Feb 21 (Reuters) - Coinbase Global Inc reported a loss for the fourth quarter on Tuesday, as trading volumes at the cryptocurrency exchange came under pressure from an industry-wide downturn triggered by a string of high-profile bankruptcies.

The company reported a net loss of $557 million in the three months ended Dec. 31, compared with a profit of $840 million a year earlier.
