Our take

Coinbase has built a reputation as one of the most accessible entry points into the world of cryptocurrency. With features like crypto wallets, direct bank account linking, and merchant payment tools, it's helping bring crypto into the mainstream. But the company isn't just relying on its early success, it's evolving fast to stay relevant in a rapidly changing market.

Lately, its doubled down on its focus on institutional clients, now serving as the custodian for the majority of approved Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs, and its Prime platform offers a full suite of services for hedge funds, asset managers, and financial institutions. As demand for regulated crypto products rise globally (particularly in Asia), Coinbase is ready to expand.

And it's even making moves to engage with younger audiences, having recently partnered with Riot Games to sponsor global eSports events for League of Legends and Valorant. This multi-year deal, commencing with the Valorant Masters in Toronto and the MSI 2025 tournament in Vancouver. This partnership highlights Coinbase's strategy to integrate Web3 technologies into mainstream entertainment, aiming to bridge the gap between gaming and cryptocurrency for a new generation of users.
