Coinbase Buys $300M Bitcoin In Q3, Reports Strong Earnings

Coinbase reported stronger-than-expected third-quarter earnings Thursday, posting $1.9 billion in revenue — up 26% from the previous quarter — as renewed crypto market momentum boosted both trading and stablecoin income. 

The San Francisco-based exchange notched $433 million in net profit, or $1.50 per share, surpassing Wall Street expectations of $1.10 per share on $1.8 billion in revenue.

Despite a sequential decline from its record $1.4 billion profit in Q2, Coinbase attributed the drop primarily to non-cash mark-to-market adjustments related to its holdings in Circle and its crypto portfolio. 

Shares of Coinbase Global (COIN) jumped more than 4% in after-hours…

Bitcoin Price Crashes To $106,000 As Bloody Week Continues

Bitcoin price continued its slide through much of Thursday, dipping to as low as $106,290 as traders digested a wave of macro uncertainty — from Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell’s cautious tone on future rate cuts to renewed volatility following U.S.–China trade talks.

The bitcoin price fell over 3% in early trading before stabilizing slightly above $107,000. The drop extends a multi-day long decline that began after the Federal Reserve delivered a widely expected 25 basis point rate cut but signaled that December’s meeting may not bring another.

Powell’s remarks at the post-meeting press conference struck a notably hawkish tone. While acknowledging progress toward…

LATEST: Nordic Banking Leader Nordea Will Now Provide Bitcoin-linked ETP Options To All Users

Nordea Bank Abp has revealed plans to give its customers access to a Bitcoin-based synthetic exchange-traded product (ETP) starting December 2025. The new offering, created in partnership with CoinShares International Limited, will be available through Nordea’s execution-only platform, allowing users to trade the product independently without advisory services from the bank.

The decision comes as the European crypto market matures under the Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCa), set to take full effect across the EU in December 2024. Nordea pointed to the region’s growing appetite for digital assets among both retail and institutional investors, particularly across the Nordic countries.

Unlike direct Bitcoin ownership, the synthetic ETP provides exposure through a traditional financial instrument, offering a regulated path to crypto investment. Nordea described the product as designed for experienced investors seeking diversified and alternative asset opportunities within the expanding crypto landscape.

France Bitcoin Reserve Bill | Digital Euro Rejection

In a surprise move, French lawmakers proposed a historic bill to create a national bitcoin reserve and officially reject the European Central Bank’s (ECB) digital euro.

The France bitcoin reserve proposal, led by Éric Ciotti and the Union of the Right and Centre (UDR) party, is the most ambitious Bitcoin legislation ever in France. It suggests buying up to 420,000 bitcoin (BTC) — about 2% of the total supply — over the next 7 to 8 years.

If passed, France would be the first country in Europe to have a strategic bitcoin reserve, utilizing the scarce digital asset as a form of “digital gold” to strengthen national financial sovereignty.

The proposed law outlines…

Bitcoin Price Crashes To $109,000, Fed Cuts Rates

Bitcoin’s price fell to $109,000 Wednesday afternoon after Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell signaled that additional rate cuts may not follow in December. Since then, Bitcoin price has leveled near $111,000.

The drop came shortly after the central bank reduced its benchmark interest rate by 0.25 percentage points to a target range of 3.75%–4%.

The cut — the Fed’s second of 2025 after a move in September — ended a long stretch of rate holds. The policy shift is intended to lower borrowing costs and support economic activity. But Powell’s comments that further cuts are not guaranteed this year sparked selling across risk assets.

Before the announcement, Bitcoin…
