HomeStock IdeasLong IdeasFinancialsSummaryCoinbase Global is undergoing a structural transformation, no longer just a leveraged proxy for Bitcoin price movements. I rate COIN a Buy with a 12-month price target of $240–$260, supported by stablecoin revenue growth, new product materiality, and underappreciated base optionality. Subscription and service revenues, especially from stablecoins, now represent 44% of net revenue and have grown year-over-year despite crypto market declines. New products—derivatives, prediction markets, tokenized equities, and agentic payment rails—are driving material revenue and are not yet priced into consensus models. herstockart/iStock Unreleased via Getty ImagesMost analyses of Coinbase Global (COIN) view the stock as a simple bet on cryptocurrency price growth. It means that, when Bitcoin rises, COIN outperforms, and when it falls, COIN falls further.
