Bitcoin ETF Boosts Coinbase Retail Investor Numbers
The recent surge in capital towards Bitcoin ETFs has resulted in increased interest from investors who want to join the cryptocurrency market through traditional institutions. According to a report by Yahoo Finance, Coinbase, a popular cryptocurrency exchange, is benefiting greatly from the hype surrounding Bitcoin ETFs.
Coinbase’s Performance and Investor Traction
Last week, Coinbase experienced a surge in its stock price after reporting its first profit since 2021. The company’s Q4 institutional transaction revenue also increased by 161% compared to the previous quarter, reaching $37 million. The rise in institutional trading volume, up by 92% quarter on quarter, aligns with the growth in the US spot market. This increase in institutional transactions can be attributed to the excitement around the potential approval of Bitcoin ETFs. Additionally, there has been a noticeable increase in retail investors showing interest in Coinbase’s future earnings.
Impact of Bitcoin ETF Hype on Coinbase
The approval of Bitcoin ETFs has not only boosted investor confidence in Bitcoin but has also bridged the gap between traditional traders and decentralized markets. With the growing number of retail investors and the increasing hype around ETFs, Coinbase is likely to experience an upward trend in retail trading activity.
Record Inflows for Bitcoin ETFs
A recent report by CoinShares revealed that Bitcoin ETFs attracted a record-breaking $2.4 billion in weekly inflows. This surge indicates a strengthening of investor sentiment towards cryptocurrencies. It is worth noting that Blackrock’s IBIT was previously ranked among the top ETFs in the market.
As more institutional investors enter the cryptocurrency space due to the buzz surrounding Bitcoin ETFs, the future looks promising for various cryptocurrencies, with Bitcoin leading the pack. Many organizations predict that the price of Bitcoin will continue to rise, with Bitwise forecasting a price above $80,000 by 2024. Coinbase expects institutional investment in Bitcoin to remain the primary focus at least until the first half of 2024. The recent weekly inflow report further solidifies the belief that Bitcoin may reach its all-time high in the coming months of 2024.
