The capitalization of companies that went public via SPAC has also dropped significantly, resulting in $46 billion <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2023-12-27\/spac-mania-s-ugly-end-yields-46-billion-of-investor-losses\"><span class=\"s4\">in investor losses<\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Coincheck is one of the largest crypto exchanges in Japan, with 1.98 million verified users.
