After the recent revelations on Insider trading by Coinbase’s former Product Manager, another major bad news hit coinbase shareholders.
Recently, coinbase 
Wall Street announced that Coinbase shareholders “face the risk of higher share dilution stemming from restricted stock units.”
The (RSUs) restricted stock units can be included in employee compensation plans; this is the same for shareholders of Robinhood as well.
As per JP Morgan’s analyst, Kenneth Worthington, “Coinbase’s declining stock price could increase share dilution by 7% annually in coming years”.
To provide incentives to the staff while keeping the cash remuneration expenses lower, both companies issue equity in the form of restricted stock units to their employees.
In this situation, Coinbase can be easily compelled to compensate employees by issuing additional shares, but this could lead to a very high dilution of existing shares. A JP Morgan analyst added that the dilutions could reduce the company’s value by 30% in the next five years. Last month, Goldman Sachs also downgraded Coinbase’s ratings amid a market crunch.
