Coinbase Joins the S&P 500, and Other News

In Episode 4 of The LOCAL, your grandma accidentally buys Bitcoin.

 

Well, not directly. But with Coinbase joining the S&P 500 and BlackRock still hoovering up supply through ETFs, it’s safe to say crypto has slipped into the retirement funds of the world.

 

Tim and Marcus dig into the slow institutional creep, the kind that happens without the hype, memes, or headlines. Just flows.

 

This week:

• How Coinbase made it to the S&P 500
• What the GENIUS Act means for stablecoins and Treasury competition
• Kraken’s quiet pivot to prime
• Why this might be a stealth bull run
• The problem with low volatility and short memories
