Coinbase stock sinks pre market as SEC announces to investigate exchange

July 26, 2022

Crypto exchange Coinbase’s stock dropped over 7% in pre market after SEC announced to investigate the crypto exchange.

The US watchdog has launched a probe into exchange for allegedly offering securities on its platform.

Earlier, the SEC accused a former Coinbase employee and two other people of insider trading practices.

Coinbase denied allegations of listing securities on its platforms in a blog post titled, “Coinbase does not list securities. End of story.”

Coinbase stocks are expected to fall further once the market opens.

Analysts noted that the market’s assessment of digital assets’ future will determine their price in the present.

Change in the outlook of the crypto industry relative to what is already expected will bring changes to prices.
