Coinbase Stock Soars as Crypto Exchange Expands to Brazil
Coinbase, America’s biggest digital asset exchange, announced on Tuesday that it is expanding to Brazil, causing a surge in its stock price. The company’s stock, which peaked at $84.79 during midday trading, settled at $83.99, up 12% from the previous day’s close. Coinbase’s expansion to Brazil enables customers to buy and sell crypto using Brazilian reais, and withdraw reais from the exchange using Brazilian instant payment platform Pix. The company will also provide a fully localized app in Brazilian Portuguese and 24/7 chat support for customers.
Coinbase has a history of investing in Brazil, including its establishment of a technology hub in the country last year and its focus on investing in Brazilian crypto companies through its investment arm, Coinbase Ventures. The expansion comes as Coinbase accelerates its “Go Broad, Go Deep” strategy to grow its presence on every continent except for Antarctica.
The move to Brazil is a significant development, as Brazil is Latin America’s largest economy and the third largest in the Americas after the US and Canada. Additionally, it has more Bitcoin ETFs than other Latin American nations, and many of its major banks offer some type of digital asset exposure to investors.
As Coinbase looks overseas to expand its reach, investors eagerly anticipate what the future holds for the company. Trading under the symbol COIN on the Nasdaq, Coinbase is now trading at $84.19 per share, with a 12% 24-hour jump. With continued strategic expansion and investment, the future looks bright for Coinbase and its stockholders.
