Coinbase acquires Cobie’s crypto fundraising platform Echo for $375M

Coinbase acquires Cobie’s crypto fundraising platform Echo for $375M

The post Coinbase acquires Cobie’s crypto fundraising platform Echo for $375M appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Coinbase has acquired Echo, the onchain capital formation platform founded by crypto investor Cobie, for approximately $375 million. The move underscores the exchange giant’s push to build compliant, blockchain-native fundraising infrastructure as onchain capital markets mature, according to Coinbase’s announcement.  Cobie reflected on the sale in a post, writing: “When I started building Echo two years ago, I knew it had a 95% chance of failing. To be honest, I couldn’t really imagine any other outcome, but I thought at least it may be a noble failure worth attempting.  “I certainly didn’t think Echo would be sold to Coinbase, but, here we are,” he added. Echo will remain a standalone platform under its existing brand while Coinbase integrates Sonar, Echo’s public sale product, into its ecosystem. The companies plan to expand access for founders and investors to onchain capital formation directly through Coinbase’s interface. On Monday, Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong revealed that the company also purchased Cobie’s original UpOnly NFT — the emblem of Cobie’s long-running crypto podcast — for $25 million, calling it “a piece of crypto culture worth preserving” in a tweet. The NFT will reportedly be displayed in Coinbase’s onchain heritage collection, though financial details have not been independently verified. Coinbase has made a handful of acquisitions so far this year. The exchange bought Deribit in a multi-billion dollar deal to expand into global derivatives trading, Blockworks reported. It also acquired the Opyn leadership team in July to strengthen its onchain markets stack, and acquired the founders of Sensible in September to develop consumer-friendly DeFi tools.

Best Crypto Presales to buy Strategy Buys the Bitcoin Dip Again

Best Crypto Presales to buy Strategy Buys the Bitcoin Dip Again

The post Best Crypto Presales to buy Strategy Buys the Bitcoin Dip Again appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Strategy (MSTR), the company that’s basically a publicly traded Bitcoin holding fund, is buying $BTC again. KEY POINTS:➡️ Strategy expanded its Bitcoin treasury to over 640K $BTC financed by stock issuance.➡️ Strategy’s stock is negative year-to-date, even though Bitcoin is up.➡️ New tokens Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER), PEPENODE ($PEPENODE), and BlockchainFX ($BFX) are gaining momentum thanks to unique offerings. According to a filing on Monday, October 20, the firm just snapped up another 168 $BTC at an average price of around $112K, a move that cost them $18.8M. This latest purchase isn’t just a drop in the bucket; it swells the company’s total Bitcoin treasury to a staggering 640,418 $BTC. Now worth around $71B. Even better for strategy shareholders, their average cost is still hovering around a bargain $74K. They financed the buy the usual way, by issuing various preferred shares and common stock. The timing is right in the middle of some classic crypto drama. Bitcoin had a wild ride recently, spiking over $115K on October 13 before tumbling all the way down to $103.5K just four days later. However, the Monday news followed a rebound, with $BTC climbing back to $111K, which gave MSTR shares a nice 3% bump in pre-market trading, pushing them near $300. Despite that pop, the stock has struggled this year. It’s actually negative year-to-date, even though Bitcoin is up. This had led to a major shift in performance for the other big player, the BlackRock iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT). The MSTR/IBIT ratio is now at 4.74, its lowest point since late 2024. Simply put, for the past year, investors betting on the ETF have been having a better time than those holding Strategy’s stock. 1. Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER): $BTC’s Speed Boost Using $BTC for anything fast is painful. Even more so in a world…

Citi Bank: Stablecoins Could Reach $3.7 Trillion by 2030

Citi Bank: Stablecoins Could Reach $3.7 Trillion by 2030

According to the latest report from Citi Bank, stablecoins are steadily becoming the core infrastructure for payments and value storage in the decentralized finance era, with the market projected to reach $1.6 trillion (base case) to $3.7 trillion (bull case) by 2030. Wall Street is identifying the next major growth catalyst for digital assets – and it’s stablecoins.  Stablecoins – The Bridge Between Traditional Finance and the On-chain World  Citi’s Identified Growth Drivers Stablecoin market capitalization has surged from $8 billion in 2020 to $188 billion in 2022, and is expected to reach around $234 billion by 2025, and the enactment of the GENIUS Act in July.   This number is increasing year by year and there is continuous good news from the government as well as the market, along with careful research, leading Citi believes stablecoins are entering a new phase of evolution.Transforming from a trading instrument within crypto into a global payment layer that bridges traditional finance and blockchain systems.  Learn more: What Happened To The Crypto Today? Stablecoins – The Bridge Between Traditional Finance and the On-chain World – Source: Federal Reserve Bank The report highlights several key growth drivers: Partial substitution of USD cash holdings, as individuals and companies in volatile economies increasingly use stablecoins as an accessible “safe haven.” Reallocation of short term liquidity from bank deposits and money market funds (MMFs) to stablecoins, thanks to their 24/7 cross border payment capabilities. Expansion in non USD markets, particularly in Europe and the U.K., even as USD backed stablecoins are expected to maintain around 90% market dominance. Growth alongside public cryptocurrency markets, as stablecoins continue to serve as payment intermediaries, on/off ramps, and collateral in DeFi.  Stablecoins and CBDCs: A Multipolar Financial System Citi compares the development of stablecoins to the evolution of the card industry. Initially dominated by global networks (Visa, Mastercard), later followed by national payment systems (such as RuPay in India and Pix in Brazil) established to protect monetary. All of this could create a multipolar financial landscape where private stablecoins and public CBDCs coexist and compete, especially in wholesale and corporate payments.  What Could Make or Break the Stablecoin Market Erin McCune, founder of Forte FinTech, believes that stablecoins could grow 5-10 times their current size if three key conditions are met: Regulatory clarity and support in major markets such as the U.S., Europe, Latin America, and Africa. Public and corporate confidence in the 1:1 convertibility between stablecoins and fiat currencies. Collaboration between traditional banks and stablecoin issuers to integrate new payment technologies into existing financial infrastructure. However, McCune also warns that if a major depegging event or reserve failure occurs, the market could stagnate around $300-500 billion, confined to crypto trading and a few remittance corridors. Stablecoins Set to Reshape Global Payments Citi forecasts that over the next decade, stablecoins will move far beyond their current use in crypto trading and DeFi, gradually integrating into mainstream financial operations. At present, crypto and DeFi trading account for around 90-95% of total stablecoin activity. Even as the market matures, trading both retail and DeFi, will likely remain a major use case.  One promising area is corporate and B2B payments, as businesses adopt stablecoins to pay cross-border suppliers and manage treasury, especially in emerging markets where the traditional banking system remains slow and expensive.  Consumer remittances also present strong potential, as stablecoins can lower transfer fees and settlement times compared to existing remittance systems. A meaningful advantage in the nearly $1 trillion global remittance market. Additional applications are also a big opportunity. In institutional trading and capital markets, where stablecoins can streamline securities settlement and money transfers, and in interbank liquidity management, as banks explore blockchain-based solutions to optimize real-time cash flows.  Citi concludes that this ongoing diversification signals a fundamental shift. Stablecoins are evolving from niche trading instruments to a core layer of digital financial infrastructure, linking blockchain-based systems with traditional forms of global payments.  The post Citi Bank: Stablecoins Could Reach $3.7 Trillion by 2030 appeared first on NFT Plazas.
