Coinbase missed Q1 2026 revenue estimates (reported ~$1.41B vs. ~$1.48–1.52B expected), with a net loss of ~$394M (~$1.49/share), driven primarily by a crypto market slump.
Coinbase and Circle have a long-standing, deep partnership. They co-launched USDC in 2018 via the Centre Consortium (later dissolved). Coinbase took an equity stake in Circle (holds millions of shares, valued at ~$1.6B+ at times) and they maintain a commercial/reseller agreement
In summary, USDC is a strategic hedge against pure trading volatility providing recurring, interest-driven revenue and a growth lever via Coinbase’s massive user base and products. Management highlighted stablecoin momentum even in the weak Q1
