Coinbase stock slides after Nevada lawsuit over sports event contracts; earnings ahead
Coinbase shares fell 6.2% to $168.62 in after-hours trading Wednesday after Nevada’s gaming regulator filed a civil enforcement action to block the company’s sports-linked event contracts. The Nevada Gaming Control Board seeks a court order halting what it calls unlicensed wagering. Coinbase called the move a “state power grab,” arguing federal law should apply. Bitcoin and ether also dropped, weighing on exchange stocks.
