Coinbase Global (COIN) witnessed a surge in its shares (+16.65% for the week) as the company appeared to benefit from the tumultuous legal tribulations faced by Binance, the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange. Earlier in the week, Binance admitted to federal charges of money laundering, agreeing to a hefty penalty of $4.3 billion, with its founder and CEO, Changpeng Zhao - popularly known as CZ - acknowledging his guilt and announcing intentions to step down.
Recent trends indicate a significant surge in Coinbase's Bitcoin reserves, in stark contrast to the declining reserves noted at Binance. Analysts posit that the legal drama surrounding Binance may well strengthen Coinbase’s position, potentially clearing the path for the approval of a Bitcoin ETF by the U.S. regulator.
