Coinbase Global to be added to the prestigious S&P 500 Index, marking a major milestone for the leading U.S. crypto exchange.
According to a press release from S&P Dow Jones Indices, Coinbase will replace Discover Financial Services in the S&P 500 before markets open on Monday, May 19, 2025.
A major milestone for Coinbase
Coinbase’s inclusion in the S&P 500 reflects its rising significance in the financial sector and the confidence investors have in the company’s long-term strategy. Having gone public via direct listing in 2021, Coinbase has firmly established itself as a leader in the crypto economy, offering trading, custody, and blockchain infrastructure services.
Following the announcement, COIN shares surged over 10% in after-hours trading, reaching $229. The company also ended regular trading on March 12 with a 3.96% gain, pushing its market capitalization to $52.85 billion.

The decision to include Coinbase in the index comes amid renewed market interest in digital assets and increasing institutional adoption of crypto services. For Coinbase, this is not only a symbolic achievement but also a pathway to greater visibility, as many institutional funds and ETFs are benchmarked to the S&P 500.
“Coinbase just became the first and only crypto company to be included in the S&P 500,” wrote Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong on his X page.
Implications for investors and markets
Joining the S&P 500 often triggers increased demand for a company’s shares due to automatic purchases by index-tracking funds. It also boosts liquidity and visibility among a broader pool of investors. For Coinbase, this listing serves as another strong signal of its growing influence in the evolving financial landscape.
The S&P 500 is one of the most closely followed stock indices in the world and is widely used as a barometer for the health of the U.S. economy. It is managed by S&P Dow Jones Indices, a division of S&P Global (NYSE: SPGI), which oversees index changes in response to market shifts and corporate developments.
The announcement comes just days after Coinbase revealed its $2.9 billion acquisition of Deribit, a leading crypto derivatives exchange. According to Greg Tusar, VP of Institutional Products at Coinbase, the deal is expected to significantly expand the company’s global footprint.
This index inclusion highlights the growing integration of crypto firms into traditional financial markets and solidifies Coinbase’s place among the most influential public companies in the United States.
