Two major U.S. banks have lifted their outlook on Coinbase’s stock this week. Bank of America raised its price target for COIN to $340, while Goldman Sachs moved the stock from neutral to "Buy."

Bank of America Upgrades Coinbase Stock

Bank of America increased its COIN price target to $340 and highlighted several catalysts that could support the shares. The bank described Coinbase’s push beyond pure crypto trading toward stock trading and prediction markets as part of its progression to an "everything exchange." Bank of America also signalled that it expects an eventual native token for Base, Coinbase’s Ethereum layer two chain, and noted that such a token was among the bullish drivers for the company; the bank framed these developments as part of a longer-term growth thesis.

Goldman Sachs' Optimistic Outlook

Goldman Sachs upgraded COIN from neutral to "Buy," saying it had become "selectively more optimistic on crypto." The firm echoed Bank of America’s emphasis on Coinbase expanding into tokenization and prediction markets, seeing those new products as meaningful to the firm’s prospects.

Current Trading Status of COIN

As reported, COIN was trading just above $240 at the close on Friday and remains down more than 46% from its all‑time high. The gap between current prices and the banks’ revised targets underscores the optimism from institutional analysts versus recent market levels.

Почему это важно

Для майнера в России такие апгрейды отражают повышенное внимание институциональных игроков к платформам обслуживания цифровых активов, но напрямую не меняют работу майнингового оборудования. При этом планы Coinbase по расширению продуктовой линейки и обсуждение нативного токена для Base могут постепенно влиять на ликвидность и спрос на разные криптоактивы, что косвенно затрагивает рынок, на котором вы продаёте или храните добытую крипту.

Если у вас небольшая ферма (1–1000 устройств), важно понимать, что банковские прогнозы скорее сигнал о долгосрочных перспективах платформы, а не о краткосрочных изменениях хешрейта или вознаграждений за блок. Тем не менее рост сервисов обмена и появление новых продуктов может изменить удобство вывода или обмена средств в будущем.

Что делать?

  • Следите за официальными новостями Coinbase и регуляторными сообщениями, особенно по запуску нативного токена Base, но не принимайте решения только по объявлениям аналитиков.
  • Проверяйте способы и комиссии вывода средств: расширение сервисов на бирже может менять доступные пары и комиссии для конвертации добытой крипты.
  • Оцените ликвидность и нужды в резерве: если ваша деятельность зависит от быстрой конвертации, планируйте резерв в фиатной или стейбл‑валюте.
  • Поддерживайте эффективность оборудования и контролируйте расходы на электроэнергию, поскольку фундаментальные изменения на биржах обычно приходят медленно и требуют времени для отражения в доходности майнинга.
