A BTC Halving Livestream?! 🧐
The Bitcoin USD (BTC-USD) halving is nearly upon us. We only have 2 days remaining! 🤯
And with that, we have a question for you, ATG Nation . . .
What would you think about a BTC halving livestream? 🤩
Let us hear from you! 👇
As we’ve been saying, this event only happens every four years . . . so we’d love to ring in this crypto holiday with you! ❤️
Dean: Not Your Ordinary Update on COIN 0.00%↑ 🪙
When we say invest in companies with truly innovative technology and solutions, we really mean it.
Sometimes these companies absolutely blow us away . . .
Such is the case with Coinbase Global Inc. (Nasdaq: COIN).
Remember, this is a stock that mainstream media enticed investors to sell, rather than buy, as it plummeted to $30.
Since hitting its lows, it’s risen as much as 600%!
I know what you’re probably thinking: You guys have covered COIN 0.00%↑ extensively this year — what more could you possibly share?
Well, as it turns out, COIN 0.00%↑ is full of surprises.
And the latest surprise from its bag of tricks could entice investors to bid the stock higher once they price in this bit of news . . .
COIN 0.00%↑ Taking It to the Next Level 📊
If you’re not familiar with COIN 0.00%↑, it’s a $218 stock representing a $53 billion company.
In essence, it’s an exchange that facilitates the buying and selling of cryptocurrencies and non-fungible tokens (NFTs).
COIN 0.00%↑ makes money by charging a fee to facilitate transactions on its platform. But today, I don’t want to talk about this segment of its business.
I cover this extensively here on YouTube and I cover it in-depth in Substack here!
Just know that COIN 0.00%↑’s fundamentals are strong, and it will likely benefit from the crypto bull market we believe is just unfolding — enticing investors to bid its stock up.
But recently, COIN 0.00%↑ quietly released major news: It created a Layer 2 protocol called Base, that could generate a lot of money for the company!
A Layer 2 (L2) blockchain just means it’s built on top of a Layer 1 (L1), supporting it in the process by making the underlying network more scalable and, in some instances, cheaper and faster.
And if I’m being honest, Base is having a bit of a moment:
These numbers are amazing, but I’m not surprised because it services over 110 million users globally.
COIN 0.00%↑ now has the unique opportunity to serve as the gateways for crypto adoption: from consumers buying their first crypto on the centralized exchange, to users going further down the rabbit hole via Base.
Despite launching less than a year ago, Base now ranks third in total value locked (TVL) with $5.3 billion locked.
It’s onboarding thousands to its chain, now ranking first in terms of active addresses among L2s.
Base recently dethroned Arbitrum USD (ARB-USD) with 360K daily active addresses, up 269% in the last month.
Remember, COIN 0.00%↑ generates revenue from every transaction on this chain. And it recently jumped to second place in terms of daily DEX trading volume on L2s.
Considering the value of stablecoins locked on L2s, it now ranks second overall at $1.7 billion — up over 500% in the last 30 days!
It’s clear that Base could be massive for COIN 0.00%↑ . . . but will it continue to see adoption?
The Billion-Dollar Question 🤔
From what I can tell, the answer is yes.
One reason is that using Base tends to be cheaper than processing transactions on the underlying L1, Ethereum.
And numbers don’t lie . . .
Some research indicates that Base, and consequently COIN 0.00%↑, could be generating as much as $400K to $800K a day:
According to Dune, a crypto analytics tool, Base saw as much as $7 million in profit just in the month of April.
But get this: In March, it facilitated 2.9 million transactions — and we’re just in the beginning of this crypto bull market!
This is all very bullish for COIN 0.00%↑, so what’s our new price target?
COIN 0.00%↑ to $1K? 🐂
Will COIN 0.00%↑ break $1K? That’s hard to say. But here’s what we do know!
In 2021, its all-time high was $357.
Back then, did it have Base, a robust L2 ecosystem seeing nearly 3 million transactions a month?
No.
Was it facilitating the transactions and custody of assets for Bitcoin USD (BTC-USD) ETFs seeing billions in volume?
Nope!
The fundamentals of COIN 0.00%↑ have grown, as you can see, and the crypto bull market has potential to be historic with institutional buyers leading it.
One outcome seems very likely for COIN 0.00%↑: New highs are likely ahead. Especially once mainstream media becomes privy to the growth that COIN 0.00%↑ will likely report.
COIN 0.00%↑ is only one stock among many crypto assets that we’re bullish on!

#GBC100: Wednesday, April 17, 2024
The #GBC100 is down 1.01% today.
Created on September 22, 2022, the #GBC100 is an index/portfolio comprised of opportunity, growth, innovation, and crypto-related investments.
Our goals with the #GBC100 are twofold . . .
First, we want readers to get a sense of what our investments are doing in the market, because they can sometimes perform very differently than traditional indices (like the S&P 500 or Nasdaq 100).
Second, we’d like to eventually turn the #GBC100 into an ETF.
That way, instead of owning hundreds of growth stocks, you can get exposure to ATG Digital thinking — in opportunity, growth, innovation, and crypto — all in one place.
To learn more or to express your support for the launch of an ETF (by completing a poll), click here.
Tomorrow: Dean will be back to discuss a crypto that’s always making headlines. 👀
