  Coinbase just became the first and only crypto company to join the S&P 500. This milestone represents what the true believers, from retail investors to institutional investors to our employees and partners, knew all along. Crypto is here to stay.

  Two other thoughts: 1. Crypto is about to be in everyone's 401k 2. My goal is that in 5-10 years, getting into COIN50 index will feel as good as this

  Thank you to everyone who made it possible for a crypto company to join the S&P 500 for the first time in history.

  Crypto: welcome to the S&P 500! This is a big deal. The S&P 500 is arguably the most tracked & influential index in the world, is a 401(k) cornerstone, and a magnet for institutional capital. It's a great day for @coinbase - our customers, employees, retail and institutional

  Congrats @Coinbase on achieving this milestone for crypto. The S&P 500 is one of the most widely followed benchmarks in the world. Having a crypto-native company represented at that level is a big moment for the industry.

• @packym Packy McCormick on x

  I'm old enough to remember when they'd sell you a share of Coinbase for $33. Now it's joining the S&P 500. What a time to be alive.

  You forgot: Then they sue you.... Then you kick their ass and they drop the suit.... Then you enter the S&P 500.

  Well deserved recognition, @brian_armstrong and @coinbase! While you probably agree that active managers should depend on fundamental research, not index providers, to screen for stocks, @ARKInvest is pleased that index-sensitive managers will be compelled to consider $COIN now.

  Imagine battling the SEC for years, only to ascend to the S&P 500 just months later— There's no worthier steward of this victory than $COIN. Even sweeter that it's replacing the antiquated $DFS Congratulations to all Americans who still believe in and demand economic freedom
