Company beats forecasts, but shares fall as crypto plunge continues

3 min read

Bullish (BLSH), the crypto trading platform and parent company of CoinDesk, reported $92.5 million in adjusted revenue in the fourth quarter, topping forecasts for $87.8 million.

Adjusted EPS of $0.19 was ahead of consensus $0.15.

On a GAAP basis, the company lost $3.73 a share, citing non-cash digital-asset remeasurement losses.

Bullish started spot crypto trading in the U.S. in September, marking its entry into a tightly regulated and competitive market. The platform saw $64.3 billion in spot trading volume during the quarter.

It also launched an options-trading business as part of a broader push to diversify its offerings. The new business line generated $9 billion in options trading volume for the quarter.

Bullish shares fell about 5% during normal trading hours, while bitcoin dropped more than 7% in the last 24 hours, trading below $70,000. Other crypto stocks, such as Coinbase (COIN), dropped 8% on Thursday, and Strategy (MSTR) declined 12%.

“We are more convicted than ever that our institutional positioning is the right approach at the right time,” Bullish CEO Tom Farley said on the company’s call discussing earnings. “We expect that Bullish can and will thrive in 2026 despite a rough macro beginning to the year for our industry.”

Bullish went public on the New York Stock Exchange in August through a direct listing. The company had previously operated as a private exchange focused on institutional clients.

Compass Point’s Ed Engel said Bullish’s earnings were “strong,” but that early 2025 trading data shows signs of weakness, particularly in January, with revenue down 17% month-over-month and 32% below the Q4 average, according to Engel.

Despite the slowdown, he noted that Bullish’s 2026 guidance for Subscriptions, Services & Other (SS&O) revenue came in slightly above expectations, signaling more resilience than other crypto firms. However, without quarterly revenue or EBITDA guidance, and with trading income pacing below Street estimates, near-term visibility remains limited. Engel maintained a Neutral rating on the stock and put his $35 price target under review, citing macro crypto volatility and valuation concerns.

Oppenheimer analyst Owen Lau echoed that view, acknowledging that the company reported a strong fourth quarter, driven by better-than-expected growth in its SS&O segment. He added that 2026 guidance points to continued momentum, with SS&O revenue expected to grow nearly 50% at the midpoint and operating expenses coming in below his forecast.

332M accounts and $28B TVL,

The post 332M accounts and $28B TVL, appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. PayPal USD debuts on TRON as a permissionless token PYUSD0, enabled by LayerZero’s OFT standard and the Stargate Hydra extension. The announcement on September 18, 2025 (Geneva) introduces native interoperability between chains and transfers without manual steps for users; the news echoes elements already communicated by PayPal at the launch of PYUSD PayPal Newsroom. The move concerns an ecosystem that includes 332 million accounts and over $28 billion in TVL. In this context, the fungibility of a stablecoin regulated across multiple networks and the use of TRON as a settlement layer for payments and remittances is at stake. According to the data collected by TRONSCAN updated as of September 18, 2025, the network metrics confirm the cited volumes and highlighted traffic patterns. Our editorial team has verified the transaction logs and monitored the public chain metrics to corroborate the reported figures; the observations on daily flows and TVL are consistent with the network dashboards. Industry analysts observe that the entry of a regulated issuer like PayPal tends to increase institutional interest, provided there is transparency on reserves and compliance checks. What is PYUSD0 on TRON and why is it relevant PYUSD0 is the representation of PayPal USD on TRON. It is pegged one-to-one to PYUSD through the OFT standard: the two tokens remain a single stablecoin, fungible and reconciled across chains. The integration is made possible by Stargate Hydra, now operational through LayerZero. According to the founder of TRON, Justin Sun, the extension on TRON expands access and trust for users and institutions. For Bryan Pellegrino (CEO of LayerZero Labs), stablecoins represent a pillar of global payments and remittances, as the native compatibility between chains enables their operational scalability. It must be said that the alignment between issuer, cross-chain infrastructure, and settlement network is a key element. Key Numbers: TRON…
