Coinbase has been included in TIME's list of 100 Most Influential Companies in 2025 due to its rising political and regulatory influence.
The company experienced a surge in stock price following the passage of the GENIUS Act, reaching nearly $382 from just above $300, reflecting optimism around its role in shaping future crypto frameworks.
Coinbase secured a digital asset license in Luxembourg under the EU's MiCA rules to serve European users and is seeking SEC approval to enter tokenized equity trading, potentially competing with platforms like Robinhood.
With increased regulatory influence, global expansion efforts, and plans to venture into new asset classes, Coinbase aims to be a significant player in crypto's evolving landscape as both a market participant and a policy influencer.
