Macroeconomics and financial markets

Among crypto-asset (virtual currency)-related stocks, the stock price of Coinbase in the US has recovered to an 18-month high of $119.7, following the resignation of CEO Changpeng Zhao of Binance, the largest crypto-asset (virtual currency) exchange. This is due to market expectations that while customers will continue to outflow Binance, competitors are expected to regain market share.

However, compared to the peak price of $343 in November 2021, which was the peak of the bull market, it remains below half the price, and it is expected that it will be influenced by the future market environment of crypto assets such as Bitcoin (BTC).

Coinbase stock plummeted in June this year after being sued by the U.S. SEC (Securities and Exchange Commission) for violating U.S. securities laws, but since then, the price of BTC has soared on the back of expectations for the approval of a Bitcoin ETF (exchange traded fund). There was a big backlash.
