COIN Stock Falls 6.4% as Coinbase Withdraws Crypto Bill Support

  • COIN, the native stock of Coinbase, dropped by 6.4% on January 15 as the company withdrew its support from the crypto market structure bill.
  • The COIN stock price formed a "death cross" pattern, with the 50-day SMA crossing below the 200-day SMA, indicating a bearish trend.
  • Historically, similar patterns have preceded significant rallies, with past occurrences followed by over 100% gains.
  • Coinbase's withdrawal from the bill was due to issues like tokenized equities ban, DeFi limitations, and CFTC authority curbs. CEO Brian Armstrong prefers no bill over a flawed one.
  • Armstrong believes the decision won't permanently harm the bill's prospects, stating that industry concerns are more about timing than content.
  • Citron Research criticized Coinbase's withdrawal, suggesting it fears competition rather than the bill's framework.
  • Securitize, backed by BlackRock, plans to go public in 2026 via a SPAC merger, having issued over $4 billion in tokenized assets.
