement around Bitcoin spot ETF approvals and broad expectations around improving macroeconomic conditions in 2024.”
