Big headline just dropped, and itβs juicy:
β’ π Effective Monday, May 20 β Coinbase (COIN) enters the S&P 500
β’ π Replacing Discover Financial, which is being acquired by Capital One
β’ π Stock jumped 9%+ after-hours, now around $225
β’ πΌ Market cap: $50.8 billion
β’ π₯ First time a pure crypto player makes it into the S&P 500
β’ π¦ Institutions will now have to buy COIN to track the index
β’ π₯ Crypto is no longer the outsider β itβs crashing the Wall Street party
Cheeky thought:
The same folks who once called crypto a fad will now be forced to hold COIN in their retirement portfolios. Gotta love how the market humbles everyone eventually!
Trade Idea?
Might be worth a look at short-dated bullish spreads or LEAPS if you think this inclusion will fuel more inflows. Just saying⦠you can watch about how I do spreads on the previous live webinar
More action coming. Stay tuned.
