Risks management discussed

  • Financial: The company reported an unrealized loss on digital assets, which management tied to the year-over-year change in net income. Source
  • Financial: Management said margins were hit by lower spot trading spreads and a lower derivatives mix, even as volume increased. Source
  • Demand: Management cited client mix and lower take rates as pressure on staking margins, despite higher institutional staking activity. Source
  • Operational: Spot trading revenue is booked gross and derivatives revenue net, so changes in product mix can meaningfully change reported revenue and margin. Source

Earlier plans management reported on

  • Met: The prior release expected stock-based compensation to normalize from Q1 2026 levels. This release says lower compensation reflected normalization of IPO-related stock-based compensation. Source
  • Not stated: Management said converting existing custody and wallet relationships into recurring, multi-product revenue is its priority. No timing was given. Source
