                        Coinbase just had a huge third quarter—revenue shot up 55% to $1.9 billion, beating Wall Street's expectations. 
 This boost came as crypto prices hit new highs and more people jumped into trading. 
 Net income also climbed to $433 million, way up from last year.
Derivatives and stablecoins drive the momentum
A big part of the momentum came from Coinbase's push into derivatives and stablecoins. Their recent Deribit acquisition added $52 million in revenue, with options trading volumes soaring. 
 Altogether, Coinbase and Deribit handled over $840 billion in derivatives trades this quarter. Stablecoin activity brought in another $354 million.
