Coinbase to Lay Off More Workers in Second Round of Cuts
January 10 2023 - 07:42AM
Dow Jones News
By Will Feuer

Coinbase Global Inc. said it is laying off 950 employees to cut costs, another round of job cuts after the cryptocurrency exchange cut its headcount by about 18% last year

In a blog post published Tuesday, Coinbase Chief Executive Brian Armstrong said the crypto industry has been hit by "fallout from unscrupulous actors." He warned that "there could still be further contagion."

"We need to make sure we have the appropriate operational efficiency to weather downturns in the crypto market, and capture opportunities that may emerge," he said.

As of the end of September, Coinbase had about 4,700 employees, up almost 70% from a year earlier, according to a shareholder letter. The latest round of layoffs would affect about 20% of staff, based on that count.

Mr. Armstrong acknowledged the company's round of layoffs in 2022.

"In hindsight, we could have cut further at that time," he said. "While some of the factors that have brought us to this point are beyond our control, accountability rests with me as the CEO."

The company expects operating costs to fall by about 25% from a year ago in the quarter ending March 31, Coinbase said in a securities filing. The company said it expects to incur about $149 million to $163 million as part of a restructuring plan meant to cut costs.

Mr. Armstrong said the company will exit some projects that "have a lower probability of success," and that teams on other projects will continue to operate with fewer employees.

The company remains well capitalized, Mr. Armstrong said, "and crypto isn't going anywhere."

"Over the last decade, Coinbase has made it through multiple bear markets using this process," he said. "This is the first time we've seen a crypto cycle coincide with a broader economic downturn, but otherwise it is similar."...

Or it can make you more than 4K. But thanks for sharing your insights.

[shajandr]

A 4K investment can lose 4K in this turd,

[lilLu]

A 4k investment rn could return a quarter million in a few years. If we drop under 10 bucks, 4k is now worth near a milly as we ride btc's ascension wave to a milly, which WILL HAPPEN. That million dollar ppc is coming. Make no mistake. This is all coordinated. Planned and strategic. I plan on buying more, but not today. We're headed lower.
BUY TO HOLD!
COIN!

[lilLu]

Here's a slightly more positive article, amongst the nonsense out there.
https://www.tipranks.com/news/article/could-coinbase-nasdaqcoin-be-the-next-ftx
Anyone that reads the quarterly knows CB is still in a very healthy/ liquid, position. As closely aligned as our pps and btc's ppc are, even if we both shed another 70%, we're still not delisted. For a CEX, this is a great time for us to gain the trust of the market and crypto whales. As a publicly traded company, the Financials are transparent. Unlike, Celsius, FTX, Gemini, etc. Even in the event of a delisting, the exchange itself is still healthy and fully operational. When btc hits 1M$, we'll be around $2,500 or so.
BUY TO HOLD!
NOT TO FLIP!
COIN!

Jim Chanos Doubles Down On Coinbase Criticism: 'It Just Doesn't Work'

American investment manager and famed short seller Jim Chanos doubled down on his criticism of Coinbase Global, Inc (NASDAQ: COIN) during an interview with Srivatsan Prakash on Monday.

Chanos outlined why he believes Coinbase’s business model doesn’t work and why he believes the cryptocurrency exchange may eventually fall victim to other well-known brokerages.

"Coinbase has a business model problem. It just doesn’t work,” he said.

Crypto Brokerage Genesis Is Said to Warn of Bankruptcy Without Funding
Mon, November 21, 2022 at 4:26 PM

(Bloomberg) -- Digital-asset brokerage Genesis is struggling to raise fresh cash for its lending unit, and it’s warning potential investors that it may need to file for bankruptcy if its efforts fail, according to people with knowledge of the matter.

Genesis has spent the past several days seeking at least $1 billion in fresh capital, said the people, who asked not to be identified because discussions are private. That included talks over a potential investment from crypto exchange Binance, they said, but funding so far has failed to materialize.

The rush for funding was precipitated by a liquidity crunch at the lender after the sudden collapse of FTX, one of the world’s largest crypto exchanges. Genesis halted redemptions shortly after revealing on Nov. 10 that it had $175 million locked in an FTX trading account.

“We have no plans to file bankruptcy imminently,” a representative for Genesis said in an emailed statement. “Our goal is to resolve the current situation consensually without the need for any bankruptcy filing. Genesis continues to have constructive conversations with creditors.”

A representative for Binance declined to comment.

Other platforms are facing their own struggles as redemption requests roll in after FTX’s bankruptcy filing roiled the crypto sector and left investors on edge about the risk of contagion.

Gemini Trust Co., the crypto platform run by Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss, announced customer withdrawals from its yield-generating product would be delayed, given Genesis’s role as a key partner in the program.

Bitcoin drops to 1-week low, ether slides 7% as FTX collapse ripples through crypto market Published Mon, Nov 21 20223:57 AM EST

Bitcoin hovered around a one-week low on Monday and other major cryptocurrencies fell sharply, as the impact from the dramatic collapse of FTX continues to ripple through the market.

The cryptocurrency market has come under pressure over the last two weeks as problems at major exchange FTX came to light.

From Nov. 6 — the day Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao said his exchange would liquidate its FTT tokens — the crypto market has lost more than $260 billion of value.

Bitcoin hovered around a one-week low on Monday and other major cryptocurrencies fell sharply, as the impact from the dramatic collapse of FTX continues to ripple through the market.

Bitcoin was down 3.6% to trade around $15,990.89 at 3:40 a.m. ET, according to CoinDesk data. Ether fell 7% to $1,120.61.

Crypto markets remain on edge because it is unclear how the FTX saga will end, and whether there will be further contagion across the industry.

Investors have been burned by a number of high-profile crypto failures this year which have caused significant ripple effects.

Earlier this year, the collapse of terraUSD, a type of cryptocurrency known as an algorithmic stablecoin, had knock-on effects on a number of companies and contributed to the fall of major hedge fund Three Arrows Capital.

Correct -- but Coinbase will very likely shake out as the best in its sector .

[shajandr]

“They Are All Equally Risky”

The bigger effect here is not so much the immediate financial consequences. It’s the loss of confidence this is going to instill in people, especially once they realize that nobody’s going to be able to save it.

Are there other worrisome spots with other major crypto players that you have an eye on right now?

I would not have my money in any of them. Legally speaking, if you read, for example, Coinbase’s own disclosures, even they admit that if they go bankrupt, any assets on that platform are their assets. Which is different from any other company. Even if they aren’t holding them forever, if they go bankrupt, there’s a very good chance your assets are locked up for years in a court battle. Why would you want to take that risk? You should not hold any of your assets on any of these centralized exchanges, and you shouldn’t be holding any of these default protocols, either, because basically, those are just piggy banks for these guys to raid. Then the market will collapse. If you believe in Bitcoin, Ethereum, or whatever, and you want to hold those assets, I don’t agree with your opinion, but you could do it. But put them on your own books so that way, at the very least, you don’t lose title to them, as you almost certainly will if you have them in any centralized entity.

That’s a blanket statement. I can’t say there’s a specific company that I think is worse than any other. They are all equally a risk. If anybody has any sense at this point, they’ll be pulling their money out of these things.

The difference is COIN actually is public and shows debt and financials . They are also the ONLY exchange allowed to operate in many US States because they are the only one to comply with requirements.
