Background on Coinbase Global, Inc.
Coinbase Global, Inc. is an American company that operates a cryptocurrency exchange platform for buying, selling, transferring, and storing cryptocurrency.
The Securities Fraud Claims
Complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and misleading statements regarding the Company's business, operations, and prospects including that: (i) in 2020, after investigation, the United Kingdom's Financial Conduct Authority ("FCA") had deemed inadequate the efforts by the Company's British unit, CB Payments Limited ("CBPL"), to prevent criminals from using its platform; (ii) as a result, the FCA reached an agreement with the CBPL, which put requirements in place that were designed to prevent high-risk customers from using CBPL's platform; (iii) CBPL then breached that agreement, which resulted in 13,416 high-risk individuals receiving services; and (iv) as a result of the foregoing the Company had an undisclosed heightened regulatory risk.
On July 25, 2024, the FCA issued a press release titled "FCA Takes First Enforcement Action Against Firm Enabling Crypto Asset Trading." The press release announced a £3,503,546 fine imposed on CBPL for persistent breaches of regulations prohibiting the firm from serving high-risk customers. On this news, the price of Coinbase common stock fell $13.52 per share, or 5.52%, to close at $231.52 on July 25, 2024.
