COIN stock is set to enter the S&P 500 Index, replacing Discover Financial Services on May 19. This will be the first-ever pure Crypto company to enter the index, thus increasing its visibility among institutional investors.Crypto: welcome to the S&P 500! This is a big deal. The S&P 500 is arguably the most tracked & influential index in the world, is a 401(k) cornerstone, and a magnet for institutional capital. It’s a great day for @coinbase – our customers, employees, retail and institutional...— Emilie Choi (@emiliemc) May 12, 2025 In the wake of the news, COIN jumped by 46% above its 2025 low, up to $258 in pre-market trade. It also hit $225 in after-hours trading, a more than 22% increase daily. The increase follows a recent miss in earnings whereby Q1 revenue declined by 10% to $2 billion.Still, transaction revenue increased to $ 1.26 billion, and the subscription and services of Coinbase, which involve payments for blockchain reward and stablecoins, turned to $696 million. The company’s fundamentals are still strong, even as it stretches out of spot trading.Market analysts are keeping a close watch on $297 as the next technical level for COIN. The bullish inverse head-and-shoulders pattern on the daily chart also backs that view, the breakup of the neckline is already confirmed. The stock is also moving above its 100- and 200-day moving averages, supporting the positive signal. However, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) is at 75.26, with signals for a short-term pullback since the asset is overbought.Source: Trading ViewMassive Deribit Acquisition Could Boost Long-Term ValueCoinbase’s $2.9 billion acquisition of Deribit, one of the leading crypto options platforms, adds to the positive momentum. It is the largest crypto merger ever and may enhance the attractiveness of the platform among institutional traders. Deribit’s derivatives infrastructure sets the exchange up to serve professional investors in a quickly evolving crypto market.The deal complements the expansion of Coinbase into DeFi and contributes to the bullish outlook of its stock. Although $500 may still not be in sight, analysts agree that increased demand by ETFs and index funds and further price increases in Bitcoin can drive COIN much higher in the near term.
