Coinbase will be the custodian for the BTC of most of the companies that will have their ETFs approved sooner or later. This one is not going away any time soon.
In regards to on and off ramps for crypto, I noticed recently that my bank does not allow me to buy crypto with my card anymore.
I can still do that with Revolut. I am not buying anything anymore though and once I put my hands on some profits I'm using crypto cards to cash out.
I'll also be spending stables during the bear market rather than cashing out and using fiat.
I'm having a quite frugal life which allows that.
Yeah, I am not worried about Coinbase going anywhere, I am just not happy about only having limited options. It's pretty rare that I ever move crypto to fiat, but if I can eliminate real world debt with crypto or if I get life changing gains, then I will do it.
I get you.
