Coinbase Germany Warned After Audit
The latest statement from the German authorities adds to several investigations faced by the crypto exchange across various jurisdictions. BaFin said it found organizational deficiencies in the company, although it is not clear as to which aspect it concerns. It indicated that the business organization was not consistent across all areas that went under the audit. The Federal Financial Supervisory Authority issued a statement saying the order was issued on September 27, 2022.
“An audit of the annual financial statements revealed organizational deficiencies at the institute. The regularity of the business organization was not given in all audited areas.”
Europe Expansion Plans

Coinbase is currently awaiting regulatory license approval in France and Spain. On the other side, the crypto exchange laid off thousands of employees in the U.S. earlier in the year.
