SEC Is Probing Coinbase Over User Number Misstatement Concern

Regulators take aim at crypto’s golden child—because what’s finance without a little creative accounting?

The SEC has launched a probe into Coinbase following concerns over discrepancies in reported user numbers. Sources suggest the exchange may have overstated metrics to investors.

Active investigation targets key disclosures: Regulatory filings from 2023-2024 are under microscope as officials verify platform growth claims.

Market impact muted—for now: COIN shares dipped 3% on news, while Bitcoin barely blinked. Because when has regulatory scrutiny ever slowed down crypto’s bull run?
