Coinbase Institutional Co-CEO: Second Wave of Institutional Capital Into Bitcoin Has Arrived
ChainCatcher reports that Brett Tejpaul, co-CEO of Coinbase Institutional, said in an interview that the “second wave” of institutional capital into Bitcoin has arrived. He revealed that seven of the world’s largest banks are now operating on Coinbase’s infrastructure and are experiencing their own “Kodak moment,” as they begin moving funds from traditional accounts to on-chain settlement. Tejpaul said the key driver of institutional adoption has shifted from Bitcoin ETFs to stablecoin payments. Funds can now be transferred from a Citibank account to USDC, moved across chains in one second, and then deposited into a corporate account on the other side. He revealed that stablecoin settlements have reached $400 million per hour, but remain just “a speck of dust” compared with the overall payments market. Payment providers will adopt them at scale before banks do. In addition, Coinbase is connecting U.S. funds to Deribit, which commands 85% of the options market.
