Coinbase Stock Jumps as Bitcoin and Crypto Prices Rebound

Coinbase Global Inc (NASDAQ: COIN) shares saw a strong boost on Monday afternoon as major cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and XRP rallied, sparking renewed interest in crypto-related stocks.

Bitcoin prices climbed around 2% to reach $88,500. Ethereum followed with a 5% gain, while XRP surged by 9%. This bounce comes after a rough patch last week when most digital assets faced significant selling pressure. The rise in crypto prices is helping lift Coinbase shares because the company makes money from trading activity on its platform.

As Bitcoin prices go up, investors feel more confident and are more likely to trade. More trading means more fees for Coinbase, which earns a percentage from every transaction. Even if the number of trades stays the same, the total dollar value of those trades increases when crypto prices are higher—leading to more revenue for Coinbase.

Last week, when Bitcoin dropped more than 6%, Coinbase’s stock also fell as investors worried about reduced trading volumes and potential losses from forced selling. But now, with Bitcoin rebounding, those concerns are fading. The broader stock market is also rallying on hopes that the Federal Reserve might cut interest rates soon, which is good news for risky assets like crypto.

Coinbase is often seen as a way to invest in the success of Bitcoin without actually buying the cryptocurrency itself. When Bitcoin does well, Coinbase tends to benefit even more because it operates like a high-risk version of Bitcoin’s performance in the stock market.

According to recent stock rankings, Coinbase has a very strong Growth score of 95.62, showing long-term potential despite its lower Momentum score of 20.73, which reflects recent market swings.

As of Monday afternoon, Coinbase shares were up 6.77%, trading at $256.44.
