According to the complaint, Coinbase is “fueling the crypto-economy”, providing a “trusted platform” for sending and receiving Bitcoin and other digital assets built using blockchain technology to around $ 43 million. retail users, 7,000 institutions and 115,000 ecosystem partners in over 100 countries.

On April 14, 2021, Coinbase filed its prospectus on a Form 424B4, which is part of the registration statement. Coinbase has registered for the resale of up to 114,850,769 Class A common shares by registered shareholders. According to the registration statement, the resale of Coinbase shares was not underwritten by any investment bank and the registered shareholders would have chosen whether or not to sell their shares. Any such sales, if any, would be brokerage transactions on NASDAQ, and Coinbase would apparently not receive any proceeds from the sale of Class A common stock by registered shareholders. Thus, Coinbase’s operations would continue to be funded by cash flow from operating activities and net proceeds from the sale of convertible preferred shares. As of December 31, 2020, Coinbase had $ 1.1 billion in cash and cash equivalents, excluding restricted cash and customer trust funds.

The complaint alleges that a month later, Coinbase’s high-flying promise came to a screeching halt as Coinbase recognized the need to raise capital and revealed performance issues that prevented users from trading crypto. currencies. On May 17, 2021, Coinbase announced plans to raise around $ 1.25 billion through a convertible bond sale. Then, on May 19, 2021, Coinbase revealed technical issues, including “delays … due to network congestion” affecting those who wish to withdraw their money.

Following this news, Coinbase’s share price fell $ 23.44 per share, or nearly 10%, on two consecutive trading sessions, to close at $ 224.80 per share on May 19, 2021. At the time of filing the complaint, Coinbase stock was trading at $ 208.00 per share. share, a decrease from its April 14, 2021 opening price of $ 381.00 per share.

The complaint alleges that the offer documents were false and misleading and failed to state that at the time of the offer: (1) Coinbase required a significant cash injection; (2) Coinbase’s platform was sensitive to service level disruptions, which were increasingly likely to occur as Coinbase extended its services to a wider user base; and (3) as a result of the foregoing, the defendants’ positive statements about Coinbase’s business, operations and outlook were materially misleading and / or lacking reasonable basis.
