Fred Ehrsam Buys the Dip, Purchases Coinbase shares worth $75M
As the crypto exchange giant Coinbase released its earnings report for Q1, the stock price of the company heavily plunged. However, the co-founder Fred Ehrsam took advantage of the dip to buy more than one million Coinbase (COIN) shares.
Coinbase co-founder's heavy shopping
On May 13, Ehrsan, who is also the co-founder and managing partner of crypto investment firm Paradigm, bought more than 706,000 Coinbase shares at an average price of $70 each, which is worth around $50 million, according to a Form 4 filing with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). In addition, the Co-founder went on to purchase another 385,000 Coinbase shares at an average price of $65 each, which is worth around $25 million.The recent shopping increased Paradigm's Coinbase holdings to more than 3.6 million shares. Ehrsam, who currently serves on the Coinbase's board of directors, additionally holds 1.1 million shares through a trust.
Ehrsam and affiliated entities have been regular traders of Coinbase stock since the April 2021 IPO, selling hundreds of millions of dollars in shares.
Downfall led to the heavy purchase
Coinbase's Q1 earnings report shows revenue of $1.165 billion, a 27% year-on-year reduction, and a 53.2% month-on-month decrease, leading to a net loss of $430 million.Furthermore, trading volume in the first quarter of this year was $309 billion, a 44% decrease from the previous quarter. The retail trading volume was $74 billion, a 58% decrease from Q4. Weaker cryptocurrency market conditions in Q1 mainly caused the consecutive decline in Q1 compared to Q4. Institutional Trading Volume was $235 billion, a decrease of 37% from the previous quarter, and accounted for 76% of total Trading Volume.
Last week's shopping occurred after Coinbase shares fell over 70% in 2022 and over 80% from the all-time high reached shortly after the company's first public offering last year.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I trust Cryptonary's calls?
Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.
Do I need to be an experienced trader or investor to benefit?
No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.
What makes Cryptonary different from free crypto content on YouTube or Twitter?
Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.
Why is there no trial or refund policy?
We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.
Do I get direct access to the Cryptonary team?
Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.
How often is content updated?
Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.
How does the 3X Value Guarantee work?
We stand behind the value of our research. If the documented upside from our published research during your 12-month membership does not exceed three times (3X) the annual subscription cost, you can request a full refund. Historical context: In every completed market cycle since 2017, cumulative documented upside has exceeded 10X this threshold.
