This week's crypto-industry crackdown by the SEC has sent the price of Coinbase stock falling. Just 24 minutes before the SEC announced its lawsuit against Binance, a trader made a big options trade betting on a stock decline, Bloomberg found. Depending on if and when the trader closed their position, the wager could've paid out up to $2.6 million. As the regulatory authority announced back-to-back lawsuits, first against Binance and then against Coinbase, asset prices pegged to the industry tumbled. Few felt the brunt of the crackdown quite like Coinbase stock itself.
