Citi Upgrades Coinbase (COIN) to Buy, Anticipating Improved Regulatory Landscape for Cryptocurrency Assets
Jul 24, 2024 at 02:20 pm
Analysts raised their guidance on the cryptocurrency-linked stock from neutral at $260 to a buy with a target of $345
Investment bank Citi upgraded shares of cryptocurrency trading platform Coinbase Global Inc (NASDAQ:COIN) from neutral to buy on Monday, anticipating an improved regulatory landscape for cryptocurrency assets.
What Happened: Analysts led by Peter Christiansen raised their guidance on the cryptocurrency-linked stock from neutral at $260 to a buy with a target of $345, according to a Bloomberg report.
"Shifts in the U.S. Election landscape and the Supreme Court's overturning of the long-standing Chevron precedent has changed our view on Coinbase's regulatory risks," Christiansen wrote in the note.
The analyst added that the upcoming U.S. elections are taking a positive pivot toward the cryptocurrency industry in the wake of President Joe Biden's withdrawal from the presidential race.
"President Joe Biden's time in office had led many to conclude that the potential for pro-cryptocurrency legislation would fare better under a different administration."
Furthermore, the analyst believes that the Supreme Court’s decision to remove the Chevron Defence Doctrine, which limits regulators’ power, could benefit Coinbase in its ongoing legal tussle with the SEC.

Why It Matters: Coinbase is one of the most high-profile cryptocurrency-associated stocks on Wall Street, with a market capitalization of $63.26 billion.
Shares of the company have jumped nearly 70% year-to-date, coinciding with the broader recovery in the cryptocurrency market. This follows a lackluster performance during the 2022-23 bear market when the stock failed to reach $100.
Coinbase was hit by an enforcement action by the SEC on charges of operating an unregistered securities exchange. In response, the cryptocurrency exchange has also sued federal regulators, accusing them of hindering the industry’s growth.
Price Action: Shares of Coinbase closed 2.38% lower at $258.83 during Tuesday's regular trading session, according to data from Benzinga Pro.
