84% Below Peak, Coinbase Stock To Fall As Stablecoin Breaks The ... (Forbes)

Bitcoin is not an inflation hedge and with Coinbase down 84% from its peak, the stock has further to fall.

As soon as the Fed pivoted in November, that was a death knell.” To be fair, Coinbase is not the only financial investment that has lost value. If Coinbase keeps that up for a year it will run out of cash. While Buffett does not know whether Bitcoin will go up or down in the future, he concluded “the one thing I'm pretty sure of is that it doesn't multiply, it doesn't produce anything. Unlike apartments that produce rental income or farmland that produces food, the only way to get value from Bitcoin is to sell it to someone else. According to CNBC, it “uses a complex system of minting and burning tokens to adjust supply and stabilize prices.” For reasons possibly related to the recent crypto sell-off, UST was trading at just 35 cents at 4 a.m. ET on May 11. Along with the drop in Bitcoin’s value, comes the news that another kind of crypto currency is floundering in its efforts to hold a stable value. Last April, I argued that Coinbase was not worth $100 billion — instead $18.9 billion would be a good number. That’s a problem for Bitcoin because UST is supposed to be like a money market fund — to maintain a peg of $1 per coin. Sadly for investors, with its fee of 0.46% being 46 times that of rivals such as Gemini, Bitstamp, Kraken, and Binance, those fees were likely to drop — possibly to zero. UST — the world’s third-biggest stablecoin — claimed that it could hold the $1 peg. With Bitcoin down 53% from that high, another strut holding up the crypto project is crumpling.

Coinbase vs. Crypto.com: Why Coinbase Is a Better Choice for Most ... (NextAdvisor)

Coinbase and Crypto.com are two popular crypto exchanges that give investors access to top coins, along with extra ways to earn rewards.

Crypto.com, on the other hand, has a richer suite of crypto-related products and services if want to integrate crypto more into your life. - Pay: Use the Crypto.com network toreceive paymentsas part of your business, or to buy goods and services from others. However, with Crypto.com you need to allocate coins to its Earn feature, while Coinbase allows you to earn staking interest just by holding the coins. Coinbase also offers you the chance to earn free coins by learning about them. Coinbase makes it a point to tout its security measures, and offers educational articles to help you use tools like multifactor authentication to better secure your account. Navigating how Crypto.com’s fees work and how to access the discount by paying fees with CRO can be difficult. For example, the flat fee on a transaction of $10 or less is $0.99, but the flat fee on a transaction amount between $50 and $200 is $2.99. Beyond a flat fee, you can be charged a percentage of the transaction based on payment method. In addition to the exchange’s custodial wallet, you could use the platform’s decentralized wallet where you maintain control of your password and keys. You can also use the Coinbase Wallet on your mobile device or as a browser extension. So if you’re just getting started and only want to invest a few hundred dollars to start, that could present some complexity if you later decide to cash out with less than that amount. While Crypto.com does offer some unique additional options that could appeal to more advanced investors, we think Coinbase is a better option for most people. Coinbase does charge higher fees than other cryptocurrency exchanges, but experts we’ve talked to say the fees are worth the security, simplicity, and reliability of the most popular exchange.
