About Coinbase Global, Inc.

Coinbase Global, Inc. is a Delaware corporation that operates a global cryptocurrency platform. Its main business lines include the Coinbase Exchange for spot trading, Coinbase Prime for institutional brokerage and custody, and a range of consumer wallet and staking services.

The company is subject to extensive anti-money-laundering (AML), counter-terrorist financing (CTF), and sanctions regulations worldwide.

What’s Being Investigated

Lawyers are investigating allegations that Coinbase’s board and officers may have failed to oversee mission-critical AML controls at its European subsidiary.

On November 6, 2025, the Central Bank of Ireland fined Coinbase Europe €21.5 million for anti-money-laundering monitoring failures, stating that faults in its transaction-monitoring system left more than 30 million transactions unmonitored over a 12-month period, representing about 31% of Coinbase Europe’s transactions and over €176 billion in value; the regulator said 2,708 suspicious transactions were later reported. 

Lawyers are evaluating whether prior public assurances about compliance aligned with these findings and whether board-level reporting adequately escalated red flags identified by Irish regulators.

Why Investors May Be Concerned

Stockholders are assessing whether Coinbase’s leadership implemented and maintained effective AML controls and monitoring, and whether compliance reporting to the board sufficiently escalated red flags identified by Irish regulators. They are also reviewing whether public disclosures accurately characterized the strength of compliance systems during the relevant period.

Your Rights and Next Steps

This is an active investigation into potential fiduciary duty and oversight issues at Coinbase Global, Inc. If you held Coinbase shares during the relevant period and experienced losses, you may have rights to pursue a shareholder action on behalf of the company to strengthen governance and seek appropriate relief.

Potential next steps include requesting books and records under Delaware law to evaluate oversight and disclosure controls, submitting a written demand that the board pursue claims, or supporting a shareholder action if warranted.

What Shareholders Can Do

Securities investigations are time sensitive. If you have held Coinbase Global (COIN) shares continuously since at least April 2021, you may be able to seek corporate reforms, the return of funds back to the Company, and a court-approved incentive award for yourself, all at absolutely no cost.
