On July 25, 2024, Reuters reported on a piece titled “Coinbase UK Unit Fined for Violating Financial Crime Regulations.” The article noted that Coinbase’s UK subsidiary, CB Payments Limited (CBPL), faced fines for failing to comply with a regulatory agreement aimed at strengthening its defenses against financial crime. Allegedly, CBPL provided services to 13,416 high-risk customers, contrary to a commitment made after an evaluation by the UK’s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). Funds deposited by these high-risk clients were reportedly used to facilitate multiple crypto transactions through other Coinbase entities, amounting to approximately $226 million. Following this news, Coinbase’s stock price dropped by $13.52, falling from $245.04 on July 24, 2024, to close at $231.52 on July 25, 2024.
The lawsuit claims that Coinbase made misleading statements and/or failed to disclose critical information, including: (1) In 2020, the FCA had determined that CBPL’s efforts to prevent criminal activity on its platform were inadequate; (2) this led to an agreement with CBPL that imposed requirements to prevent high-risk customers from accessing its services; (3) CBPL subsequently violated this agreement, allowing 13,416 high-risk individuals to use its platform; and (4) as a result, the company faced undisclosed increased regulatory risks.
