Speaking on CNBC’s Fast Money, Anthony Pompliano said that holding Bitcoin is a better bet than holding Coinbase stock due to its 150%-200% yearly price appreciation. Still, Coinbase and companies in the space will still do well provided the space continues to grow its range of financial products.
Trading volume grew to $462 billion on the platform, an increase of 38% from the last quarter. Coinbase revealed that 24% of the company’s trading volume was in bitcoin, down from 39% in Q1, 2021.
