Why would SHV benefit from Coinbase's ETF investment?
Coinbase's move signals a broader trend of crypto institutions using Treasury ETFs for yield, potentially increasing flows into similar short-duration funds like SHV if stablecoin regulations evolve.
What is the downside risk for SHV?
If the GENIUS Act fails or stablecoin growth stalls, the anticipated demand may not materialize, and existing rate expectations already price in some Treasury strength.
