1. Coinbase Global, Inc. (NASDAQ:COIN)

Coinbase Global, Inc. manages a crypto trading exchange. The company’s stock was recently initiated with an Outperform rating by Gautam Chhugani. The optimism comes after US President Donald Trump openly supported the development of crypto infrastructure, calling for the US to become the crypto capital of the world.

Coinbase controls 66% of the crypto trading market in the US boasting approximately 10 million users. Analysts in the past have mentioned how competition could erode the company’s moat but being the first major crypto exchange to cement itself in the US, Coinbase’s dominance will likely overshadow any pressure from peers.

“COIN bears worry about rising competition and fee pressure, but they overlook the massive TAM (total addressable market) expansion from re-shoring of global crypto markets back to the U.S.”

Famed investor Cathie Wood also added to her Coinbase holding earlier this month, bagging 64,358 shares as the stock plunged 17% in a single day. It has been recovering slowly since, showcasing the strength of the company.
