The dismissal of the Castle class action removes a key overhang that had been pending since mid-2024. With the litigation resolved, focus shifts to Coinbase's core crypto trading volumes and regulatory clarity. The insider sales are de minimis and likely part of routine 10b5-1 plans or tax-related transactions — no bearish signal.
