Result Drivers
Client transitions and industry softness - Co said revenue decline was due to previously disclosed client transitions and industry-wide softness in digital asset trading volumes
Integration costs - Higher operating expenses reflected two months of acquired DTR operating costs and professional-services expenses supporting the DTR integration and India strategy
Lower crypto services revenue - Wider adjusted EBITDA loss was mainly due to a decrease in crypto services revenue net of related costs, higher salaries and contract labor, and a loss from an equity method investment
