Recently a Citi analyst is reported to be looking over movements of Coinbase stock price. Peter Christiansen – the said analyst from banking giant Citi – initiated a catalyst watch on the stock of Coinbase for a time frame of 90 days.
Several instances occurred recently that, like Coinbase partnership deal with BlackRock, made an impact on crypto exchange price. Additionally, instances like releasing of earning reports in the second quarter of 2022 could also affect the stock price. However, Christiansen’s lookout of Coinbase stock price movement does not include them.
The Merge Makes the Analyst Curious
Chrisitnasen shared a note to the clients noting the details of his observation. He admitted to keeping an eye on the stock price of Coinbase after ‘The Merge’ upgrade. Along with the Ethereum network upgrade, he also said to look over the developments following the possible legislation around stablecoins regulation.
The Merge upgrade would make the transition of Ethereum network from current proof-of-work consensus mechanism to proof-of-stakes. Also the upgrade would represent the annual blockchain rewards revenue worth hundreds of millions USD for Coinbase. It is also said to bring much needed push in the Web 3.0 development, Citi analyst added in the note.
