Coinbase Tops $100B Market Cap as Crypto Momentum Builds

Coinbase, a major U.S. cryptocurrency exchange, has reached a significant milestone, surpassing a $100 billion market capitalization. According to recent data , Coinbase (COIN) shares hit an all-time high of $398.50 during trading on July 14. However, the COIN shares ended the day with approximately $394, a 2% increase during the trading period. Coinbase Might be a Trillion-Dollar Company Soon This price increase has led industry experts and investors to discuss the company’s long-term potential. Kylie Reidhead, co-owner of the crypto-focused media outlet Milk Road, highlighted Coinbase’s rapid growth in a post on X , comparing it to Amazon’s success in retail and Netflix’s impact on entertainment. He suggested that Coinbase might become a trillion-dollar company in the coming years. Kyle also noted that the exchange is working to improve the current financial system. It is worth noting that Coinbase’s growth comes as institutional interest in cryptocurrencies increases. The company’s growth is also attributed to its efforts to offer a wide range of products and establish stronger partnerships with major financial institutions. However, some market analysts are not as optimistic about Coinbase. A post on X revealed that some worry that the company’s valuation appears moderately overvalued. Critics think that while Coinbase has strong fundamentals, its current market value may be more influenced by speculation than by real earnings growth. Coinbase Shares Outperform S&P 500 Stocks Recall that the publicly-listed stock outperformed the broader market, including the other shares in the S&P 500, in June. As reported by TheCoinRise, COIN rose by 43%, surpassing the other shares to become the top performer in the S&P 500. Interestingly, the 43% surge pushed COIN to its highest level ever since its public debut in 2021. Meanwhile, the spike is primarily attributed to a shift in investor focus towards stablecoin revenue, triggered by Washington’s progress on the GENIUS Act for stablecoin regulation. This outlook is fueled by a series of positive institutional news entering the market. One of these is JPMorgan’s trademark application for digital asset services. Coinbase Builds a New Foundation for the Financial System Notably, the leading digital currency platform has made a strong statement about the future of global finance . The company believes crypto can help solve key problems in today’s financial system, such as rising debt, inflation, and growing distrust in banks.
