4. Coinbase May Become Acquisition Target
Coinbase has met the conditions to become an acquisition target. If it can merge with a traditional exchange, it could create a company that possesses both expertise and industry influence, thereby dominating the currently fragmented cryptocurrency market. Currently, Coinbase's price-to-earnings ratio is about 22 times, with a total market capitalization of approximately $52 billion. However, large U.S. exchanges have the capability to make this deal happen. The parent company of the New York Stock Exchange, Intercontinental Exchange (ICE), has a market capitalization of $100 billion and a price-to-earnings ratio of 36 times, with its CEO Jeffrey Sprecher's wife, Kelly Loeffler, being a member of Trump's cabinet. The global futures trading giant CME Group has a market capitalization of $93 billion and a price-to-earnings ratio of 26 times. The Nasdaq exchange is known for its technological strength and global network, with a market capitalization of $47 billion and a price-to-earnings ratio of 41 times. If Coinbase can collaborate with major U.S. exchanges, it will be able to open doors to power and markets that may currently be out of reach. Large investors may push for a top exchange to acquire Coinbase, allowing the new company to maximize investment returns as cryptocurrency gradually moves from the financial frontier to the mainstream. -Original

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is reviewing five XRP ETF applications submitted by 21Shares, Grayscale, CoinShares, WisdomTree, and Canary Capital, and must make a decision on these applications by mid-October this year. Since Trump previously announced or will include XRP in the U.S. cryptocurrency strategic reserve, Zerocap's Chief Investment Officer Jonathan de Wet believes this move helps address some key regulatory issues, thereby enhancing the feasibility of XRP ETF approval. JPMorgan analysts predict that the XRP ETF could attract $8 billion in investment inflows in its first year. -Original
