Ken Worthington has given his Hold rating due to a combination of factors affecting Coinbase Global. While Coinbase benefits from its investment in Circle and the associated USDC, the market may not fully appreciate the potential value these elements bring to the company. The attractive economics of USDC, both on and off the platform, contribute positively to Coinbase’s financials, with high margins and substantial revenue from Circle’s Reserve Fund.
Despite these benefits, Worthington maintains a Hold rating as the longer-term success of Coinbase hinges on broader developments within the cryptocurrency ecosystem. The company’s future growth is tied to advancements in tokenization and payments, and while the current participation rally in the crypto market boosts short-term revenue, the sustainability of this growth remains uncertain. Thus, the Hold rating reflects a balanced view of the potential opportunities and risks facing Coinbase.
In another report released yesterday, Jefferies also maintained a Hold rating on the stock with a $405.00 price target.
