Coinbase Expands into Derivatives Market with $2.9 Billion Deribit Acquisition

Coinbase Global Inc. has announced the acquisition of Deribit, a major player in cryptocurrency derivatives, for a substantial $2.9 billion. This deal is structured with a payment of $700 million in cash along with the transfer of 11 million of Coinbase's Class A common stock shares. According to Reuters, the transaction underscores Coinbase's strategic objective to bolster its foothold in the crypto derivatives market by integrating spot, futures, and options trading.

Following the announcement, Coinbase's shares saw a 5.2% increase in pre-market trading, a positive shift after a 21% dip earlier this year. This acquisition mirrors a broader industry trend towards consolidation, as evidenced by Kraken's recent $1.5 billion acquisition of retail futures platform NinjaTrader. The deal remains subject to regulatory scrutiny in Dubai, where Deribit holds its operating license.

Deribit CEO Luuk Strijers highlighted the complementary strengths of the two companies, emphasizing their potential to influence the global crypto derivatives market landscape. As Coinbase moves to expand its reach and offerings, this acquisition positions it as a more diversified digital asset trading platform.

In further developments, Molson Coors saw its underlying net income rise by 74.4% to $202.8 million, attributed to improved operational performance. The company also reported a growth in brand volumes by 4.4%, with notable strength in the Americas, where volumes increased by 5.3%, particularly in the U.S., as detailed by the company.

55 minutes agoSHOP

Shopify's stock recently dipped following its guidance for the second quarter of 2025, which projected revenue growth in the mid-20s percentage range. Despite slightly surpassing analysts' expectations of 22.4%, the forecast for gross profit growth falls short at a high-teen percentage rate compared to the anticipated 20.2% rise. Reuters highlighted that this conservative outlook has contributed to investors' cautious approach. Additionally, Shopify is facing challenges that could hamper its future growth, including a strong U.S. dollar and decreased European consumer spending. The company also expressed worries over ongoing global trade uncertainties, particularly related to U.S. trade policies and tariffs, which could impact the broader retail and e-commerce landscape. These external pressures are adding layers of complexity to Shopify's financial performance perspectives, as reported by AP News. As of May 8, 2025, Shopify's shares are trading at $91.79, reflecting a decline of $3.46 or 3.63% from its previous close. The stock opened at $89.55, reached an intraday high of $99.24, and a low of $84.90. These trading numbers underscore the market's reaction to Shopify's current guidance and the broader economic environment influencing its stock performance.
