A plummeting cryptocurrency market has hit blockchain-adjacent enterprises hard, with Coinbase Global Inc<\/strong> (NASDAQ:<\/a>COIN<\/a>) being one of the more prominent victims. Because the company’s success is directly tied to the health of cryptos, it wasn’t surprising that COIN stock plunged.

To be fair, oddsmakers have pegged about a 35% chance of a quarter-point cut from the Fed next month. That’s not great but it’s far from a consensus expectation<\/a>. In a note to CNBC, Kay Haigh, global co-head of fixed income and liquidity solutions at Goldman Sachs Asset Management, stated that a “December cut remains possible given continued labor market softness as expressed by the unemployment rate.”<\/p>\n

Yes, COIN stock losing 30% in the trailing month is downright hideous. Still, there’s also reason to believe in the contrarian case.<\/p>\n
