SAN FRANCISCO – Coinbase (NASDAQ:), a leading cryptocurrency exchange, saw its stock (NASDAQ:COIN) jump to $115.75 per share today, marking a significant rebound to levels seen for the last time was over a year ago. COIN’s rally coincided with a broader rise in the cryptocurrency market, with Bitcoin breaking through the $38,000 mark and approaching $2,131.
The resurgence in Coinbase’s stock value echoes the company’s performance ahead of May 2022, before the market downturn triggered by the collapse of its algorithmic stablecoins and its cryptocurrency LUNA. Since its IPO in 2021, COIN’s valuation had been impacted by the bearish sentiment that swept the crypto space following this event.
Coinbase’s recent price rise can be attributed in part to its strategic partnerships with major financial institutions such as BlackRock (NYSE:) and Fidelity. These collaborations are focused on providing custody services for companies’ planned Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs). These ETFs are designed to provide traditional investors with a way to engage in the crypto economy by investing in stocks that track the value of crypto. The proposed ETFs are currently under review by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
Investor enthusiasm around these developments has been palpable, as partnerships with established financial entities like BlackRock and Fidelity lend credibility to Coinbase’s offerings and, by extension, the crypto market. This helped boost investor confidence and likely played a role in COIN’s share price rising.
The broader cryptocurrency market has also seen a significant rise, suggesting renewed investor interest in digital assets. The performance of major cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin and ethereum is often seen as an indicator of the overall health and sentiment of the market, which currently appears to be on an upward trajectory.
As the SEC continues to review proposed Bitcoin ETFs, the outcome will be closely watched by investors and could have further implications for Coinbase’s stock performance and the broader cryptocurrency market.
