Coinbase shines

The Coinbase $COIN (+11,04%) stock recently soared impressively after the US Senate passed the GENIUS Act. This bipartisan bill promotes and regulates the use of stablecoins, which is seen by investors as a big step in the right direction. This legislation not only provides Coinbase with legal clarity, but also allows it to take its stablecoin business to the next level. On Wednesday, Coinbase also introduced an exciting new product called Coinbase Payments, which allows users to make payments with stablecoins on various trading platforms. As a result of this positive news, the stock jumped an impressive 16% to around USD 295, showing a 19% increase in value since the beginning of the year, significantly outperforming the overall S&P 500 increase of only around 2%.

After a decline in April, Coinbase shares have been trending positively and consolidating in a flag pattern, indicating a possible continuation of the uptrend. On Wednesday, the stock broke out of this pattern, supported by a rise in the relative strength index and the highest trading volume in over a month. Investors should keep an eye on two important price levels: around USD 330 and USD 450, while support levels lie at USD 265 and USD 212. A close above USD 330 could signal further gains towards USD 450 and keep investors optimistic.

Marathon Petroleum in focus

Marathon Petroleum $M1PC34 is a major integrated company in the downstream energy sector in the USA. It operates through three main segments: Refining & Marketing, Midstream and Renewable Diesel. The Refining & Marketing segment refines crude oil and other feedstocks at the company's refineries located on the Gulf Coast, Mid-Continent and West Coast of the United States. Products are marketed both domestically and internationally and include transportation fuels and petrochemicals.

The Midstream segment is responsible for the gathering, transportation, storage and distribution of crude oil and refined products, including the production of renewable diesel. The Renewable Diesel segment processes sustainable raw materials into diesel fuel and distributes it via the Midstream segment and third-party suppliers. Marathon Petroleum, founded in 1887, is based in Findlay, Ohio, and plays a central role in energy supply and processing in the USA.

Coinbase applies for SEC approval for tokenized shares

The listed crypto exchange Coinbase has applied to the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for approval to offer tokenized shares to its customers.

If the move is approved, the company could offer share trading via blockchain technology, compete with retail brokers and open up a new business segment. Representatives of Coinbase rate the initiative as a high priority for the company. The SEC did not comment further on the announcement, and it is not known whether Coinbase has already made an official application or when a proposal might be published.

Tokenized equity

The concept represents a process in which company shares are tokenized, similar to crypto trading. However, instead of holding the securities directly, investors own tokens that represent ownership of the securities.

Proponents of the idea said tokenized shares could reduce costs, enable faster settlement times and facilitate round-the-clock trading. Critics, on the other hand, say the concept has gaps that need to be addressed. The World Economic Forum mentioned in a report that sufficient liquidity on the secondary market and a clear global standard are required for the introduction of tokenized shares.

Tokenized shares are not currently a viable trading option in the US, although several companies, including competitors, are experimenting with the idea. For example, crypto exchange Kraken announced the launch of xStocks in partnership with Backed and the Solana Foundation. xStocks are tokens of US stocks that will be available on certain markets outside the US.

In order to offer this new service, Coinbase would need to obtain a no-action letter or exemption from the SEC. This means that the regulator would pledge not to take enforcement action should Coinbase implement the plan. In most cases, companies that offer securities trading must be registered as broker-dealers. Coinbase is not registered as such, and the regulator sued the company in 2023 for allegedly acting as such without the required registration. The SEC dropped the case this year under President Donald Trump's administration.

The idea comes as Trump attempts to reform US crypto policy after courting money from the industry during the election campaign. The US president appointed industry-friendly regulators and hosted industry representatives at the White House. Cryptocurrencies reacted positively, with Bitcoin reaching new all-time highs this year.

JPMorgan tests deposit token on a blockchain linked to Coinbase

JPMorgan Chase has launched a pilot program for a token representing dollar deposits, suggesting that financial institutions are venturing into the digital asset space.

Representatives from JPMorgan announced that the company would transfer a fixed amount of JPMD tokens from the bank's digital wallet to Coinbase Global, one of the largest cryptocurrency exchanges in the US, in the coming days.

Token issuance and transfer on Coinbase's base blockchain

The issuance and transfer of these tokens will take place via Base, a public blockchain connected to Coinbase, and will be denominated in US dollars. After this transfer, institutional customers of Coinbase have the option to use these deposit tokens for transactions.

JPMorgan (JPM) plans to run a pilot program for several months before potentially expanding to additional users and currency units, subject to regulatory approvals. Officials pointed out that deposit tokens are a "superior alternative to stablecoins" for institutional clients, as they are based on fractional banking and thus offer greater scalability.

In the future, deposit tokens such as JPMD could also be interest-bearing and protected by deposit insurance, which distinguishes them from current stablecoins.

In late Tuesday trading, shares of JPMorgan Chase (JPM) were down 0.4%, while Coinbase (COIN) was down 3.1%. This coincided with a 1.5% drop in Bitcoin (BTC-USD) to USD 105,200.

Further developments from JPMorgan

In June 2025, JPMorgan entered into a partnership with Conferma, a provider of virtual card technology.

The updated integration of Conferma into the JPMorgan Payments Partner Network enabled EU-based businesses to issue and manage virtual cards more effectively. This collaboration enabled the use of multiple currencies and increased flexibility, allowing for the modernization of payments across the region. With the increasing demand for faster and more secure payment solutions, the adoption of virtual cards is growing rapidly, with 88% of businesses currently using or considering using them.

Coinbase launches the Coinbase One Card, which offers bitcoin cashback and no trading fees, while Shopify enables payment with the USDC stablecoin. Best Wallet is positioning itself with its upcoming Best Card to capitalize on increasing crypto adoption in everyday life.

Crypto exchange Coinbase has announced that it will launch its Coinbase One Card later this fall.

Offered in partnership with American Express, the card offers up to 4% bitcoin cashback and no trading fees (with a spread for the first $500 per month), among other benefits.

According to the Coinbase One Card website, you can sign up for early access, and you'll be notified when applications start.

There are also no foreign transaction fees, and you can redeem your balance with your linked bank account or with crypto on Coinbase.

Given the current context of increasing adoption, such payment solutions are increasingly becoming the norm. This puts Best Wallets planned Best Card in an excellent position to capitalize on the growing demand for crypto cards for real-world transactions.

Shopify will accept $USDC payments

Meanwhile, e-commerce platform Shopify has partnered with Coinbase and Stripe to allow shoppers to pay with the $USDC stablecoin. This option will be available in 34 countries in the coming weeks.

This will also be beneficial for Shopify merchants as they will be able to receive stablecoin payments in their preferred local currency directly into their bank accounts.

Big tech companies also want to accept crypto

Shopify isn't the only tech company aiming for greater crypto adoption. Big names in the industry such as Google, Meta and Apple are also in talks with crypto companies about integrating stablecoins.

If these talks are successful, we expect to see more and more people using crypto. Imagine average people using digital currencies to buy their next iPhone, purchase an app from the Google Play Store or buy a Facebook ad - that's the kind of future we may be facing.

And Beste Wallet is banking on this trend with its upcoming Beste Card for crypto payments. With the Beste Wallet token in pre-sale, strengthening the entire ecosystem with lower fees, this decentralized wallet is likely to become the one-stop shop for new crypto users.

Coinbase ($COIN (+11,04%) ) and the crypto market mainly rise in phases of expansionary monetary policy by the FED. The restrictive monetary policy (high interest rates, shrinking of the balance sheet) as we have seen from 2022 onwards is capping the market. A return to a more expansive monetary policy could trigger a further rise in the crypto market and thus also at Coinbase.

Restrictive monetary policy from the central bank's perspective:

• Allow bonds to be sold or expire and retain the proceeds
• Interest rates rise

➔ Liquidity moves towards safe investments, which now generate higher returns

Expansive monetary policy from the central bank's perspective:

• Extensive purchase of government bonds and securities
• Interest rates fall

➔ Liquidity moves towards riskier investments

History:

2019-2021: Massive expansion of monetary policy due to COVID crisis

Result: Bitcoin and the crypto market rise en masse, Coinbase goes public in 2021

exchange at the peak of liquidity in the market.

2022: Start of the interest rate turnaround & a rapidly developing restrictive monetary policy

Result: Bitcoin and the crypto market fall

Current status:

We are still in a phase of restrictive monetary policy. The FED interest rate stands at 4.5% (as of June 25). The FED balance sheet is in a phase of contraction or sideways movement.

sideways movement. A return to an expansive monetary policy is currently not in sight.

in sight.

Why I see a lot of potential in the Coinbase share:

Should the FED feel compelled by future events to return to a drastically expansive monetary policy, then risky assets such as crypto would experience increased demand.

Coinbase could thus benefit disproportionately from the crypto market

Among other things, the company benefits from

• Trading volume
• Market interest among the general public and thus access to new customers
• Trading

The effect on Coinbase would be, among other things

• Speculation & trading increases
• Increased influx of new customers
• The trading volume explodes

My conclusion:

What we have seen so far in this bull cycle is only a foretaste of what is yet to

restrictive monetary policy is only a foretaste of what could still happen at Coinbase and the individual currencies. It will take some time for interest rates to fall back to 0-2% and for the Fed to be forced to loosen its monetary policy, but those who have the patience to wait will, in my opinion, benefit from this.

IMPORTANT: NO INVESTMENT ADVICE. Please do your own analysis and do not blindly

not blindly trust the analyses of others.

The crypto sector may be on the brink of a new golden era. On Monday, the US Senate voted with a clear majority in favor of moving forward with a groundbreaking stablecoin bill. According to Matt Hougan, CIO of Bitwise, this move could pave the way for a multi-year bull market in digital assets. He even compared the development to a "marriage of Wall Street and crypto".

The senators voted 66 to 32 in favor of continuing the so-called GENIUS Act. Even 16 Democrats, who had expressed their opposition last week, changed their minds and signaled cross-party support. Leading figures in the crypto industry and lawmakers celebrated the vote as a "historic victory" that could help "secure the dominance of the US dollar". However, before the bill can be finally passed, possible amendments still need to be approved and a final vote held after this procedural vote.

"The politicians in Washington did the right thing," Hougan wrote in a message to his clients late on Tuesday. "I don't want to call the day before the night, but it looks like we'll have the first full-fledged crypto bill in the US by the summer."

Bigger than Bitcoin ETFs?

Aside from the approval of spot Bitcoin ETFs in January 2024, this is the most significant regulatory milestone in the history of cryptocurrencies, according to Hougan. Possibly even more significant.

However, there are also critical voices. Some warn that the Stablecoin Act could create a backdoor for a central bank digital currency (CBDC). Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren also criticized the bill for ignoring President Trump's crypto connections and family ties to World Liberty Financial's USD1 stablecoin.

A 2.5 trillion dollar market within reach

The GENIUS Act would require full coverage of stablecoins by US government bonds and dollar equivalents and introduce provisions for foreign issuers. Issuers with a market capitalization of over USD 50 billion would also be required to register with federal banking regulators and undergo annual audits. Stablecoin issuers would also have to implement anti-money laundering (AML) regulations for their tokens.

Stablecoins, one of the "killer apps" in the crypto space, have already reached a market capitalization of over USD 236 billion, according to data from The Block. However, they have long existed in a regulatory gray area, noted the Bitwise CIO. The new law would now give them state weight and allow major banks to issue stablecoins, as well as merchants to accept them.

"With these protections, I expect this to be a 2.5 trillion dollar market in no time," Hougan predicted. "Close your eyes and imagine a world where JPMorgan and Bank of America issue stablecoins, where Amazon gives you a two percent discount if you pay with stablecoins instead of Visa, and where it's as common to accept stablecoins as Venmo or PayPal. That's the world we'll soon be living in."

"A truly ingenious move"

For Hougan, stablecoins are just the beginning. Once the transfer of dollars via blockchain networks is normalized and some of the world's largest financial institutions participate, it will only be a small step to move stocks, bonds and other financial assets via the same rails.

"This is the fundamental thesis for investing in non-bitcoin crypto-assets like Ethereum, Solana and the like: that over 100 trillion dollars of financial assets will eventually move through blockchains. The passage of this bill gets that ball rolling," Hougan said. "A truly brilliant move."

CONCLUSION

Matt Hougan's statements carry weight. If the Stablecoin Act is actually passed in this form, it could trigger a new wave of adoption and capital inflow into the crypto sector. Investors stay on board.

Back in April, when Donald Trump caused the stock markets to plummet, the crypto market remained stable and showed relative strength compared to other asset classes. With the recovery of the global stock markets, Bitcoin also made strong gains and once again established itself above the USD 100,000 mark. In the course of the recovery, shares in the segment benefited, above all the crypto exchange Coinbase. Since the low for the year on April 8, Coinbase has recorded a hefty gain of over 86% to USD 266.46. This has enabled Coinbase shares to sustainably break the downward trend that has been in place since December 2024. The breakout and support from the indicators point to a new all-time high of USD 349.49.

The company led by CEO Brian Armstrong was able to announce a milestone last week. Coinbase Global will become part of the S&P 500, replacing Discover Financial Services in the broad US market index from May 19. The index change is related to the planned takeover of Discover by Capital One Financial. The transaction volume amounts to USD 35.3 billion. If the merger is completed as planned on May 18, it will create the sixth largest bank in the USA. As a result, Discover will be removed from the S&P 500.

Coinbase is also planning to acquire Deribit Plattform. The Dubai-based company is the world's largest exchange for Bitcoin and Ether futures and options in terms of trading volume. The takeover price is expected to amount to USD 2.9 billion. Coinbase's market capitalization has risen to USD 67.87 billion in recent weeks.
