Revenue from consumer transactions topped $935 million, surging by 99% quarter on quarter. Trading volume totaled $56 billion, up 93% in the quarter, outperforming the United States spot market, which increased 91% over the same period.


Institutional transactions were also up during the quarter, generating revenue of $85 million, representing a 133% increase quarter on quarter. According to the exchange, trading volume on its platform for institutional clients, Coinbase Prime, grew 105% to $256 billion, also outperforming the U.S. spot market.“Our institutional platform, Coinbase Prime, hit all-time highs in trading volume and the number of active clients in Q1. [...] The bitcoin ETFs – combined with strong market conditions in Q1 – unlocked a flywheel of customer engagement across this more robust product suite. In fact, nearly 40% of institutional clients engaged with at least 3 products in Q1.”


The exchange also posted a 64% jump in revenue from custodial services, reaching $32 million in the first quarter, primarily driven by crypto assets prices and revenue from Bitcoin ETFs. The exchange serves as a custodian for eight of the 11 newly launched BTC funds. Assets under Coinbase’s custody closed the quarter at $171 billion.
