pull up a chair, my friends, the answer is in plain sight
DOGE is up 500% over the last 7 days and is now $48B in market cap, making it the fifth largest cryptocurrency by market cap.
but why?
let's look at r/WallStreetBets
2/ on wednesday, ahead of the $COIN listing, the WSB mods changed their ban on crypto discussion to allow talk about 3 cryptocurrencies - #Bitcoin , ethereum, and... you guessed it... $DOGE
as you can imagine, the WSB community went wild
3/ not 24 hours later, the mods reverse that decision and announced they would ban all crypto chatter on the forum indefinitely
according to some reports, the ban was a response to this @business article claiming WSB mods were bowing to pressure
2/ these listings bring much needed transparency and insight into crypto business models, and highlight how profitable companies are
at @CoinSharesCo, we reported a 65% EBITDA margin in Q4, compared to traditional banks who reported an average 47% EBITDA margin in Q4
3/ coinbase reported 65M users and over $1.5B in EBITDA in Q1 alone, and is on track to book revenues and net income that exceed any other US exchange - ICE, Nasdaq, CME, and CBOE.
when it lists, i fully expect coinbase to valued higher than Goldman Sachs (h/t @JasonYanowitz)
2/ while firms like Goldman Sachs are working on offering bitcoin to only their wealthiest clients, @choicebyKT is working on democratizing access for everyone.
at @CoinSharesCo, we believe bitcoin is for *everyone*
equality of access is critical!
3/ since the launch of Choice, digital assets have grown to over $1.6B of the firmโs $18B in assets under custody.
today, Choice powers 125,000 retirement accounts.
but we see a MASSIVE opportunity to bring crypto to the $34.9 trillion held in US retirement accounts.
