 Vice president of investors relations Anil Gupta told CoinDesk that the ETFs are a “win-win for Coinbase.” It provides custody services to 8 out of the ten new spot Bitcoin ETFs, and although custody is “a relatively small part of the business,” Gupta said that ETFs are “invigorating the entire sector.’’ 
 This has resulted in “a lot of activity and engagement on the platform,” he said.
