Bernstein raises target for 'most misunderstood' crypto firm Coinbase to $510 as shares near all-time high Analysts at research and brokerage firm Bernstein have raised their price target for Coinbase (ticker COIN) stock to $510 from $310, based on a combination of higher earnings projections, new growth drivers, and a revised valuation framework. Coinbase is the only crypto-native firm in the S&P 500 index but remains the "most misunderstood" company in Bernstein's crypto coverage, analysts led by Gautam Chhugani said in a Wednesday note to clients. Chhugani cited the exchange's diversified business lines, including leading U.S. crypto trading, providing custody services for most Bitcoin exchange-traded fund issuers, and incubating Base, Ethereum's fastest-growing Layer 2 and a key hub for tokenization like JPMorgan Chase's proposed JPMD coin.

Uphold CEO discusses XRP staking via Flare, weighs US regulatory hurdles Without a doubt, some XRP +1.65% devotees were ecstatic when Uphold said at the end of last month it was exploring ways to let users stake and earn yield on the token. Uphold CEO Simon McLoughlin expressed optimism about the possibility during a recent interview with The Block, saying the XRP staking appears both “feasible and promising.” But there’s a catch: “[It’s] challenging because XRP isn’t a proof-of-stake network,” McLoughlin said. “There’s not a staking mechanism you can rely on.”

US spot Bitcoin ETFs set to hit $1 trillion cumulative trading volume milestone in less than 18 months since launch U.S. spot Bitcoin BTC +0.86% The spot Bitcoin ETFs grew swiftly following their launch, attracting $100 billion in trading volume by March 2024 and $200 billion by April 2024 as bitcoin rose to reach what was then an all-time high of nearly $74,000. However, the trading volume trajectory then slowed slightly amid a cooling-off phase for the crypto market that saw bitcoin consolidate in a range between $50,000 and $70,000 for the next seven months. Bitcoin finally broke out of that range to reach new all-time highs again following pro-crypto Donald Trump's U.S. presidential election victory in November, with the spot Bitcoin ETFs surpassing the $500 billion cumulative volume milestone soon after. It took a few more months for the funds to reach the $750 billion mark this February.

Argentina anti-corruption office clears Javier Milei in Libra crypto promotion scandal Argetina's Anti-Corruption Office (OA) said that the country's President, Javier Milei, was acting in a personal capacity when he promoted the Libra ($LIBRA) cryptocurrency, which dramatically rose and fell in a widely-publicized event in February, thus concluding he did not break the country's public ethics laws. Milei originally promoted the Libra cryptocurrency from his personal X account as a way to support small businesses and startups in Argentina, but deleted the post after the token crashed 90% from its top market cap of over $2 billion. The resulting scandal, dubbed "Cryptogate" by local media, led to calls for Milei's impeachment by opposition political figures and spurred lawsuits from lawyers in the country, representing investors who lost money.
