Coinbase Global Stock Rises. The Company Is Set to Join the S&P 500

Shares of Coinbase Global (COIN) jumped in after-hours trading Monday on the news that the crypto exchange would be added to the S&P 500. 

The stock, which had risen roughly 4% during an upbeat regular session driven by trade-related optimism, was recently up more than 9% in late action, indicating a move toward share prices last seen in January. Bitcoin, the leading cryptocurrency, recently changed hands around $102,980. 

“Thank you to everyone who made it possible for a crypto company to join the S&P 500 for the first time in history,” Coinbase said in a message on the social network X.

Coinbase will replace Discover Financial Services (DFS) in the benchmark index before trading opens next Monday, according to S&P Dow Jones Indices. Discover is set to merge with Capital One Financial (COF) after their deal got the regulatory go-ahead in April. 

Shares of Coinbase are down about 17% in 2025 through Monday’s close. The company has a market cap of roughly $50.8 billion, according to Visible Alpha data.
