Coinbase reported a net loss of $360 million in the second quarter, marking its third consecutive quarterly loss, while transaction revenue fell 21% year over year to $599 million. The company linked the weaker performance to a prolonged downturn in the cryptocurrency market. Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong said he was "quite optimistic" that the Clarity Act could pass a Senate vote, putting a regulatory development alongside an otherwise weak earnings update. The report, cited by Business Times, also said analysts see tokenized stocks and perpetual futures as potential offsets to slowing spot trading, though Coinbase is viewed as trailing in those segments. Separately, the company said an alliance including Visa and Mastercard launched a joint stablecoin in June with the aim of expanding stablecoin adoption.
