Coinbase exchange’s rapid rise left it exposed in Crypto winter

  Brian Armstrong, an early enthusiast of blockchain technology, built the cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase Global Inc. (COIN) to be a big company. He hired personnel by the hundreds, pushed into new geographies and scaled up the number of digital coins available on the platform. Coinbase exchange became the largest cryptocurrency exchange in United States and went public in spring of 2021 with a market capitalization of nearly $86 billion.
