Why Coinbase's Latest Acquisition Is a Game Changer

Winter is here, and Coinbase Global (NASDAQ: COIN) is frozen in a crypto blizzard. During the final months of 2021, high-flying technology stocks witnessed significant sell-offs. These sell-offs have mutated beyond stocks, and cryptocurrencies are the next asset to experience valuation compression.
