Coinbase, le plus grand échange de crypto aux États-Unis, a récemment fait la une des journaux alors qu'il vise à accroître sa présence dans l'industrie dans un contexte de baisse de la part de marché et de la chute des cours des actions. Bien que l'entreprise ait récemment a licencié une partie importante de ses effectifs, il a annoncé l'acquisition d'une importante société de gestion d'actifs numériques appelée One River. La société de gestion existe depuis 2013 et a été fondée par le PDG Eric Peters. 

Selon un annonce de Coinbase, One River Digital Asset Management (ORDAM) passera progressivement pour devenir Coinbase Asset Management (CBAM) et fonctionnera désormais comme une filiale indépendante et en propriété exclusive de l'échange crypto. Suite à l'annonce, le cours de l'action de l'échange de crypto a augmenté d'environ 1,2%, et COIN s'est échangé à environ $64,51 après la clôture du marché le 3 mars. 

“Coinbase and ORDAM share an ethos grounded in prudent risk management, a trait that has enabled both firms to successfully navigate the recent market turmoil. Culturally, our two organizations are strongly aligned on pursuing the opportunity in digital assets with an uncompromising priority on safety and soundness. With this acquisition, we are excited to welcome ORDAM’s best-in-class team to Coinbase and to partner more deeply to expand institutional access to digital assets,” noted the crypto exchange in the blog post. 

Interestingly, it has also been confirmed that following the transition of ORDAM to CDAM, the former’s team will also join the crypto exchange under the continued leadership of the digital asset management firm’s current CEO, Eric Peters. Coinbase noted in the announcement that Peters has an experience of around 30 years in the industry. 

It is crucial to note that ORDAM is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) as an investment adviser, and the crypto exchange wants “minimal disruption to current business activities” amid the transition.

“ORDAM will continue to operate as an independent entity under Coinbase, segregated from our trading and exchange businesses, with minimal disruption to current business activities and standard controls implemented among well-regulated and diversified financial institutions,” said the crypto exchange. 

Coinbase a récemment commencé à étendre sa présence dans l'espace crypto après avoir connu des circonstances défavorables en 2022, et par conséquent, il a également lancé une campagne de propagande contre la SEC for its unfair treatment of crypto exchanges. Interestingly, institutional interest in the crypto exchange remains high, as Cathie Wood’s ARK Invest recently récupéré $9,2 millions d'actions Coinbase (COIN) à la mi-Fed. 

The crypto exchange noted that as of Q4 2022, roughly 25% of the 100 largest hedge funds in the world by assets under management wanted to work with Coinbase. The exchange noted that the acquisition of ORDAM “aligns with our long-term strategy to unlock further opportunities for institutions to participate in the cryptoeconomy.”
