Coinbase is drawing attention as retail users appear to be accumulating Bitcoin and Ethereum on the platform, according to analyst commentary shared on X. Armstrong said customers have been “buying the dip,” adding that “the vast majority of customers had native unit balances in Feb equal to or greater than their balances in December,” describing this as “diamond hands.”

During the earnings call, Armstrong stated that Coinbase has the ability to launch its own prediction market business, beyond its role as a retail distributor for platforms such as Kalshi.
On Friday’s regular trading session, Coinbase shares closed 16.46% higher at $164.32, according to Benzinga Pro.
The article also noted that COIN stock maintains a weaker price trend in the short, medium, and long term, with an average Value ranking based on Benzinga’s Edge Stock Rankings.
