In a week marked , Coinbase cut 700 jobs on Monday, reflecting ongoing struggles in the cryptocurrency market. The company once celebrated for its rapid growth is now grappling with increased scrutiny and financial losses.
The situation worsened on Thursday when Coinbase reported a staggering $394 million loss for the quarter. Investors expressed concern, leading to heightened uncertainty about the platform’s future and operational viability.
Things took a turn for the worse on Friday. A data center in Virginia overheated, causing the exchange to be offline for seven hours. Users were unable to access their accounts, further eroding trust amid financial instability.
