Coinbase, like any other cryptocurrency company has had to face multiple difficulties in the market crash which occurred in May. The company first went on to lay off more than 1100 employees, to cut the costs of the company to stay viable in the market and not only that, they also shut external vendors and Amazon web services. While the CEO didn’t directly acknowledge that it wouldn’t happen again, it was heard at a news that he told it was a onetime event.
Coinbase and BlackRock integration!
For Coinbase, the news hasn’t always been awful. The company earlier this month announced a partnership with BlackRock, the largest asset management in the world, to give its institutional clients access to crypto trading through its platform, despite the market’s declining value. As the integration happened, the shares of the company started rising, making the partnership a profitable one at the word go.
