The European crypto ecosystem is changing. Since the entry into force of the MiCA regulation, crypto applications must now hold a license issued by a Member State to operate throughout the territory of the European Union. This new situation has forced major players to close their doors, forcing users to move their funds. And Coinbase intends to take advantage of this to attract new capital! It is in this context that Coinbase is offering a 5% bonus in Bitcoin for incoming cryptocurrency transfers made before August 2. A very interesting opportunity for those considering moving their digital assets to a recognized and firmly established application. Le Journal du Coin offers you this promotional article in collaboration with Coinbase.
What exactly are we talking about?
Coinbase’s offering is simple. Any transfer of eligible cryptocurrencies from another exchange or an external wallet entitles you to a bonus of 5% of the transferred value, paid in Bitcoin. Concretely, the bonus applies to a maximum amount of €1,000,000 in cryptos transferredwhich represents a maximum theoretical bonus of €50,000 a BTC. A sum that can make the difference for investors with substantial portfolios and seeking to reorganize them. The offer targets users in several European countries: Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Poland, Belgium, Sweden and Great Britain. To be eligible, you must follow our link and you will then be guided to the promotion (you will also need to subscribe to Coinbase One).
What’s eligible…and what’s not
Attention : only incoming cryptocurrency transfers from another exchange or external wallet are taken into account. Conversely, are not eligible : THE fiat currency deposits (bank transfers, SEPA, etc.); THE cryptocurrency purchases made directly on Coinbase; THE conversions crypto vers crypto. In other words, it is not a reward for a simple deposit of euros or a purchase on the application, but rather an incentive to transfer digital assets already held elsewhere towards Coinbase. An important nuance to keep in mind before you get started.
An offer that fits into a broader context
This campaign is not trivial. She intervenes while Binance, one of the largest global exchanges, announced the suspension of certain services in Europe lack of MiCA license obtained before July 1st. Coinbase is taking advantage of this situation to position itself as a regulated and sustainable alternative. The platform stands out from the competition with several major advantages. Founded in 2012, it has gone through all market cycles without ever wavering, building a solid reputation. Listed on the stock exchange and regulated under MiCA via its Luxembourg entity, it offers a rigorous framework of trust and compliance. Its clean interface and intuitive mobile app make it an ideal choice for beginners, while with “Coinbase Advanced” it is also aimed at experienced traders. It also has insurance against theft and a history of compensating users in the event of an incident. The application offers a catalog of around 400 cryptocurrencies and a wide range of services: staking, non-custodial wallet, VISA card, blockchain Base, etc. Something to make everyone happy!
Conditions to be aware of before transferring
Although the offer is attractive, it is nevertheless essential to take into account all its parameters to take full advantage of it.
The bonus is calculated on the “incoming net worth” during the offer period, i.e. the total amount of eligible transfers reduced exits (withdrawals, sending to another wallet, etc.). Any outflow of funds during the period may therefore reduce the amount of your winnings. If the majority of popular cryptos are taken into account (around 80 tokens), not all deposited tokens are necessarily eligible. You can find the exact list of those eligible for the offer here. Furthermore, the payment of the bonus is not done all at once. He is distributed in equal monthly installments over a period of 24 months. To obtain the full bonus, you will therefore have to leave your assets on Coinbase et stay subscribed to Coinbase One throughout this duration. Any withdrawal or transfer during this period could result in a reduction, or even a resumption, of the bonus already paid. It is therefore important to have a clear vision of your medium-term liquidity needs. Finally, the value of the bonus is determined in euros (or pounds sterling depending on country of residence) at the time of deposit and then converted into bitcoin. The bonus is therefore exposed to fluctuations in the BTC price once credited to the account. Before transferring your funds, we recommend that you consult carefully read the full terms of the offer on the Coinbase website. The exact terms (bonus rate, cap, period) may vary between users and countries.
Conclusion
The 5% Bitcoin bonus offer offered by Coinbase fits into a European regulatory context in full restructuring. For users who need or wish to move their cryptocurrencies to a regulated application, this is an opportunity. With a ceiling of €1,000,000 and a maximum bonus of €50,000 in BTC, the operation can be particularly interesting for investors with significant portfolios. But like any promotional offer, it includes conditions that it is essential to master: limited eligibility for incoming crypto transfers, installment payment over 24 monthset obligation to maintain assets on the app. The deadline is tight: transfers must be carried out before August 2. So hurry up if you’re interested, it would be a shame to miss the boat!
