XRP fell 6% to $1.54 on Tuesday, mirroring declines in bitcoin and ether as crypto markets sold off.

Coinbase stock slides nearly 6% as bitcoin dips under $85,000; Washington crypto talks loom

New York, January 29, 2026, 1:07 PM EST — Regular session Shares of Coinbase Global (COIN.O) fell Thursday, falling 5.7% to $197.50 after bitcoin dipped below $85,000. The stock hit an intraday low of $194.30, pulling down other crypto-linked names as well. The decline wasn’t limited to one stock.

Coinbase stock slides for a seventh straight session as UK ad ban, Fed decision hit the tape

Coinbase stock slides for a seventh straight session as UK ad ban, Fed decision hit the tape

New York, January 28, 2026, 20:44 EST — The market has closed. Coinbase Global (COIN.O) slipped for the seventh session in a row on Wednesday, ending down 0.7% at $209.43. After-hours trading showed a further decline of roughly 0.3%. (StockAnalysis) This run matters since Coinbase remains heavily dependent on crypto trading activity. Bitcoin’s moves can quickly shift trading volumes and fees, with the stock often magnifying those swings. The timing couldn’t be more awkward. Regulators remain focused on the sector, and interest rates aren’t settling down either, leaving investors to navigate multiple challenges simultaneously. The Federal Reserve kept the federal

Coinbase stock edges up as UK bans ‘Everything is Fine’ ads and prediction markets draw heat

New York, Jan 28, 2026, 14:38 EST — Regular session Shares of Coinbase Global (COIN.O) nudged up 0.2% to $211.24 Wednesday afternoon, following a UK ad watchdog’s ban on a Coinbase campaign that exploited cost-of-living concerns. The move underscores ongoing regulatory crackdowns on crypto marketing. (Yahoo Finance) The timing is crucial as Coinbase pushes to boost activity on its app by adding products that resemble a traditional brokerage. Last month, it started introducing stock trading and “prediction markets” — event contracts that trade like markets and settle based on real-world outcomes — alongside its crypto offerings.

New York, January 27, 2026, 21:07 EST — Market closed. Shares of Coinbase Global Inc (COIN.O) slipped 1.2% to $210.83 in after-hours trading Tuesday.

Uber stock slips as Dutch driver ruling and new AV Labs put regulation, robotaxis back in focus

NEW YORK, Jan 27, 2026, 14:40 ET — Regular session Uber Technologies (UBER) shares dipped 0.6% to $81.51 in afternoon trading Tuesday, hitting a low of $79.88 earlier on. Lyft dropped 1.6%, Tesla declined roughly 0.9%, and Alphabet climbed 0.7%. Shares are edging amid investor debates over two key factors: the expenses tied to Uber’s driver-based system and the looming question of self-driving taxis, which could be either a risk or a breakthrough down the line. Driver classification is crucial since court decisions can shift what platforms must pay in benefits, taxes, and protections. Autonomy is key because robotaxis —

Virgin Media pension ruling fallout: UK FRC issues new actuary guidance as “section 37” fix nears

Virgin Media pension ruling fallout: UK FRC issues new actuary guidance as “section 37” fix nears

London, Jan 24, 2026, 00:48 GMT Britain’s Financial Reporting Council (FRC) has issued new guidance for pension scheme actuaries handling historic rule changes following the Virgin Media case. This comes as the government moves to introduce legislation allowing schemes to validate older amendments. (Pensions Age) The ruling is significant because it revealed that some “contracted-out” defined benefit schemes—workplace plans that replaced part of the state pension and promise benefits based on pay and service—could be declared void if they lack the required written actuarial sign-off from that period. According to the FRC’s technical guidance, this missing evidence might expose schemes
