positive reports

Likewise, despite the fact that the crypto market had to face the crypto winter and a series of catastrophic events, of which the collapses of Terra/LUNA and FTX stand out, this was not an impediment for them to appear, like a flower in the middle of the winter, growths in other areas.

Despite all of the foregoing, Coinbase has been able to continually improve its services, as well as expanding its digital asset offering to attract a growing user base.
It should be said that, despite the red numbers, Coinbase’s financial report has been well received by the crypto community and by investors, this is because the firm managed to exceed analysts’ expectations, in addition to demonstrating its ability to adapt. and grow in a constantly evolving market.
