Jim Cramer - Mad Money Coinbase Global COIN-Q BUY Jul 14, 2025

If you believe Bitcoin will rally to $100,000, then COIN will rally. He's neither for nor against. Won't judge. Bitcoin has made money for people.

Coinbase is at the forefront of developing critical blockchain infrastructure and is really the main and only player in the US crypto space. COIN has helped to begin bridging the gap between the traditional finance world and the crypto network layer. For 2024 COIN aims to focus on driving revenue through improving its core trading and USDC (US dollar stablecoin), driving utility in crypto with experiments in payments using USDC and Base (its layer-2 chain), and drive regulatory clarity of the industry.

It launched a layer-2 network on the Ethereum blockchain called Base, which has seen transaction volume skyrocket over the past month, and it now has $1.5B in total value locked. The company continues to innovate by offering a coinbase smart wallet which allows for easy onboarding and storage of private keys for users. Through certain 'on-chain' metrics, we can see that trading volumes have surged in March 2024, and it is possible that Coinbase will have a strong Q1. 

COIN is expecting to report in early May, although the date is not yet confirmed. Overall, as the leading centralized crypto ecosystem company in North America, we like COIN in the current market backdrop.

Is up 83% since he added it on the end of the October. He bought on momentum, not because of fundamentals. COIN has dramatically improved their balance sheet. Trump has validated cryptos as a legit asset class, hence its rally now.

He just added more, based on momentum and scarcity, if the new White House says it will do what it promised of making a crypto reserve currency. Regardless, new regulations will make cryptos okay for institutions to own.

He added to it. Long term there will be profitability. He added at $280 yesterday. There could a more crypto-friendly White House. It's an investment, not trade, bit cryptos are a roller-coaster, not for the feint of heart.

On Oct. 31 to Dec. 6, he was up 91%, today 48%. That is the volatility of cryptos. Bitcoin's support is $85,000. If it breaks below that and you're long, you should take some exposure off. Risky. Remember that 10-year-yield are moving up again, towards their highs for the year.

He bought it Oct. 31 and he still has a small profit on it. Can't believe it's fallen from $348 in early December (now $250). It's pulling back with Bitcoin, both volatile which you must accept.

At these levels, why buy this? Buy Bitcoin itself.
