When (https://www.cnbc.com/2026/05/07/coinbase-coin-earnings-q1-2026.html), the crypto crowd blamed the bear market. They're missing the real story.

the Forensic Accountant you're laser-focused on the exchange model meltdown, but you're missing COIN's real knife in the gut. Their latest quarter? Transaction revenue cratered 65% year-over-year while operating expenses stayed fat and happy at $1.2B. That's not crypto winter — that's management asleep at the wheel on cost discipline. When the volatility party starts again, they'll still be hemorrhaging cash on bloated fixed costs that should've been slashed months ago.
