About CoinbaseTripleHit

Coinbase hit by a $394M Q1 net loss, 14% layoffs, and a major outage on the same day. An AWS US-EAST-1 heat failure triggered multi-AZ downtime, knocking trading offline for ~7 hours in cancel-only mode. As the largest regulated exchange, both technical resilience and profitability are under scrutiny. CEO Armstrong says the pivot is toward derivatives, futures, and prediction markets. Whether infrastructure can support that upgrade is the biggest open question.
