Coinbase Closes Its Bundle Product After 8 Months On The Market

Coinbase closes its Bundle project after being available for 8 months on the market after allegedly figuring out that it is the end of the altseason. More about their decision, we read in the coming altcoin news below.

The altseason appears to be over and nobody is sure if it’s ever coming back. Coinbase reportedly got the message very fast and decided to bin its diversified crypto-bundle product. A FAQ from the company reads:

‘’Coinbase Bundle purchases have been deprecated, as such all assets purchased in the Conibase Bundle have been redistributed to their respective individual asset wallets.’’

Coinbase Bundles were meant to provide the investors with a diversified digital asset portfolio which could be dollar-cost averaged by using the same tactic that the investors use in traditional asset classes. Investors could also spend up to $25 to purchase a bundle of five cryptocurrencies which were easily balanced in proportion to their own market cap. For example, Litecoin, Ethereum Classic, Ethereum, and Bitcoin comprised each bundle. In a combination with Coinbase Learn and Asset Pages, the bundles were meant to look good for crypto newbies that are aiming for the dollar cost average into some long positions without having to conduct a huge amount of technical analysis.

When it was first introduced in 2018 in September, Coinbase noted:

‘’The vision of an open financial system depends on people’s ability to understand, explore, and choose cryptocurrencies. We expect that millions of people will make their first cryptocurrency purchase in the coming years. But all too often, getting started can be overwhelming for people learning about crypto for the first time.’’

Now, after 8 months, Coinbase closes the Bundle project and this decision is bound to draw some criticism but maybe pleasure as well from those who dislike the company. It could be a very smart move to bin the product since the altcoins have been crashing recently as bitcoin corrected and managed to get on the rallying track. As noted in the latest cryptocurrency news, the cancellation of the Coinbase Bundle product could add some credibility to the argument that the diversification does not always work for crypto despite the sector being too volatile or calm.
