Expansion into copper and platinum futures fails to revive Coinbase stock
Coinbase stock (COIN) continues to struggle despite diversification into copper and platinum futures, allowing trades on both metals with less upfront capital. COIN stock has fallen 1.24% (-2.65) to $210.83 in the past 24 hours despite the slight 0.53% (+1.11) pre-market surge to $211.94, bringing the total 5-day drop to 7.62% (-17.39). Market data shows Coinbase stock has been in a steady decline since its October 2025 high of $387. COIN has plummeted by 44.4% (-168.66) over the past six months and 46% from its peak, but only 6.77% (-15.31) YTD. Meanwhile, the COIN stock has extended its losses despite the rollout of platinum and copper futures on January 27 aimed at regaining investor confidence. Coinbase announces that traders can access futures contracts for both metals on its platform, joining previously available silver and gold contracts. Coinbase stock decline reflects broader market conditions Steven Wu, the COO of digital assets lender Clearpool Finance, says the decline in Coinbase’s stock is related to broader market conditions rather than specific loss of confidence in the company’s execution. He notes that COIN is trading as a high-beta risk asset amid investor shifts toward commodities and yield. The Clearpool COO noted that Coinbase’s expansion is more about gradually broadening its role as a derivatives market than about directly hedging crypto volatility. He also cautions that metals are unlikely to offset notable crypto market swings in the short term. Allen Ding, the head of Bitfire Research, echoed Wu’s sentiment that the addition of new metals futures is just tactical product diversification rather than a complete strategic hedge. He also noted that deep liquidity for metals remains concentrated at the CME, making Coinbase’s latest futures offerings more of a complementary feature for retaining users than a primary driver of growth. Ding also observed that these products only diversify the company’s portfolio in the long run, but may not fully protect the business from the crypto market volatility. Wu further noted that regulatory uncertainty around the proposed CLARITY stablecoin framework could affect USDC adoption and Coinbase’s earnings. Cantor expects COIN price to hit $277 target this year Ramsey El-Assal, a Cantor Fitzgerald analyst, expects Coinbase to hit its $277 price target despite the recent decline in COIN’s price. The analyst noted the company is evolving into an “ everything exchange ,” expanding beyond spot crypto trading into a multi-product platform. El-Assal further emphasized that Coinbase’s growing mix of services revenue and subscriptions is expected to enhance operating leverage and support more earnings as the platform grows. Meanwhile, Coinbase is facing new PR problems with its overseas marketing approach. Britain’s Advertising Standards Authority has banned three Coinbase posters and a video following 35 complaints. The ASA argued that the campaign belittles the risks associated with trading crypto. However, Coinbase acknowledged and explained that the advert aims to trigger discussion about the platform’s offerings, and not to promote crypto as a get-rich-quick scheme. The ASA banned Coinbase’s “Everything’s fine” advert, which showed people singing funny songs from poor homes. The video advert also showed several financial challenges, such as rising egg prices and a burst sewage pipe/ The words “everything’s fine” appeared alongside each challenging life situation, which was controversial among consumers. However, Coinbase responded by denying that the adverts were irresponsible, adding that crypto businesses did not have the inherent social harms associated with gambling, alcohol, or tobacco, which ASA has provided specific guidance on. The exchange also argued that it is reasonable to assume consumers will see the adverts as satire. To avoid bad publicity, it clarified that the video was purposely exaggerated for entertainment.

Cactus Custody Rolls Out MPC Self-Custody Platform With Chainalysis
Digital asset custodian Cactus Custody announced it is rolling out a new institutional-grade self-custody platform built on Multi-Party Computation (MPC) as demand grows for secure digital asset control without reliance on centralized custodians. The new platform is designed to give clients direct ownership of their assets while maintaining compliance-ready integrations with key anti-money laundering and Travel Rule technology providers including Chainalysis and Notabene. Institutional Self-Custody Powered by MPC MPC tech has emerged as one of the most widely adopted security frameworks for digital asset management allowing private keys to be split into multiple encrypted shares rather than stored in a single location. By using MPC, Cactus said it aims to reduce the risk of single-point key compromise while allowing institutional clients to retain full control over their funds. The solution is positioned for organizations seeking autonomy and resilience in their custody infrastructure. Cactus Custody Integrates Circle’s USDC Infrastructure In December, Cactus Custody announced a collaboration with an affiliate of Circle Internet Group to improve access to USDC for institutional clients. The firm has integrated Circle’s USDC infrastructure to improve workflow interoperability allowing institutional clients to manage their digital asset operations. Cactus Custody is integrating Circle’s USDC infrastructure to improve institutional operational efficiency. The integration enhances workflow interoperability for digital asset operations, helping institutions streamline processes with institutional-grade security and… pic.twitter.com/K0QkS7XoGo — Cactus Custody (@CactusCustody) December 2, 2025 Addressing Compliance Through Integrated Tooling Alongside security, Cactus Custody explains compliance remains a central concern for institutions operating in the digital asset space. Cactus’ self-custody platform integrates with AML and Know-Your-Transaction (KYT) tools such as Chainalysis allowing clients to monitor on-chain activity and meet regulatory obligations. Travel Rule compliance is also supported through integrations with solutions like Notabene allowing institutions to exchange required transaction information as global regulatory frameworks tighten. Targeting Clients Who Want Full Control Daniel Lee the CEO of Cactus Custody told CryptoNews that the product is aimed at a broad range of institutions that prefer self-custody over third-party custodial models. “The target client based would anyone that requires self custody solution. There are those that prefer self custody over using a centralised custodian,” Lee said. He added that compliance tooling is flexible depending on client preference. “Chainalysis is an option for the client to use for their KYT [Know-Your-Transaction] obligations. However, if the client chooses another onchain analysis vendor we can also consider integrating it to our system,” Lee said. Daniel Lee — a leading voice in institutional digital assets and former Head of Web3 at Banking Circle — becomes CEO of @CactusCustody from Jan 2026. #Web3 #Custody https://t.co/GYfKNfVF0Q — Cryptonews.com (@cryptonews) December 8, 2025 The post Cactus Custody Rolls Out MPC Self-Custody Platform With Chainalysis appeared first on Cryptonews .

Binance Wallet Extension launches support for TON network tokens and apps
Binance Wallet Extension started support for TON network. The wallet hub will carry all TON tokens and apps, with additional developer tools for integration. Binance Wallet Extension became a gateway to the TON network after adding developer and end-user support. Until recently, TON was mostly accessible for native wallets such as Telegram Wallet, as well as independent apps Tonkeeper and MyTonWallet. While Telegram is a wide-reaching chat app, the TON network remains relatively isolated in the trading and access ecosystem. Binance Wallet may bring a new wave of users through its updated versions. Binance Wallet Extension launches TON update For browser users of Binance Wallet , TON access will be available after a manual upgrade, in case the automatic upgrade does not work. Binance’s team urged users to check for the inclusion of the new network. The inclusion of TON does not guarantee the safety of apps or tokens. Binance Wallet only works as a self-custody tool and a gateway to third-party apps. The wallet activities are not regulated or supervised by any authority, and the TON chain is rarely tracked for scams or exploits. For now, Binance Wallet remains one of the few mainstream tools to access the TON chain. The wallet reports more than 71,000 daily active users, with over 300M users in the Binance ecosystem. For now, Binance Wallet is mostly used for BNB swaps, with smaller usage on Arbitrum, Ethereum, and Polygon. TON may start out as a niche chain, as its DeFi and token liquidity are limited. Binance Wallet is also used to swap tokens through its most active chains, and may boost decentralized trading on TON. As Cryptopolitan reported , Telegram and the TON Chain seek to gain influence on the US market. TON aims to tap into US tokenized stocks and stablecoin transfers. TON Chain mostly relies on GameFi TON Chain liquidity remains relatively low, at around $76M locked in decentralized apps. The chain carries nearly $1B in stablecoins in its native TON Chain version. The chain carries DeFi lending and DEXs, but at a smaller scale compared to major networks. One of the growing fields on the TON Chain is GameFi, based on apps spreading across Telegram communities. TON Chain relies on GameFi and Telegram apps for some of its activities, with a constant user growth in the past year. | Source: Dune Analytics As of January, TON Chain carried 6.3M users in its GameFi apps . Gamified trading and tokenized games remain active, although closed into their own ecosystem. Older games like Hamster Kombat and MemeFi are still active in their groups . Despite the activity, TON trades near its lower range at $1.53. The token has been sliding for the past year, despite the chain’s influence and the growth of Telegram.
