What Will Coinbase’s Earnings Call Reveal?

Bloomberg Crypto

The end of Sam Bankman-Fried’s empire created a contagion effect especially felt by crypto exchanges, like publicly-traded Coinbase. In early January, the exchange settled with New York regulators who accused it of “significant” compliance program failings.

Coinbase agreed to pay a $50 million dollar fine and set aside $50 million more to improve its compliance practices.

Ahead of its earnings report, CEO Brian Armstrong says Coinbase revenue will likely drop by half or more this year. And the picture may be equally dim for other global exchanges.

Crypto senior editors Philip Lagerkranser and Anna Irrera are joined by Bloomberg reporter Yueqi Yang to talk through the latest.
