Coinbase shares rise close to 14% after SEC loses lawsuit
Coinbase shares surged 14% amid market enthusiasm, driven by Grayscale’s victory over the SEC.
Shares of Coinbase rose from around $73 to almost $86 on Tuesday following news of Grayscale Investments’ winning lawsuit against the Securities and Exchange Commission over a bid to set up a spot Bitcoin exchange-traded fund. That’s an increase of almost $13 per share.
This rise marks Coinbase even closer to launching a potential spot Bitcoin ETF. Coinbase also has deals that could benefit if the funds are eventually approved.
This surge of Coinbase shares comes as a result of Grayscale winning the SEC lawsuit and being seen as a positive development for the Bitcoin ETF.
