Through the program, institutions can lend digital assets to the company under standardized terms, a Coinbase spokesperson said.<\/p>\n<p>Coinbase has previously offered lending services to institutional clients. The latest move looks to be a more formal shift by the company to offer standardized services akin to a prime brokerage in traditional finance.<\/p>\n<p>Clients can loan Coinbase digital assets and receive collateral exceeding the value of the loan. Lenders may also choose the type of collateral they receive, such as<br \/>\n        Bitcoin<br \/>\n      or the dollar-pegged USDC stablecoin, according to a person familiar with the matter. In turn, Coinbase can offer secured loans to its institutional clients, the person said.<\/p>\n<p>Coinbase is expanding into what was once a hot corner of the crypto space\u2014and one that is now a vacuum of competition after the turmoil that rocked digital asset markets over the past year, with lenders Genesis, BlockFi, and Celsius all filing for bankruptcy. Coinbase recorded zero credit losses on loans to customers in 2022.<\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless, crypto lending has caused friction between Coinbase and regulators. <\/p>\n<p>Coinbase in September 2021 canceled plans for a \u201cLend\u201d platform for retail customers after the Securities and Exchange Commission threatened to sue the group. While the new program focuses on institutional investors, the SEC has sued Coinbase over conflicts of interest, saying the platform didn\u2019t separate areas of its business such as the exchange from brokerage and clearing activities, as is standard in traditional finance. Coinbase has said it will fight the SEC\u2019s allegations in court.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The company sees the prime brokerage as a specific product with no conflicts of interest, according to a person familiar with the matter.<\/p>\n<p>While Coinbase\u2019s latest move could be worthwhile diversification for the company, it\u2019s unclear how meaningful the expansion will be for revenues or its stock.<\/p>\n<p>Coinbase\u2019s bread and butter remains token trading\u2014a core business that has come under increasing pressure since the \u201ccrypto winter\u201d that gripped Bitcoin last year. The fundamentals likely need to improve in that area for investors to grow more bullish on a stock that has already ripped 120% higher this year. Otherwise, with growing regulatory risks, even a new prime brokerage service doesn\u2019t change the case for caution.<\/p>\n<p>Write to Jack Denton at jack.denton@barrons.com<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Read the full article <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marketwatch.com\/articles\/coinbase-bitcoin-crypto-lending-4eccd6a0?mod=markets\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Coinbase Global is expanding digital asset lending services to its largest clients, pushing into a corner of the crypto economy hard-hit by more than a year of market turmoil.
