- Gross Transaction Value (GTV) grew 13% year-over-year, surpassing $10 billion for the first time.
- Revenue increased 14% year-over-year, breaking the $1 billion quarterly revenue threshold.
- Management highlighted improvements in marketplace features and AI integration to enhance customer experience.
