“The S&P 500 inclusion, the adoption of the Genius Act by the Senate and a very strong performance of Circle The wrong stories for Coinbase and people wake up, “Oppenheimer Analyst Owen Lau told CNBC.
Restrictions canceled
“The two things that hold back base were the problems of charging – it did not happen and in fact Coinbase has consistently achieved positive income, which is why they were included in the S&P 500 and the regulatory uncertainty,” he said. “Many people do not believe that there will be a consensus from the congress … The fact is that we see the adoption of the ingenious act.”
The Genius Act places the first federal framework for stable coins in dollars, which gives the finance of finance a comprehensive authority and opens the door, fintechs and retailers.

He said that the market does not completely combine the points with coinbases close relationship with the circle internet group. Circle made his debut on June 5 at the New York Stock Exchange and has increased by more than 500% since then.
According to a share contract, Coinbase holds 100% of the income that is achieved for everyone USDC Holded on Coinbase, plus almost 50% of all other USDC revenue, “what makes 99% of the circle of the current turnover of the circle,” said Ryan.

Another way to play

“In crypto there is clearly a emotional trade, since institutional investors want to look at the space for the first time and want to express a positive view of crypto that develop from a speculative wealth class to a benefit – with legislative clarity as a key catalyst – and coinbase is the direct way in investing in this thesis,” said Ryan.
Volume problem
If there is a concern, it is in the trade volume, said Oppenheimers Lau. The average daily volume of the crypto transactions on the Coinbase platform has been lower since April, which could be a risk for the company and other crypto trade providers that drive into the second half of the year.
The analyst is optimistic that the regulatory prospects can surround this, especially if the industry receives legislation on the market structure on StableCoin legislation.
“If the genius law has brought us to the 'StableCoin Summer', I think that the ultimate adoption of the Clarity Act can bring us to the Altcoin Summer,” said Lau. “At the end of this year I see another catalyst who can reverse this trend because there will be animal spirits.
