Bullish Crypto Exchange Posts Stellar Q2 Earnings in NYSE Debut Showcase
Bullish, the cryptocurrency exchange, has shattered expectations with its inaugural earnings report since going public. The platform reported $0.93 earnings per share, dramatically outpacing the $0.03 analyst consensus. A $108.3 million net income marks a stark reversal from last year's $116.4 million loss.
Trading volume surged to $179.6 billion, up from $133 billion year-over-year, signaling robust market activity. The exchange's recent BitLicense approval now positions it as a key player in New York's regulated crypto market. Shares currently trade at $53.54, reflecting a 44% premium to its $37 IPO price.
While adjusted revenue dipped slightly to $57 million from $60.7 million, the overall performance demonstrates the exchange's growing dominance in digital asset markets. The results arrive as institutional interest in cryptocurrency trading reaches new highs.
