Why Lower Bitcoin Price Is Good For Coinbase ($COIN)?

According to a Goldman Sachs analyst, profits for Coinbase will remain intact irrespective of a decline in BTC price. The prediction from the analyst came just a day before the finalization of Coinbase’s second quarterly report.

Goldman Sachs has reinstated their “buy” ratings for Coinbase, pointing out that regardless of an upcoming change in Bitcoin (BTC) price, the company may remain in surplus. 

Bitcoin has been volatile in 2021, with a tremendous hike in April of up to $65,000; and a terrible fall from May onwards, down to $31,752 as of today. however, Goldman Sachs’ predictions are in favor of the exchange platform, indicating that a “Significantly elevated crypto asset volatility” caused a trading boom that will mean consistent trading operations on Coinbase.

Crypto Crash did not bankrupt exchanges, but they reaped the losses

Coinbase has been down a third in stock prices after a record-breaking high in April. With Bitcoin (BTC) and other cryptocurrencies losing over $1 trillion since the beginning of the year, Coinbase stock prices have suffered from the bear run. Nevertheless, Coinbase has maintained revenue because of constant investments from traders in Bitcoin (BTC) and other coins even after the crash.
