Coinbase Global Inc.’s shares experienced a temporary rally following Donald Trump’s promise to create a national bitcoin reserve, but later declined. Despite this, Oppenheimer analyst Owen Lau believes the increased interest in digital assets could lead to Coinbase joining the S&P 500 and boost its long-term outlook. With a market cap of $58.6 billion, it would rank as the index’s 160th most valuable company. Lau maintains an outperform rating on the stock with a target price of $282.
