Coinbase is facing a proposed class-action lawsuit due to a recent data breach and UK regulatory issue that caused a stock drop.
The lawsuit alleges that Coinbase's stock declined after it disclosed the breach and a violation of a UK agreement, seeking damages for affected shareholders.
The data breach involving internal systems and a $20 million extortion demand led to a 7.2% drop in Coinbase shares, impacting investor confidence.
Coinbase also faces scrutiny over breaching a voluntary agreement with the UK Financial Conduct Authority, leading to legal challenges and potential financial repercussions.
