Coinbase has returned to the Super Bowl with a new ad inspired by the Backstreet Boys' 1997 hit "Everybody (Backstreet’s Back)." The one-minute spot features animated lyrics to create a shared, karaoke-like experience, aiming to highlight the growth of the crypto community. This marks the exchange's first Super Bowl ad since 2022, when a QR code commercial went viral and crashed its website. The new ad received mixed reactions online, with some users criticizing it amid market conditions, while others praised its simplicity. Coinbase responded to criticism by stating that the discussion itself meant the ad was effective.

Coinbase, a prominent crypto exchange, has returned to the Super Bowl following its viral QR code advertisement that happened four years ago. This time, betting is on a Backstreet Boys karaoke-inspired ad.

The one-minute TV spot of Coinbase at the time of the most-watched sporting event in the US primarily featured text animation showing the lyrics to the Backstreet Boys’ 1997 hit “Everybody (Backstreet’s Back).

The marketing chief of Coinbase, Catherine Ferdon, mentioned in a statement that the ad was focused on bringing the people together for a shared experience that shows how the crypto community has surged.

This is the first Super Bowl ad spot of Coinbase since 2022, when it rolled out a 60-second commercial showing a colour-changing QR code that bounced around the screen, like a DVD screensaver.

The QR code ad referred to a link providing $15 in BTC for those who signed up to Coinbase, which was so famous that it crashed the website and allegedly saw 20 million hits in one minute.

The Mixed Opinion

The recent Super Bowl ad of Coinbase captivated varied opinion, having some X users mentioning the commercial provoked mockery amid a market crash and crypto’s associations with the Trump administration.

On the other hand, others commended it for its simplicity and memorability. The exchange replied to a user on X who said that the ad was terrible, mentioning that if you are talking about it, it worked.

Many others also put their opinion online about the ad. One user on X posted that I was ERUPTED in boos when we came across the Coinbase ad. Meanwhile, Axios reporter Andrew Solender stated a room he was in exploded into groans and shouts of “fuck you” after the ad went live.

The engineer of the Ethereum Foundation, Chase Wright, unveiled that 50% of the people at the party I was at were singing along and laughed when it was the exchange, Coinbase.

Menurunkan Ekspektasi untuk Bull Market Bitcoin Berikutnya

Artikel ini membahas penurunan ekspektasi penulis terhadap potensi kenaikan harga Bitcoin (BTC) pada siklus bull market berikutnya. Penulis, Alex Xu, yang sebelumnya memegang BTC sebagai aset terbesarnya, telah mengurangi porsi BTC dari full menjadi sekitar 30% pada kisaran harga $100.000-$120.000, dan kembali mengurangi di level $78.000-$79.000. Alasan utama penurunan ekspektasi ini adalah: 1. **Energi Penggerak yang Melemah:** Narasi adopsi BTC yang mendorong kenaikan signifikan di siklus sebelumnya (dari aset niche hingga institusi besar via ETF) sulit terulang. Langkah berikutnya, seperti masuknya BTC ke dalam cadangan bank sentral negara maju, dianggap sangat sulit tercapai dalam 2-3 tahun ke depan. 2. **Biaya Peluang Pribadi:** Penulis menemukan peluang investasi yang lebih menarik di perusahaan-perusahaan lain. 3. **Dampak Resesi Industri Kripto:** Menyusutnya industri kripto secara keseluruhan (banyak model bisnis seperti SocialFi dan GameFi terbukti gagal) dapat memperlambat pertumbuhan basis pemegang BTC. 4. **Biaya Pendanaan Pembeli Utama:** Perusahaan pembeli BTC terbesar, Stratis, menghadapi kenaikan biaya pendanaan yang memberatkan, yang dapat mengurangi kecepatan pembeliannya dan memberi tekanan jual. 5. **Pesaing Baru untuk "Emas Digital":** Hadirnya "tokenized gold" (emas yang ditokenisasi) menawarkan keunggulan yang mirip dengan BTC (seperti dapat dibagi dan dipindahkan) sehingga menjadi pesaing serius. 6. **Masalah Anggaran Keamanan:** Imbalan miner yang terus berkurang pasca halving menimbulkan kekhawatiran tentang keamanan jaringan, sementara upaya mencari sumber fee baru seperti ordinals dan L2 dinilai gagal. Penulis menyatakan tetap memegang BTC sebagai aset besar dan terbuka untuk membeli kembali jika alasannya tidak lagi relevan atau muncul faktor positif baru, meski siap menerima jika harganya sudah terlalu tinggi untuk dibeli kembali.
