Bullish started its U.S. spot trading business in September after receiving a BitLicense from New York regulators. It debuted crypto options with 14 trading partners, and five of the six recently introduced U.S. crypto exchange-traded products (ETPs) were based on CoinDesk Indexes. The firm doubled its liquidity services partnerships compared with the prior quarter.

“Our recently launched options product has already surpassed $1 billion in trading volume and quarter-to-date spot trading volume is up 77% from Q3,” said CFO David Bonanno said in the statement. “We feel confident that our diversified business model will deliver sustained, profitable growth.”

While overall digital asset sales declined year-over-year, the company saw record revenue from its subscription, services and other (SS&O) business line. The firm recorded $28.6 million in adjusted Ebitda, compared with $7.7 million in the same quarter last year.

For the fourth quarter, Bullish said it expects subscription, services and other revenue of $47 million-$53 million.

Shares of the company rose more than 2% in pre-market trading.
