For Coinbase, the downturn has impacted its shares and company revenue. But Armstrong is bullish on the sector and for the crypto exchange.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201c<em>Obviously we are in a bit of a down cycle here, but it\u2019s nothing unusual for us<\/em>,\u201d he told Rooney, noting that what\u2019s happening is what Coinbase has gone through before.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">According to him, the company has seen four such down cycles in the past 10 years since its launch, with 2022 only different in the sense that the downturn has coincided with \u201c<em>the broader micro environment<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The past few months have seen crypto markets brutalised, with leading cryptocurrency Bitcoin falling from its perch above $69,000 in November to below the previous bull market cycle high of $20,000.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The broader crypto market, with Ethereum also losing most of the bull cycle gains, saw over $2 trillion in market cap value wiped off.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">On how long he sees the down cycle lasting, he says it\u2019s likely to be 12 to 18 months. However, although he foresees a recovery within this period, he warns that the market might have to \u201cplan for it being longer than that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201c<em>That\u2019s how we think about it, and we don\u2019t try to get too cute predicting the future<\/em>,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">He also talked about his company\u2019s plans to cut costs, further measures to the layoffs it undertook in June. As for shifting from dependence on trading fees, the company is looking to build its business around more subscription and service-based revenue generation.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The key is to have up to 50% of the revenue come from the above models, he said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/coinjournal.net\/news\/coinbase-ceo-says-crypto-winter-might-last-another-12-18-months\/\">Source link <\/a><br \/>\n<br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(Originally posted on : CoinJournal: Latest Bitcoin, Ethereum &amp; Crypto News ) Crypto winter has seen crypto prices fall to new cycle lows Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong says its difficult to predict markets, but foresees the crypto market recovery taking a year or more.
