Some companies represent growth — others lead it. In the crypto world, Coinbase has done both, earning a coveted spot on TIME’s 2025 list of the 100 Most Influential Companies.
TIME Honors Coinbase As A ‘Disruptor’
Coinbase was named a “disruptor” on the TIME 100 list after a landmark year where it became one of the most prominent crypto advocates in Washington, D.C. The company’s inclusion came shortly after a series of major wins, including the U.S. Senate passing the GENIUS stablecoin bill, which helped boost Coinbase’s stock from around $303 to $382 per share.

TIME wrote, “The company, which in May became the first crypto stock to be added to the bellwether S&P 500 index, is a key driver of the industry’s policy efforts in Washington D.C. If industry-friendly bills are passed, Coinbase stands to become an even bigger hub for U.S. crypto activity.”
Expanding Globally While Reshaping Regulation
In a significant step forward, Coinbase secured a MiCA license in the European Union on June 20, authorized by Luxembourg’s financial regulator. The company announced plans to base its EU operations in Luxembourg, marking a major push into international markets.
In addition, Coinbase is seeking SEC approval to offer tokenized equities — a move that could position it alongside retail trading platforms like Robinhood and WeBull in offering hybrid assets to users.
President Trump Signals Support For Crypto
Speaking at the “Coinbase State of Crypto Summit” in June 2025, U.S. President Donald Trump pledged regulatory clarity for digital assets: “We will be working to create clear and simple market frameworks that will allow America to dominate the future of crypto and Bitcoin.”
This continued momentum signals not only confidence in Coinbase, but in the broader digital asset space as institutional and retail interest grows.
