Coinbase Launches U.S. Bitcoin Yield Fund for Accredited Investors
Coinbase has unveiled the Coinbase Bitcoin Yield Fund (USCBYF), a new investment vehicle targeting accredited U.S. investors. The fund combines Bitcoin's price appreciation with yield-generating strategies like lending and basis trading, aiming to outperform passive holdings. This marks Coinbase's latest move to expand its suite of regulated crypto products amid growing institutional demand.
The launch follows the success of an offshore bitcoin yield fund introduced earlier this year. American investors had been clamoring for a domestic equivalent, prompting Coinbase to create this SEC-compliant offering. Bitcoin continues to gain traction as a store of value, with investors increasingly seeking ways to generate returns beyond simple price appreciation.
