- Bank of America upgraded Coinbase to Buy with a $340 price target, implying nearly 40% upside.
- Goldman Sachs raised its rating to Buy, setting a $303 target amid structural growth shifts.
- Analysts emphasize Coinbase’s push into new areas like equities trading, prediction markets, and real-world asset tokenization.
Coinbase Global Inc. has garnered positive attention from major Wall Street institutions, underscoring confidence in its strategic diversification amid a recent stock pullback.
On January 8, 2026, Bank of America analyst Craig Siegenthaler upgraded the stock from Neutral to Buy, pointing to accelerated product development and opportunities in tokenization.
Goldman Sachs followed suit earlier in the week, upgrading to Buy and highlighting growth in derivatives, infrastructure, and innovative products such as tokenization and prediction markets.
The stock has declined 40% from its July 2025 highs, with rising short interest creating an attractive entry point for investors, according to analysts.
Coinbase is evolving into a broader financial services platform,

Coinbase’s ambitious roadmap includes launching 24/5 equities trading for S&P 500 stocks, international equity perpetuals in 2026, and a new prediction markets tab via partnership with CFTC-regulated Kalshi.
The company plans to introduce futures on Copper and Platinum on January 26, 2026, further expanding its offerings.
Central to the optimism is Base, Coinbase’s Ethereum layer-2 network, where a potential native token could generate billions in revenue and boost adoption.
Coinbase Tokenize positions the firm as a leader in tokenizing real-world assets like private equity and real estate, combining issuance, custody, and compliance.
“Coinbase is evolving into a broader financial services platform,” Siegenthaler noted, acknowledging near-term crypto volatility but stressing long-term potential amid early adoption stages and supportive U.S. policies under President Trump.
VanEck’s Matthew Sigel shared the upgrades on X, noting fading tax-loss pressures and Base monetization as key drivers.
