Benzinga ·  Mar 27, 2023 12:47

Coinbase Global Inc (NASDAQ:COIN), Marathon Digital Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:MARA) and Riot Platforms Inc (NASDAQ:RIOT) shares are all trading lower Monday afternoon amid broader weakness across cryptocurrencies.

Shares of several altcoins are trading lower following reports Binance and co-founder, Changpeng Zhao (CZ), were sued by the CFTC over US regulatory violations.

The regulatory body accused the company of violating trading and derivatives regulations, Bloomberg reported.

The legal action was initiated on Monday in a federal court located in Chicago.

CZ had recently raised concerns over the recent shutdown of cryptocurrency friendly banks, stating that it feels like there is a coordinated effort by the U.S. government to shut down such banks.

According to data from Benzinga Pro:

  • COIN is trading lower by 10.29% to $60.85
  • MARA is lower by 7.23% to $7.24
  • RIOT is lower by 6.02% to $8.11
