The incredible and terrible week of Coinbase 😬😬😭😭😭

Cryptocurrencies skyrocketed 📈📈📊 this week, and not just the prices of the $ tokens, as COIN shares rose 📊 by 27%. However, not everything was rosy.

There was a leak of personal information from a large number of customers, including identification documents, contact information, and transaction history. While the company claimed that the total leak amounted to less than 1% of the total customers, it remains a large-scale breach. Amid all this uproar, it was also revealed that there is a lengthy SEC investigation into alleged incorrect user metrics in its 2021 IPO application.

Despite the chaotic events, Coinbase ended up recovering all of its losses from Thursday and reached new highs on Friday, the last trading day before COIN's inclusion in the S&P 500.
