Coinbase’s stock soared past the $300 mark on Monday, currently trading at $317, following a 17% rise fueled by investor optimism surrounding crypto-related companies after Donald Trump’s presidential election victory.
This surge reflects a broader trend as Bitcoin hit record highs, rising above $85,000.
MicroStrategy’s stock also surged 17% amid a Bitcoin buying spree, with the company recently acquiring an additional 27,200 BTC, bringing its total holdings to a massive 279,420 BTC.
Coinbase has seen substantial benefits from increased trading volumes and transaction fees as Bitcoin’s price rises, driving a 243% increase in its stock value over the past year.
Retail sentiment may be starting to enter the crypto markets, as reflected in Coinbase’s recent app ranking, now positioned at 70 on the Apple App Store—a notable milestone as it re-enters the top 100 for the first time since March, according to The Block data.
This upward trend signals potential investor interest in buying Coinbase stock, positioning themselves ahead of a full retail influx into the space.
Coinbase’s stock has surged 72% over the last five days and is up 102% year-to-date, underscoring strong investor enthusiasm and renewed optimism in the digital assets sector.
Political momentum is fueling the crypto market, with Trump’s win sparking anticipation of favorable policies, including a strategic Bitcoin reserve and a potential replacement of SEC Chair Gary Gensler.
The Republican Senate majority adds to this optimism, as likely Banking Committee Chair Tim Scott has signaled plans to ease regulatory hurdles, potentially benefiting Coinbase and similar platforms.
Coinbase’s third-quarter results show a strong financial position, with positive earnings and net income.
Backed by an $8.2 billion balance sheet and a $1 billion stock buyback program, Coinbase remains well-positioned for growth.
