Coinbase Global Inc (NASDAQ: COIN) is in focus this morning after a JPMorgan analyst upgraded the crypto stock just hours ahead of its Q4 earnings report.
Surge in BTC a positive for Coinbase stockKenneth Worthington expects the Nasdaq-listed firm to see a boost to its earnings power now that institutional capital is flowing into Bitcoin.
The Securities & Exchange Commission of the United States approved the Spot Bitcoin ETFs in January (find out more) – which have contributed materially to pushing BTC well above the $50,000 level. According to the JPM analyst:
What was initially a sell-the-news event has turned into meaningful Bitcoin price appreciation [that] is contributing to better Spot Bitcoin ETF flows, which is, in turn, driving BTC prices higher.
Being a bellwether, Bitcoin is dragging other crypto coins up with it as well, he added.

Interestingly, though, he still sees the crypto exchange as enormously overvalued. The JPMorgan analyst left his price objective on $COIN unchanged at $80 and told clients today that “we’re still not recommending the stock”.
His price target suggests a more than 50% downside from here. Coinbase Global Inc is expected to lose just 9 cents a share in its about-to-be-reported quarter versus $2.46 per share a year ago.
