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.
