Coinbase Global, Inc. (NASDAQ:COIN) operates a platform for crypto assets. Rosenblatt Securities initiated coverage on the company’s stock with a “Buy” rating and the price objective of $305. The firm’s analysts remained optimistic about the future of cryptocurrency and related equities, as they believe that potential regulatory changes and institutional adoption can act as critical drivers. The analysts opine that the new administration is expected to act as a significant positive catalyst for the broader crypto industry. They expect that the regulations will result in increased institutional involvement, which can benefit Coinbase Global, Inc. (NASDAQ:COIN) and have a favourable impact on the broader cryptocurrency market.

Notably, the White House has created a national Bitcoin reserve, which will be financed by Bitcoins that are seized in criminal or civil cases. Rosenblatt Securities analyst Chris Brendler believes that while investing in cryptocurrency can result in price volatility risks, Coinbase Global, Inc. (NASDAQ:COIN) happens to be a clear blue chip in the sector which is well-placed to benefit from positive trends. Furthermore, the Coinbase One subscription model is expected to offer a more stable and predictable revenue stream, which will help reduce dependency on volatile trading volumes.

Patient Capital Management, a value investing firm, released its Q4 2024 investor letter. Here is what the fund said:

“The top performers in the fourth quarter were once again Financials and Travel names. We’ve been over-indexed to them since the pandemic, which has served us well. We strategically added to certain financial names like Sofi Technologies (SOFI) and Coinbase Global, Inc. (NASDAQ:COIN) during the year. Both companies rebounded strongly in the fourth quarter. We believe Coinbase is building the platform for the crypto ecosystem. Certain recent advances (wallet, base improvements, USD Coin) could cause an adoption tipping point. We like that Coinbase continues to widen its moat by persistently investing in innovation.”
