The community speculated that the primary goal of distributing BASE might be to boost Coinbase&#8217;s (COIN) stock price.<\/p>\n<p>JPMorgan shared a similar view, raising its forecast for the company&#8217;s stock to $404 by December 2026. They cited &#8220;new monetization opportunities and reduced risks&#8221; as Coinbase increasingly focuses on the L2 network ecosystem and the <a href=\"https:\/\/forklog.com\/en\/news\/what-are-stablecoins\">stablecoin<\/a> economy.<\/p>\n<p>Bank specialists noted an additional factor in the company&#8217;s interest income from Circle&#8217;s reserves for <a href=\"https:\/\/forklog.com\/en\/news\/what-is-the-usdc-stablecoin\">USDC<\/a>. Currently, the crypto exchange distributes most of the funds\u2014around $374 million annually\u2014among users. Analysts indicate that Coinbase is considering limiting these payouts.<\/p>\n<p>They also pointed to the integration of a <a href=\"https:\/\/forklog.com\/en\/news\/what-is-a-decentralised-exchange-dex\">DEX<\/a> aggregator into the Base app as a response to the growing trading volumes on decentralized platforms, which now account for 20% of the total market.<\/p>\n<p>During Friday&#8217;s trading session, COIN&#8217;s price surged nearly 10%, approaching $355. Coinbase&#8217;s market value is approximately $91 billion.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"437\" src=\"https:\/\/forklog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/img-af412757be36d91d-7791805589233176-1024x437.jpg\" alt=\"Coinbase Global, Inc.
