Coinbase Global, Inc. (NASDAQ:COIN) is a leading cryptocurrency exchange platform that allows users to buy, sell, and store various digital currencies. Founded in 2012, Coinbase has grown to become one of the most popular platforms for cryptocurrency trading. It competes with other exchanges like Binance and Kraken. Recently, Coinbase faced a significant security breach, prompting an investigation by Bronstein, Gewirtz & Grossman, LLC.
On May 15, 2025, Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong disclosed that criminals accessed customer data by bribing customer service agents. This breach has led to crypto-stealing scams, with perpetrators demanding a $20 million ransom. The news caused a sharp decline in Coinbase's stock price during intraday trading, affecting investor confidence.
Just a day before the breach was revealed, Ehrsam Frederick Ernest III, a director at Coinbase, sold 7,028 shares of Class A Common Stock at approximately $260.54 each. Despite the breach, the current stock price of COIN is $266.46, showing a 9.01% increase or $22.02. This indicates some resilience in the stock's performance despite the negative news.
The stock has seen fluctuations, trading between $248.83 and $270.43 today. Over the past year, COIN's price ranged from a high of $349.75 to a low of $142.58. The company's market capitalization is around $67.87 billion, with a trading volume of 55.04 million shares on the NASDAQ exchange. This highlights the stock's volatility and the market's reaction to recent events.
Bronstein, Gewirtz & Grossman, LLC, known for its expertise in securities fraud class actions, is leading the investigation into the breach. They offer representation on a contingency fee basis, encouraging investors who purchased Coinbase securities to participate. This investigation aims to address the concerns of affected investors and hold responsible parties accountable.
