The downfall of FTX in the crypto market is having side effects on US-based crypto exchange Coinbase. Bank of America has stated that it will downgrade Coinbase from “buy to neutral.” In the last 24 hours, the price of the Coinbase was reduced by 7%; currently, it is trading at $45 (USD). Goldman maintained its sell rating on Coinbase and reduced its year end price forecast to $41 (USD) from $49 (USD).
In a recent press conference Bank of America stated that it is important to separate speculative crypto trading and token prices from the underlying blockchain technology.
Jason Kupferberg stated that “We think Coinbase likely faces a number of new headwinds over the mid-term due to the recent collapse of rival crypto exchange FTX.” “As a result, we downgrade Coinbase to neutral from buy and reduce our estimates.”
On November 8, Coinbase CEO Brain Armstrong assured their platform users that Coinbase is a regulated institution and that the entity holds users’ funds as one-to-one, making a situation like FTX impossible. Brain stated that he was upset with the recent third quarter earnings report.
He thought it was necessary to provide clarity about how Coinbase crypto assets are different from others. The new approach is to maintain transparency, risk management, and consumer protection.
"Coinbase ເປັນບໍລິສັດທີ່ມີການຊື້ຂາຍສາທາລະນະໃນສະຫະລັດ, ແລະພວກເຮົາໄດ້ສ້າງທຸລະກິດຂອງພວກເຮົາໃນແບບທີ່ອະນຸຍາດໃຫ້ພວກເຮົາມີຄວາມໂປ່ງໃສກ່ຽວກັບບັນທຶກການຕິດຕາມຂອງພວກເຮົາ, ຄວາມເຂັ້ມແຂງຂອງໃບດຸ່ນດ່ຽງແລະການຄຸ້ມຄອງຄວາມສ່ຽງຕໍ່ລູກຄ້າຂອງພວກເຮົາແລະຕົວເຮົາເອງຢ່າງລະມັດລະວັງແລະມີປະສິດທິພາບ," Brain ກ່າວ. .
