Coinbase stated in the report:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Because custodially held crypto assets may be considered to be the property of a bankruptcy estate, in the event of a bankruptcy, the crypto assets we hold in custody on behalf of our customers could be subject to bankruptcy proceedings and such customers could be treated as our general unsecured creditors.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Following the disclosure, Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong said in a tweet:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u00a0\u201cWe should have updated our retail terms sooner, and we didn\u2019t communicate proactively when this risk disclosure was added.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>As a result, the Coinbase Class A common stock fell by 26.4% to close at $53.72 per share on May 11, 2022, leading to more loss for its investors.<\/p>\n<p>The case against Coinbase also included the ongoing probe by the SEC.
