I've told clients out there — both institutional and retail — if you want to play crypto, go out and buy crypto assets.\"\nChoppiness in shares of Coinbase spilled over to bitcoin (BTC-USD) as well. The largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization fell about 1% Thursday after to trade below $63,000, retreating from its record high of more than $64,800 reached just a day earlier. Ethereum (ETH-USD), however, jumped to a record high, rising more than 3% to top $2,400.\nThe logo for Coinbase Global Inc, the biggest U.S. cryptocurrency exchange, is displayed on the Nasdaq MarketSite jumbotron and others at Times Square in New York, U.S., April 14, 2021. REUTERS/Shannon Stapleton\nBut recent volatility aside, many strategists maintained that Coinbase's public debut marked a watershed moment for cryptocurrency, reflecting the culmination of months of accelerating institutional adoption. Companies including Tesla(TSLA),Square(SQ),BNY Mellon(BNY) and PayPal(PYPL) have either added significant holdings of bitcoin to their balance sheets or begun facilitating transactions in cryptocurrencies, and legacy banksMorgan Stanley(MS) andGoldman Sachs(GS) recently announced they would begin offering bitcoin exposure to their wealth management clients. And while the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has not yet approved exchange-traded funds directly holding bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies,many believe a change in stanceis looming.\n\"This is the beginning of what I consider the new financial system. Coinbase is the leader here in building this new financial system. Clearly, it's evolved to a point where there's no turning back,\" Ross Gerber, president and CEO at Gerber Kawasaki Wealth and Investment Management, told Yahoo Finance. \"This is just a momentous moment for the crypto business and industry, and finance in general, as an entirely new set of leaders.\nHowever, with increased interest has also come the threat of competition. Coinbase makes the vast majority of its money via transaction fees from trades on its platform by retail and institutional users, and relies heavily on retail trading.\n\"Everybody's going to undercut Coinbase,\" added Gerber, whose firm has a partnership with Coinbase competitor Gemini. \"Ninety percent of their revenues are from the retail trader paying over 2% in commissions. It's an absurd amount. But it's an unregulated market with no competition.\"\n\"It's possible that [Coinbase's] margins are at the all-time high right now compared to what's going to happen over the next several years as real competitors like Gemini and Bittrex and Binance undercut them in costs,\" he added.\nCoinbase's revenue for the year ended Dec. 31 more than doubled to $1.3 billion. On the bottom line, Coinbase swung to a profit of $322.3 million for the full year 2020, versus a net loss of $30.4 million in 2019. For the first quarter of fiscal 2021,Coinbase estimated it would post net incomeof between $730 million and $800 million, compared to net income of just $32.26 million in the first three months of 2020.","kind":null,"is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":true,"is_publish_live":null,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":1},"commentList":[{"id":379661250,"gmtCreate":1618729775370,"gmtModify":1704714409990,"author":{"id":"3581749246947141","authorId":"3581749246947141","name":"JeffreySeow","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","vip":1,"crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"htmlText":"Coinbase indeed is growing very fast...

Companies including Tesla(TSLA),Square(SQ),BNY Mellon(BNY) and PayPal(PYPL) have either added significant holdings of bitcoin to their balance sheets or begun facilitating transactions in cryptocurrencies, and legacy banksMorgan Stanley(MS) andGoldman Sachs(GS) recently announced they would begin offering bitcoin exposure to their wealth management clients. And while the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has not yet approved exchange-traded funds directly holding bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies,many believe a change in stanceis looming.\n\"This is the beginning of what I consider the new financial system. Coinbase is the leader here in building this new financial system. Clearly, it's evolved to a point where there's no turning back,\" Ross Gerber, president and CEO at Gerber Kawasaki Wealth and Investment Management, told Yahoo Finance. \"This is just a momentous moment for the crypto business and industry, and finance in general, as an entirely new set of leaders.\nHowever, with increased interest has also come the threat of competition. Coinbase makes the vast majority of its money via transaction fees from trades on its platform by retail and institutional users, and relies heavily on retail trading.\n\"Everybody's going to undercut Coinbase,\" added Gerber, whose firm has a partnership with Coinbase competitor Gemini. \"Ninety percent of their revenues are from the retail trader paying over 2% in commissions. It's an absurd amount. But it's an unregulated market with no competition.\"\n\"It's possible that [Coinbase's] margins are at the all-time high right now compared to what's going to happen over the next several years as real competitors like Gemini and Bittrex and Binance undercut them in costs,\" he added.\nCoinbase's revenue for the year ended Dec. 31 more than doubled to $1.3 billion. On the bottom line, Coinbase swung to a profit of $322.3 million for the full year 2020, versus a net loss of $30.4 million in 2019. For the first quarter of fiscal 2021,Coinbase estimated it would post net incomeof between $730 million and $800 million, compared to net income of just $32.26 million in the first three months of 2020.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"langContent":"EN"},{"id":370106169,"gmtCreate":1618559368451,"gmtModify":1704712715864,"author":{"id":"3579167848320394","authorId":"3579167848320394","name":"Juliantotans","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8ef95ca83ff749e3e3273525996642c1","vip":1,"crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"htmlText":"good news","listText":"good news","text":"good news","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/370106169","repostId":1130533623,"repostType":2,"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"comments":[{"id":4051458,"gmtCreate":1618559381879,"gmtModify":1680784310648,"authorId":3579167848320394,"author":{"id":3579167848320394,"authorId":3579167848320394,"name":"Juliantotans","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8ef95ca83ff749e3e3273525996642c1","vip":1,"crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"individualDisplayBadges":[]},"repliedAuthorId":0,"objectId":370106169,"type":1,"supId":0,"prevId":0,"content":"<p>yes</p>","text":"<p>yes</p>","html":"<p>yes</p>"}],"langContent":"EN"},{"id":370359754,"gmtCreate":1618555430378,"gmtModify":1704712670474,"author":{"id":"3574939383328580","authorId":"3574939383328580","name":"JaNice","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","vip":1,"crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"htmlText":"Good read","listText":"Good read","text":"Good read","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/370359754","repostId":1130533623,"repostType":4,"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"comments":[{"id":4066482,"gmtCreate":1618748748214,"gmtModify":1680784538324,"authorId":3574939383328580,"author":{"id":3574939383328580,"authorId":3574939383328580,"name":"JaNice","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","vip":1,"crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"individualDisplayBadges":[]},"repliedAuthorId":0,"objectId":370359754,"type":1,"supId":4057335,"prevId":0,"content":"Yea","text":"Yea","html":"Yea"},{"id":4057335,"gmtCreate":1618622350531,"gmtModify":1680784396374,"authorId":3572949737859102,"author":{"id":3572949737859102,"authorId":3572949737859102,"name":"Deont","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b69cb3aef6e3479f1dd8cb3e0eda4f60","vip":1,"crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"individualDisplayBadges":[]},"repliedAuthorId":0,"objectId":370359754,"type":1,"supId":0,"prevId":0,"content":"Yes","text":"Yes","html":"Yes"}],"langContent":"EN"},{"id":370367034,"gmtCreate":1618553841328,"gmtModify":1704712652042,"author":{"id":"3561975721283567","authorId":"3561975721283567","name":"WTurtle","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f365603f5d6014baec364bc1bdd93afd","vip":1,"crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"htmlText":"I’m in are you?","listText":"I’m in are you?","text":"I’m in are you?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/370367034","repostId":1130533623,"repostType":4,"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"langContent":"EN"},{"id":370362797,"gmtCreate":1618553636619,"gmtModify":1704712648810,"author":{"id":"3574252639453979","authorId":"3574252639453979","name":"luvnotwar","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","vip":1,"crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"htmlText":"To the moon&nbsp;","listText":"To the moon&nbsp;","text":"To the moon","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/370362797","repostId":1130533623,"repostType":4,"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"langContent":"EN"},{"id":370387104,"gmtCreate":1618552834108,"gmtModify":1704712638280,"author":{"id":"3562559237461627","authorId":"3562559237461627","name":"AhSon","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/93b572e6d31fbbe91fbc1aeca083aee9","vip":1,"crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"htmlText":"In Bitcoin we believe!&nbsp;","listText":"In Bitcoin we believe!&nbsp;","text":"In Bitcoin we believe!","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/370387104","repostId":1130533623,"repostType":4,"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"langContent":"EN"}],"hasMoreComments":true,"newsSizeData":{"likeSize":10,"commentSize":6,"repostSize":0,"favoriteSize":0,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false}}
