CEO Sumit Gupta celebrated on X, highlighting how this partnership leverages blockchain transparency for secure, scalable operations.
Coinbase’s backing is also an exhibition of faith in emerging markets like India and the Middle East.
Metaplanet’s Valuation Shockingly Tanks Below BTC Holdings
Metaplanet, the Tokyo listed company that’s been gobbling up Bitcoin like it’s going out of style, hit a rough patch this Tuesday with their market to Bitcoin NAV slipping to 0.99. This is the first time it’s ever dipped below 1.
Since mid-June, this metric has tanked by over seven points, mirroring a whopping 75% drop. Metaplanet hit the pause button on Bitcoin buys for the last two weeks, with their final purchase announced on September 30, 2025. No fresh BTC holdings added means no immediate boost to that glittering treasury.
However, not everyone is panicking. Jad Comair, CEO of Melanion Capital in particular has other ideas.
“Metaplanet trading below its Bitcoin NAV doesn’t signal failure: it reveals a market that still misunderstands Bitcoin treasury models,” he says.
That’s a wrap, friends. Today’s main stories showcase blockchain transparency as crypto’s secret sauce, exposing errors for quick fixes, building ironclad trust, and attracting billions in investments.
