Manually identified reason
Automatic screening reads the industry label, not what's inside. This company's filings were checked by hand and a hidden prohibited activity was found:
Crypto exchange — staking/margin interest
What the company does
Coinbase is the largest US crypto exchange: trading Bitcoin/Ether and other tokens (fees), staking (earning yield on locked tokens), a share of USDC stablecoin income and derivatives (Deribit). Its money comes from trading fees and those services.
What was checked
The AAOIFI standard has four steps: business activity first, then three financial ratios. Fail one and the stock is not halal.
