The US-based crypto exchange Coinbase is facing an \u201cexistential risk\u201d as the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) continues its crackdown on the crypto industry, a financial analyst has warned.<\/p>\n

The warning from the analyst followed renewed concerns among Coinbase investors that tokens listed on the exchange could be considered securities under SEC rules, a change in classification that would bring a host of new regulatory requirements with it, Bloomberg reported on Thursday.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe business could be materially different than what they are today,\u201d Stephen Glagola, an analyst at stock brokerage TD Cowen, was cited by Bloomberg as saying.<\/p>\n

Glagola added that the company has noted it \u201cpotentially could require Coinbase to jettison its entire customer-facing business.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s just existential risk,\u201d said the analyst, who currently recommends investors sell the Coinbase stock.<\/p>\n

Coinbase trades on the Nasdaq exchange under the ticker COIN.<\/p>\n

The stock ended the day higher on Thursday after seeing heavy selling earlier in the week.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Since the beginning of the year, COIN remains up by about 46%.<\/p>\n

Coinbase expands internationally<\/h2>\n

At the same time as the regulatory pressure is heating up at home, Coinbase has announced ambitious plans to expand internationally, starting with an international derivatives exchange registered in Bermuda.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs more and more markets are moving forward with regulatory frameworks to become crypto hubs, we believe the moment is right to launch this international exchange,\u201d Coinbase said in a blog post, while calling the move \u201cthe next chapter of the company’s Go Deep, Go Broad global expansion strategy.\u201d<\/p>\n

Coinbase was in March this year served a so-called Wells notice \u2013 a letter that typically precedes enforcement action \u2013 by the SEC.<\/p>\n

The exchange responded to the letter by claiming that it is the SEC that has not \u201ccomplied with the law\u201d by allowing companies like Coinbase to register.<\/p>\n

Last week, Coinbase announced that it had taken another step in its battle to bring regulatory clarity to the US, filing its lawsuit against the SEC to get the clarity it needs.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
