Throughout the year, we watched numerous cryptocurrency institutions go down in flames amid an unprecedented bear market. We mentioned Celsius Network, CoinFlex, Voyager, and, of course, FTX, among some other names. With many bad apples out of business, it is time to look at the remaining market players like Coinbase.
The company reported a loss of $544.64 mil. for the third quarter of 2022, which follows a $1.09 bn. loss in the second quarter and $429.66 mil. in the first quarter. The total loss for the nine months of 2022 exceeds $1.98 bn., reflecting a big blow to the company with $111.16 bn. in total assets and $105.54 bn. in total liabilities (as of 30th September 2022).
Furthermore, the company disclosed a staggering decline in trading volume from $327 bn. to $159 bn. (YoY) in the third quarter of 2022 (down from a peak of $547 bn. in Q4 2021). In our view, these are significant issues the company is facing. Indeed, we believe they will get exacerbated with the FED raising rates and regulatory scrutiny. As a result, we are very bearish on Coinbase and expect it to continue much lower, potentially facing the risk of significant problems with liquidity.
