WASHINGTON, July 13 (Reuters) - Partnering with Coinbase Global (COIN.O) may hinder rather than help Nasdaq's (NDAQ.O) bid to win regulatory approval for a bitcoin exchange-traded-fund it wants to launch with BlackRock (BLK.N). The SEC has denied previous spot bitcoin ETF proposals on the basis that they would be vulnerable to manipulation. The SEC last month sued Coinbase, escalating SEC chair Gary Gensler's crackdown on the crypto industry. And with roughly 56% of U.S. dollar bitcoin trading, according to Nasdaq's filing, Coinbase is integral to the U.S. bitcoin market. All told, the SEC has 240 days after it accepts the bitcoin ETF filing applications to make a decision.

Investors should dump Coinbase ahead of its earnings report, Barclays warned. Analyst Benjamin Budish downgraded the crypto platform to underweight from equal weight while raising his price target by $9 to $70. Despite the increase, his new target implies the stock could drop 18.6% in the next year from Wednesday's close. The stock has surged more than 140% in 2023, staging a comeback from 2022's nosedive as investors have closely watched crypto stocks. Coinbase is expected to report second-quarter earnings next month, per FactSet.

CompaniesLaw Firms Ripple Labs Inc FollowCoinbase Global Inc FollowJuly 13 (Reuters) - Ripple Labs Inc did not violate federal securities law by selling its XRP token on public exchanges, a U.S. judge ruled on Thursday, a landmark legal victory for the cryptocurrency industry that sent the value of XRP soaring. An SEC spokesperson said the agency was pleased with part of the ruling in which the judge held that Ripple violated federal securities law by selling XRP directly to sophisticated investors. XRP sales on cryptocurrency platforms by Garlinghouse and co-founder and former CEO Chris Larsen, and other distributions including compensation to employees also did not involve securities, Torres ruled. PARTIAL WIN FOR THE SECThe SEC won a partial victory as Torres found the company's $728.9 million of XRP sales to hedge funds and other sophisticated buyers amounted to unregistered sales of securities. Both the Ripple and Coinbase cases focus on registration requirements and whether certain digital assets are securities under U.S. law.

NEW YORK, July 12 (Reuters) - The flagship fund of star stockpicker Cathie Wood hit an 11-month high Wednesday, extending a rally that has been powered by bets that inflation would fall rapidly and benefit the sort of speculative technology stocks she is known for. The $8.4 billion ARK Innovation ETF (ARKK.P) rose 0.6% in morning trading Wednesday to its highest level since August 2022. Wood's fund was among the worst-performing U.S. equity funds overall in 2022 as she continued to downplay the impact of inflation and said that deflation would be the larger issue driving markets. Lower interest rates help unprofitable or other early-stage companies by lowering their borrowing costs and increasing the value of future profits. "Anything that puts interest rate hikes at bay is definitely positive for any small-cap or speculative tech stock," he said.

July 12 (Reuters) - Circle said on Wednesday it has reduced staff and ended investments in non-core activities as the stablecoin issuer seeks to shore up its balance sheet. Coinbase Global (COIN.O), Chainalysis and Gemini all announced layoff plans earlier in the year after more than a trillion dollars were wiped out from the sector in 2022. "Circle is redoubling its focus on core business activities and execution," the company said in an email to Reuters, adding that it was continuing to hire in "key areas of focus." Crypto news portal CoinDesk reported about the developments at Circle earlier in the day.

Coinbase (COIN.O) and Binance.US, two of the largest crypto exchanges by market share among those operating in America, have lost ground this year. Bitstamp's global market share among exchanges operating in the U.S. has risen to about 9%. Coinbase and LMAX declined to comment on the data, while Binance.US - the American affiliate of the world's largest crypto exchange - didn't respond to a request for comment. It may not be that simple for hungry challengers to grab market share, according to market players. In years gone by, crypto exchanges could swiftly gobble up business by offering access to a swathe of coins.

NEW YORK, July 11 (Reuters) - Exchange operator Cboe Global Markets (CBOE.Z) on Tuesday filed amended applications to list and trade shares of three spot bitcoin exchange-traded funds, including one by Fidelity, to add surveillance-sharing agreements with crypto-trading platform Coinbase (COIN.O). Shares of Coinbase closed up 9.8% at $89.15 on Tuesday and hit their highest level since Aug. 16 of last year. To meet the standards, an exchange could show it "has a comprehensive surveillance-sharing agreement with a regulated market of significant size related to the underlying or reference bitcoin assets," the SEC said. Nasdaq (NDAQ.O) on June 29 refiled an application with the SEC to list a spot bitcoin ETF by BlackRock (BLK.N), the world's largest asset manager, which also included a surveillance-sharing agreement with Coinbase. Cboe had earlier said it expected to reach such an agreement with Coinbase, which attracted roughly half of U.S. dollar-bitcoin trading in May on its platform.

BlackRock's CEO talked up bitcoin last week, with the asset manager trying to launch a fund that tracks it. BlackRock is trying to become the first asset manager to launch a fund tracking the price of bitcoin. CEO Larry Fink has backed up his firm's push for the spot ETF by repeating bitcoin bulls' usual talking points, saying last week that the token is akin to "digitizing gold" and could eventually "revolutionize" finance. And the fact that BlackRock filed for its ETF off the back of that rally probably speaks to Wall Street's desire not to miss out on another potential bull run. BlackRock's spot ETF filing, and Fink's conversion from skeptic to potential savior, suggest that Wall Street is determined not to make the same mistake twice.

That effort escalated last month when the SEC sued crypto exchanges Coinbase and Binance for failing to register some crypto tokens. Most crypto companies dispute the SEC's jurisdiction. It would expand the Commodity Futures Trading Commission's (CFTC) oversight of the crypto industry, while clarifying the SEC's jurisdiction. With Democrats' support, the bill could have a shot in the Senate. McHenry and Thompson are discussing the proposal with crypto companies, regulators and Democrats, and hope the committees will vote on it before the August recess, senior Republican policy staff said.

But the regulator still found the filings to lack clarity and comprehension, prompting BlackRock to refile last week. BlackRock first filed its application to launch the iShares Bitcoin Trust last month, with Fidelity following suit two weeks later. "However, if [the SEC] is trying to manufacture a way to approve a bitcoin ETF, this would be the way to do it. The filings come amid an ongoing legal battle between Grayscale and the SEC about converting its Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC) into an ETF. "But certainly, things look more positive than they did maybe three weeks ago, six weeks ago."

July 5 (Reuters) - The market share of Binance, the world's largest cryptocurrency exchange, and its U.S. affiliate have shrank this year, as they battle an onslaught of regulatory crackdowns. Last month, Binance was hit by a lawsuit by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for allegedly breaching the regulator's rules, pushing its global market share to 52% from 60% at the start of the year, according to data firm Kaiko. Binance had begun to cede market share in March after its move to end zero-fees transactions for some trading pairs, said Dessislava Aubert, an analyst at Kaiko. "Binance's market share has gone to a variety of exchanges with Bybit and OKX faring best," Aubert said. Crypto companies dispute that crypto tokens are securities and have repeatedly called for the SEC to create clear rules.

The Securities And Exchange Commission has filed a lawsuit against cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase for allegedly violating securities laws by acting as an exchange, a broker and a clearing agency without registering with the Securities and Exchange Commission. United Parcel Service — Shares of the logistics and delivery company fell more than 1% in premarket trading as negotiations between UPS and the Teamsters union appeared to hit an impasse. The union said in a statement Wednesday that negotiations had collapsed after UPS "walked away from the table." UPS said in response that it had not walked away and was encouraging the union to return to the table. The current UPS Teamsters contract expires at the end of July.

FTX customers who lost all their money when the exchange collapsed should blame the Securities and Exchange Commission, according to Mark Cuban. "Of course they chose to litigate to regulate," Cuban said. FTX filed for bankruptcy in November after a bombshell report sparked a run on its deposits, with its collapse wiping out billions of dollars worth of customers' money. "When FTX crashed, no one in FTX Japan lost money," Cuban wrote. "If the USA/SEC had followed their example by setting clear regulations that required the separation of customer and business funds and clear wallet requirements, no one here would have lost money on FTX," he added.

Piper Sandler says there's too much uncertainty around Coinbase , and investors need to stay away. A lack of regulatory clarity also drove the downgrade, according to analyst Patrick Moley. He lowered his price target to $60 from $65, which implies shares drawing back 24.9% from Monday's close. "However, rising crypto prices have not translated to increased trading volumes for COIN in recent quarters and the timing of a spot bitcoin ETF approval is anyone's guess," said Moley. The analyst expects Coinbase to post its lowest quarterly trading volumes and monthly transacting user totals in over two years for the second quarter.
