Macroeconomic uncertainty has become a sacred wind for many businesses, but global shopify and coinbase really feel the bite of the bear market. After growing at turbocharged speed throughout Pandemic, the two companies have seen the momentum failed because high inflation has put pressure on discretionary consumer expenditure.
