Coinbase becomes core crypto market infrastructure

$COIN has evolved from a crypto exchange into a key piece of Wall Street’s digital asset infrastructure.
A few years ago, many institutions were still avoiding crypto exposure.
Now, major players are using Coinbase for custody, trading, and broader access to the market.
That shift matters because the companies building the rails are starting to look just as important as the assets themselves.
For Coinbase, the bigger signal is that regulated infrastructure could become one of the most valuable parts of the crypto stack.
