A shelf registration enables a company to register a new emission of securities in the form of primary or secondary offers. Since Coinbase went the path of direct listing, it did not record any additional debt during its IPO in 2021.

"Although we currently have no direct plans to offer securities, we will now be able to offer and sell securities in the future by submitting the declaration of regional registration, if we should choose", wrote Coinbase in A Blog entry Tuesday.

The mandate of submission is quite widely grasped according to Michael Miller, a stock analyst at Morningstar Research, since it covers ordinary shares and preferred shares as well as the emission of guilt titles and coinbase leaves several options for relatively quick capital procurement if managers operate this lever.

Coinbase reported sales of $ 1.17 billion in the first quarter and failed to estimate the analysts. The stocks crashed by 26 % on Wednesday.

The entire trading volume of the first quarter was $ 309 billion, a 44 % decline compared to the fourth quarter, which the stock exchange attributed to the market conditions.

Coinbase has $ 6 billion in cash and another $ 1.3 billion in crypto stocks in its balance sheet as a buffer in a declining market, said Miller, but the submission enables coin base to quickly access the capital markets if its core business areas are still confronted.

The stock exchange, like its competitors, has worked on diversifying their sources of income from their bread and butter trading fees- which have dropped with the introduction of new stock exchanges- and to other money creative activities. At best, the previous efforts were mixed.

"In view of the slipping of Coinbase from profitability, they could have difficulty letting debts to spend an attractive interest rate without recovering the markets for cryptocurrencies," said Miller. "In my opinion, this makes the issue of additional shares, regular shares or preferred shares, more likely than new debts. At the moment it is unclear whether they will do both."

The Coinbase's result report for the first quarter also contains a new disclosure, which clarifies that the assets of customers are not protected for a refund if the stock exchange is lost. The stock exchange currently keeps $ 256 billion in Fiat currencies and digital assets.

"In the event of bankruptcy, the crypto assets that we keep in the name of our customers could be subject to bankruptcy proceedings, and these customers could be treated as our general unsecured believers", wrote Coinbase in the first quarter Results report.
