"We see Coinbase’s growth as validation that the ecosystem will only continue to grow in size, influence and impact — ultimately ushering in a more open financial system for the world," the company said in a blog post.
Coinbase has been growing like a weed when Bitcoin and Ethereum prices were raging early this year. But even when the prices pulled back, Coinbase continued to expand, having recently introduced a stablecoin, adding new cryptocurrencies to its platform, and launching new tools for institutional and professional investors.
The result of that expansion is that $8 billion valuation -- as TechCrunch notes, it's a huge increase from the $1.6 billion the company was valued in August 2017.
