Services in the company’s Prime offering will be available to clients of BlackRock’s portfolio management platform for institutional investors, Aladdin, the company said on its blog. Coinbase will provide … trading, custody, prime brokerage, and reporting capabilities. BlackRock is the largest asset manager in the world with more than $8 trillion under management.

Finviz shows COIN's short float as almost 20%, so some of the price change might be due to a short cover rally. Looks like trading on COIN was halted this morning for a short period of time.
