En el Radar Empresarial de hoy analizamos la salida a Bolsa de Coinbase: la mayor empresa de criptomonedas del mundo se estrena hoy en el S&P 500. Esto es un hito dentro del mundo cripto ya que es la primera compañía de este mundillo en entrar en el Standard and Poor's. La noticia hizo que el pasado 13 de mayo sus acciones subieran un 24%. Lejos eso sí, quedan sus máximos de 340 dólares, en plena fiebre por los cripto activos que desató la victoria de Donald Trump. De hecho, su entrada se puede entender desde los cambios desatados por la Administración Trump: con él se produjo la llegada de Paul Atkins. La Comisión de Bolsa y Valores siempre había sido muy reacia a la incorporación de empresas cripto a la Bolsa y sobre ellas siempre pendía una regulación que muchas consideraban como “hostil”. La llegada de Atkins trae un soplo de aire fresco a estas compañías. De hecho, empresas como Gemini, Bit Go o el exchange Kraken se están preparando para su salida a Bolsa este año. Las malas noticias le han llegado a Coinbase en forma de ciberseguridad. El jueves un grupo de hackers sobornaron a empleados de atención al cliente para sacar información para conseguir datos de los usuarios de la empresa. Ahora los piratas informáticos exigen 20 millones de dólares para que los datos de más de 10.000 usuarios no salgan a la luz. Tal y como le dijo la empresa a la Comisión de Bolsa y Valores el ataque le podría costar entre 150 y 400 millones de euros. Brian Armstrong. Mayo ha sido un mes muy movido para la compañía, ya que a principios de mes anunció la compra del grupo dubaití Deribit por 2.900 millones de dólares. Es la mayor operación realizada en el mercado digital. Greg Tusar, director de producto institucional de Coinbase, afirmaba entonces que “las criptomonedas están a punto de experimentar una expansión significativa”. Coinbase es una plataforma de comercio de criptomonedas con sede en San Francisco, California. Gestiona activos digitales en 190 países en todo el mundo. La compañía fue fundada en 2012 por Brian Armstrong y Fred Ehrsam y solo dos años después la plataforma creció a un millón de usuarios. Uno de sus problemas más recurrentes es también bastante irónico: los usuarios siempre se han quejado del departamento de Aten

De cryptomarkt staat er uitstekend voor deze week. Bitcoin blijft stevig boven de psychologische grens van 100.000 dollar, met een huidige koers rond de 102.000 dollar. Beleggers kijken nu gespannen uit naar een mogelijke nieuwe all-time high, met het vorige record van 109.000 dollar in zicht. Ook Ethereum presteert momenteel sterk, met een koerssprong van 1800 dollar naar 2700 dollar, wat suggereert dat de bodem mogelijk gevonden is voor de op één na grootste cryptocurrency. Ondertussen treedt Coinbase toe tot de prestigieuze S&P 500-index, ter vervanging van Discover Financial Services. Het aandeel van de Amerikaanse cryptobeurs schoot direct 24% omhoog, de scherpste stijging sinds de dag na Donald Trumps verkiezingsoverwinning. Om in aanmerking te komen voor de S&P 500 moet een bedrijf winst rapporteren in het laatste kwartaal en cumulatieve winst over de vier meest recente kwartalen. Coinbase rapporteerde een netto-inkomen van 65,6 miljoen dollar en een omzet van 2,03 miljard dollar, een stijging van 24% ten opzichte van vorig jaar. Naast deze mijlpaal kondigde Coinbase plannen aan om het origineel Nederlandse Deribit over te nemen voor 2,9 miljard dollar. Deribit is 's werelds grootste cryptobeurs voor opties, en de overname – de grootste deal in de crypto-industrie tot nu toe – stelt Coinbase in staat om zijn derivatenactiviteiten uit te breiden en zijn voetafdruk buiten de VS te vergroten. De Bitcoin Treasury Company-strategie, bedacht door Michael Saylor van MicroStrategy, krijgt navolging. Strive Asset Management heeft aangekondigd Bitcoin als reserveactiva te gaan gebruiken en via een fusie met Asset Entities naar de Nasdaq te gaan. Door deze aankondiging steeg de aandelenkoers van Asset Entities met liefst 450%. Strive's plannen weerspiegelen de strategie van MicroStrategy, dat inmiddels ongeveer 555.500 Bitcoin bezit, ter waarde van rond de 52 miljard dollar. Het bedrijf heeft GameStop aangemoedigd om dezelfde aanpak te volgen, en hoewel de videogameretailer de stap heeft goedgekeurd, heeft het nog geen Bitcoin aangekocht. Volgens Strive CEO Matt Cole staan "minder dan 1% van de beursgenoteerde bedrijven" momenteel Bitcoin op de balans. Vanuit het Verenigd Koninkrijk komt het nieuws dat GFO-X een handelsplatform heeft gelanceerd voor centraal geclearde digitale activaderivaten.

Deze week werd gedomineerd door Coinbase. De Amerikaanse exchange maakte namelijk bekend dat ze opgenomen worden in de S&P500. Daarnaast namen ze de Nederlandse derivatenbeurs Deribit over voor $2,9 miljard. Maar hoe komt het eigenlijk dat ze zelf zo weinig bitcoin bezitten? Daarnaast geven we je een update over de op_return discussie en een nieuwe bitcoin mining pool. We denken ook na over de vraag hoe je kan profiteren van stablecoins.

Shoppen mit Krypto? Stripe macht's möglich – und das direkt in 101 Ländern. Das Potenzial? Gigantisch! Warum, hört ihr in dieser Folge von Alles Coin, Nichts Muss. Außerdem sprechen Julius Nagel und Florian Adomeit darüber, warum sich Coinbases Mega-Übernahme von Deribit als echtes Schnäppchen entpuppen könnte, weshalb Aktienhandel auf der Blockchain womöglich schneller kommt als gedacht – und warum Ethereum diese Woche zu den Top-Performern gehörte. Last but not least diskutieren Julius und Flo, ob Worldcoin das Zeug zum Super-Appstore der Web3-Welt hat oder der Hype um das Sidehustle von OpenAI-Boss Sam Altman nur viel heiße Luft ist.

On Thursday, Coinbase announced its acquisition of Deribit in a $2.9 billion deal, the largest merger in the crypto industry to date. In this episode, Owen Lau, executive director and senior analyst at Oppenheimer, delves into why Deribit was such a coveted prize, what this deal means for the global derivatives landscape, and how Coinbase is using its position as a public company to cement its dominance. Plus: The importance of Coinbase paying mostly in stock and barely touching its cash How the derivatives market dwarfs spot trading, and is only getting bigger What this means for CME and smaller crypto exchanges And how Base, Coinbase's L2, fits into the long game Visit our website for breaking news, analysis, op-eds, articles to learn about crypto, and much more: unchainedcrypto.com Thank you to our sponsors!

In this roundup, we cover a milestone moment in crypto and markets. Bitcoin breaks through the $100,000 mark, which may reflect macro tailwinds. Coinbase makes waves with its $2.9B acquisition of Deribit, cementing its push into global crypto derivatives. We also unpack Ethereum's Pectra upgrade—a technical upgrade that introduces key changes to validator operations, increases staking efficiency, and adds long-awaited UX improvements like “Social Recovery” via smart contract wallets. Further, we analyze whether Pectra could catalyze a broader Ether comeback. Elsewhere, New Hampshire becomes the first U.S. state to pass a crypto reserve law, which may serve as a policy template nationwide.

Con Ignacio Vacchiano, country manager en Iberia de Leverage Shares, analizamos la actualidad del mercado, donde destaca sobre todo ese acuerdo comercial entre Reino Unido y Estados Unidos. Sobre esto, el analista opina que “el acuerdo con Reino Unido era relativamente fácil, ahora vienen los más difíciles”. Además, sobre las posibles acuerdos que pueda tener la administración Trump con Reino Unido, el economista opina que “espero que el la Unión Europea negocie en bloque”. Todas estas noticias afectan y mucho al movimiento y a las cotizaciones de todas las divisas. En este caso, Vacchiano destaca que “el dólar se revalorizó sobre la libra y sobre el euro”. También le ayudó la decisión de tipos del Banco de Inglaterra y el comportamiento del Banco Central Europeo, cuyas previsiones pasan por seguir bajando tipos. En una semana repleta de resultados, hay un nombre que destacó sobre el resto en el día de ayer: Coinbase. La plataforma estadounidense de criptomonedas llegó a un acuerdo para adquirir el grupo dubaití Deribit por 2.900 millones de dólares. Es la mayor operación dentro del mundo digital. A pesar de esto presentó resultados por debajo de lo previsto. Sobre esto, el analista piensa que “el mercado al final con la noticia de la compra solventaba un poco el tema”.

On Thursday, Coinbase announced its acquisition of Deribit in a $2.9 billion deal, the largest merger in the crypto industry to date.

Crypto dealmaking sees notable activity. Coinbase plans to acquire derivatives exchange Deribit for $2.9 billion, the largest deal in the crypto sector, comprising $700 million in cash and 11 million shares of Coinbase stock. This acquisition aims to enhance Coinbase's position in the crypto options market and integrate with Deribit to influence crypto markets. The trend of mergers and acquisitions continues in the industry, driven by the re-election of President Donald Trump and expectations for relaxed regulations. Ripple intends to acquire brokerage firm Hidden Road for $1.25 billion after a legal case against them ended. Cryptocurrency exchange Kraken aims to acquire retail futures trading platform NinjaTrader for $1.5 billion. Venture funding for crypto and blockchain startups reached $3.8 billion in Q1 across 220 deals, up from $1.6 billion in the previous quarter.

De Amerikaanse beurswaakhond SEC lijkt de cryptosector een stuk vriendelijker tegemoet te treden dan voorheen. Waarnemend voorzitter Mark Uyeda gaf afgelopen week aan dat er een constructieve benadering nodig is om regelgeving vorm te geven. Dat is een opvallende koerswijziging, want onder Gary Gensler was de SEC uitgesproken vijandig richting crypto. Gensler beschouwde vrijwel elke coin als een effect, met uitzondering van Bitcoin. Hij beriep zich op de zogenaamde Howey Test om coins onder effectenwetgeving te laten vallen, maar die lijn hield in de rechtszaal niet altijd stand. Steeds meer rechtszaken, zoals die tegen Ripple, worden gestaakt. In dat specifieke geval laat de SEC zelfs het hoger beroep vallen. Die ontwikkeling hangt samen met het werk van de speciale Crypto Task Force binnen de SEC, die is opgezet om beter inzicht te krijgen in de sector. Afgelopen week organiseerde die groep voor het eerst een rondetafelgesprek met vertegenwoordigers uit de industrie. Het doel is volgens de SEC om een brug te slaan tussen wetgeving en innovatie, zonder de veiligheid van beleggers uit het oog te verliezen. Ondertussen lijkt de toezichthouder ook scherper te kiezen in haar handhavingsbeleid. Zo werd besloten dat het minen van Bitcoin niet onder effectenwetgeving valt. Daarmee krijgen grote Amerikaanse miningbedrijven zoals Marathon Digital en Riot eindelijk duidelijkheid, na jaren van onzekerheid. Ook vanuit andere hoeken in Washington kwam nieuws dat het sentiment rondom crypto kan beïnvloeden. Tornado Cash, het decentrale protocol voor het anonimiseren van transacties, staat niet langer op de Amerikaanse sanctielijst. In de prijsanalyse ziet Tim Stolte dat de cryptomarkt opgelucht lijkt te reageren op de wereldwijde economische signalen. De rente in de VS blijft stabiel, importheffingen zorgen niet voor paniek en altcoins als Ethereum, Solana en Chainlink doen het opvallend goed, maar de vraag is: hoelang duurt dit nog? De recessieangst speelt nog altijd, behalve bij FED-voorzitter Jerome Powell. Bloomberg kwam met het nieuws dat Coinbase serieuze overnamegesprekken voert met Deribit, een van oorsprong Nederlands handelsplatform voor crypto-derivaten. Met een geschatte waarde van 4 tot 5 miljard dollar zou het gaan om een van de grootste deals in de cryptosector ooit. Deribit verwerkt gigantische volumes — vorig jaar 1,2 biljoen dollar — en is ondanks haar wortels in Nederland inmiddels gevestigd in Dubai. De overname zou Coinbase in staat stellen om haar aanwezigheid in de derivatenmarkt te versterken. Tegelijkertijd kondigde concurrent Kraken vorige week de overname aan van NinjaTrader voor 1,5 miljard dollar. Is er een consolidatieslag gaande in de VS? Co-host is Paul Buitink.
