On Nov. 27, Coinbase closed at $119.77, its highest since May 5, 2022, when it closed at $114.25, according to TradingView data. It has seen little movement in after-hours trading.


The number puts Coinbase shares up around 256.5% year-to-date, although is still down 65% from its Nov. 12, 2021, all-time high of nearly $343.Coinbase share price since May 2022. Source: TradingView


Coinbase’s share surge comes just shy of a week since Binance and founder Changpeng “CZ” Zhao pleaded guilty to money laundering, violating U.S. sanctions and running an unlicensed money-transmitting business.


Zhao and Binance settled with the U.S. for $4.3 billion, which included Zhao stepping down as CEO and Binance agreeing to DOJ and Treasury compliance monitors for up to five years.

Over the past year Coinbase has also secured a significant windfall with to-be-approved U.S. spot Bitcoin (BTC) and Ether (ETH) exchange-traded funds (ETFs).

Coinbase, however, faces a lawsuit from the SEC which claims the exchange didn’t register with the regulator and listed several tokens that violated U.S. securities laws.


Coinbase had attempted to dismiss the suit and called into question the SEC’s authority to police crypto.
