Coinbase shares tumbled today to their their lowest point since the company began trading publicly on April 14. The market often moves in mysterious ways, but several drivers could be at play, including Coinbase’s high opening price at the time of its direct listing, its reliance on margins that are all but certain to drop owing to growing competition, and the lack of a lock-up period, meaning more insiders might now be offloading some of their highly valued shares, driving down their price in the process.

This Week in Apps: Facebook’s other Clubhouse rival, Apple details ATT, App Store trial nears

Welcome back to This Week in Apps,  the weekly TechCrunch series  that recaps the latest in mobile OS news, mobile applications and the overall app economy. The app industry is as hot as ever, with a record  218 billion downloads and $143 billion in global consumer spend in 2020. Consumers last year also  spent  3.5 trillion minutes using apps on Android devices alone. And in the U.S., app usage surged ahead of the time spent watching live TV. Currently, the average American watches 3.7 hours of live TV per day, but now spends four hours per day on their mobile devices. Apps aren’t just a way to pass idle hours — they’re also a big business. In 2019, mobile-first companies had a  combined $544 billion valuation, 6.5x higher than those without a mobile focus. In 2020, investors poured $73 billion in capital into mobile companies — a figure that’s up 27% year-over-year. This Week in Apps will soon be a newsletter! Sign up here: techcrunch.com/news...
