Not sure if this is related or not, but Coinbase's cryptocurrencies of choice (Bitcoin, Ethereum and Litecoin) just got a huge price bump in the past 2 hours which makes total sense because if this "Coinbase Custody" system is adopted by businesses and institutions, huge amount of money will be poured into these cryptocurrencies which will dwarf the current price.

Am I missing something or it makes sense?

Who the hell knows with cryptocurrencies. Investor confidence sways easily and government approvals can make or break viability not to mention most of the populace (including the institutions) have no idea how to practically make use of them. It's probably here to stay, but (hopefully) in a different iteration than we're used to today: more eco-friendly and sustainable.

As someone who watches the price of bitcoin in detail every day, the price bump from today is not related to this news.

It's just usual market activity (stop hunting)

Institutions want investments that confer actual rights, something which these cryptocurrencies do not do.

If you are expecting a large influx of institutional investment money, I expect you will be disappointed.

That’s not true. For example, owning bitcoin gives you property rights.
