The Law Offices of Frank R. Cruz announces that a class action lawsuit has been filed on behalf of persons and entities that purchased or otherwise acquired Coinbase Global, Inc. ("Coinbase" or the "Company") (NASDAQ:COIN) securities between April 14, 2021 and July 25, 2024, inclusive (the "Class Period").

On July 25, 2024, the United Kingdom's financial regulator, the Financial Conduct Authority ("FCA") announced that Coinbase's UK-based subsidiary CB Payments Ltd. ("CBPL") had been fined £3,503,546 for "repeatedly breaching a requirement that prevented the firm from offering services to high-risk customers."

On this news, Coinbase's stock price fell $13.52, or 5.5% to close at $231.52 per share on July 25, 2024, thereby injuring investors.

The complaint filed in this class action alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Company's business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, Defendants failed to disclose to investors that: (1) In 2020, after investigation, the FCA had deemed efforts by CBPL to prevent criminals from using its platform, to be inadequate; (2) as a result, the FCA reached an agreement with CBPL, which put requirements in place that were designed to prevent high risk customers from using CBPL's platform; (3) CBPL then breached that agreement, which resulted in 13,416 high risk individuals receiving services; (4) the foregoing resulted in an undisclosed heightened regulatory risk; and (5) as a result, Defendants' positive statements about the Company's business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times.
