Coinbase (COIN) shares are being viewed as increasingly “de-risked” after a sharp first-quarter decline of around 26%, which erased earlier gains from the Q1 rebound.
According to William Blair analysts, much of the weakness in trading volumes and transaction revenue is already priced into the stock. They also noted that Street estimates are likely to trend lower, but this should not come as a surprise to investors. With Coinbase expected to report Q1 2026 earnings on May 7, sentiment impact from results may be limited.
Beyond short-term pressure, the long-term narrative is shifting toward Coinbase’s expanding “everything exchange” strategy. The platform is steadily broadening its ecosystem with derivatives, staking services, equities trading, and prediction markets—enhancing its competitive positioning beyond spot trading.
A key driver of optimism is the continued growth of USDC, Coinbase’s closely linked stablecoin through Circle. USDC has been steadily gaining market share from USDT, even as new entrants like PayPal and Trump-linked World Liberty Financial begin to emerge in the stablecoin space.
Data shows USDC now accounts for roughly 27% of the $300 billion stablecoin market, up from about 21% in 2024.
Overall, while near-term trading activity remains under pressure, Coinbase’s structural growth story—driven by USDC expansion and product diversification—continues to strengthen.

Paxos Labs raises $12mln to solve THIS DeFi ‘product problem’

Paxos Labs has raised $12 million to solve what the project calls DeFi’s ‘product problem.’ Notably, Paxos Labs is a spin-off of the crypto infrastructure firm Paxos.

Through its new Amplify, Paxos Labs believes it can make it super easy for users to earn yield, borrow, and lend assets at scale.

In a statement, Spencer Bogart, general partner at Blockchain Capital, an early investor and one of the key firms that led the latest fundraising round, said,

A UK lawmaker has asked the financial authorities to investigate Nigel Farage’s promotion of a Bitcoin (BTC) treasury firm, raising concerns about potential market abuse and conflicts of interest due to the politician’s potential ties to the crypto industry.

Farage’s Stack BTC Video Prompts Scrutiny
On Monday, UK Liberal Democrat deputy leader Daisy Cooper asked the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) CEO, Nikhil Rathi, to investigate Reform UK leader and Member of Parliament (MP) Nigel Farage over his ties to the crypto industry.

In the letter, the lawmaker highlighted Farage’s recent appearance in a promotional video for crypto treasury firm Stack BTC, in which he is also an investor, showing him purchasing roughly £2 million in Bitcoin.

As reported by Bitcoinist, the Reform UK leader bought 37 BTC, worth around $2.7 million, on Monday on behalf of the company, becoming the first sitting British MP and party leader to publicly back Bitcoin, Stack BTC noted.

Despite the triumph for crypto in British Politics, Cooper considers that Farage’s Bitcoin promotion, alongside his repeated support for digital assets, “raises extremely serious questions about potential market abuse, a conflict of interest, and exposure of ordinary people to financial harm.”

The lawmaker highlighted Farage’s campaigns to expand the use of digital assets in the UK, including establishing a Bitcoin reserve fund, reducing capital gains tax on crypto assets from 24% to 10%, and enacting legal safeguards to prevent banks from terminating accounts associated with digital currency transactions.

“Taken together, these facts beg the question whether Mr Farage is promoting cryptocurrencies through his political platform in order to inflate crypto values for his own financial benefit, as well as that of his party and his inner circle of donors,” Cooper argued.

She emphasized that “owning and trading cryptocurrencies is a perfectly legitimat

As the cryptocurrency market gradually turns bullish, a notable growth is being observed across Ethereum’s price action and its staking ecosystem. After a series of staking activity among retail and institutional investors, the ETH staking market cap has exploded, reaching new levels.

ETH Staking Market Cap Sees Explosive Growth
The Ethereum ecosystem is undergoing a radical change as its staking landscape quickly grows in size and sophistication. This notable growth coincides with the recent upward performance of ETH’s price following a broader market recovery earlier this week.

According to Everstake, the largest global non-custodial staking infrastructure provider, the ETH staking ecosystem has evolved, reaching a $85.2 billion market cap. With the massive market cap, the ecosystem is turning into a fortress of security. Everstake stated that the sheer scale of this is absolutely mind-blowing.

Such a sharp rise in ETH staking market capitalization is indicative of increased involvement from both individual and institutional holders, who are all looking for profits while enhancing network security. As a result of this, Ethereum’s economic model is changing, becoming a more yield-driven and capital-efficient economy.

Looking at the chart shared by Everstake, the Ethereum network is now commanding more locked capital than the rest of the leading networks combined. ETH leads with over $85.2 billion, while Solana and BNB Chain come in second and third positions, with $35.5 billion and $15.2 billion, respectively.

Being the leader in total staking market cap, ETH is currently providing the largest decentralized security budget in history. Offering more insight, Everstake added that this massive staking market cap represents unmatched trust or conviction in the ETH network from both large institutions and regular users across the globe.

Furthermore, it proves that Ethereum is the leading blockchain when it comes to network resili

Ripple CEO Says Clarity Act Window Is Open but Less Confident in April Timeline

Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse says the U.S. crypto industry may finally achieve regulatory clarity through the proposed Digital Asset Market Structure Clarity Act.

He made the remarks while marking his 11th anniversary at Ripple, reflecting on the company's long campaign for clearer digital asset regulations in the United States.

After more than a decade of advocacy, Garlinghouse believes the momentum in Washington indicates that the crypto industry is closer than ever to achieving regulatory clarity.

Former Lutnick-run Cantor Fitzgerald donates $10 million to crypto PAC led by Tether exec

Cantor Fitzgerald and Tether, the world's largest stablecoin issuer, have maintained close ties since 2021, when the firm began serving as a custodian for Tether's reserves.

The Fellowship PAC also spent over $1 million on advertising for candidates, including Republican Senate candidates Nate Morris in Kentucky, Pete Ricketts in Nebraska, and Republican House candidate Clay Fuller in Georgia, according to filings.

Cantor Fitzgerald, the Wall Street firm formerly owned by current U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, donated $10 million to a super political action committee backing pro-crypto candidates as election season ramps up.

The firm made that donation in February to the Fellowship PAC, according to a Federal Election Commission filing. Bloomberg earlier reported the news. Lutnick's sons now run Cantor Fitzgerald.

The Fellowship PAC also spent over $1 million on advertising for candidates, including Republican Senate candidates Nate Morris in Kentucky, Pete Ricketts in Nebraska, and Republican House candidate Clay Fuller in Georgia, according to filings.

Cantor Fitzgerald and Tether, the world's largest stablecoin issuer, have maintained close ties since 2021, when the firm began serving as a custodian for Tether’s reserves. During Lutnick's Senate confirmation hearing last year, lawmakers pressed the secretary on those ties as well as his influence over the crypto industry as a whole.

The Fellowship PAC launched in September 2025 with over $100 million in committed financial backing and a goal of supporting candidates who are "committed to transparent and predictable rules for digital assets." Earlier this month, the PAC named Tether U.S. executive Jesse Spiro as chairman.

Crypto PACs as a whole played a pivotal role during the last election season in 2024, raising millions of dollars to back pro-crypto candidates. Another big player, the Fairshake PAC, has amassed $193 million as of January.
