"Its monetized crypto offering is significantly more robust than traditional retail brokerage peers, with over 15 tokens available to trade," the analyst wrote of Robinhood. Still, Moley's $30 price target on Robinhood is only a fraction above where the stock closed Thursday. Moley's $250 price target implies that CME stock could add another 13% over the next 12 months. Moley's $35 price target is nearly 5% higher than where the stock closed on Thursday. Shares of Cboe have added 12% this year, trailing the broader market, and Moley's $220 price target implies an additional 9% upside.

Coinbase Global's latest earnings were even weaker than expected, but with an eye toward next week's election and its effect on cryptocurrency markets, many analysts on Wall Street say the exchange is still a buy. Coinbase also warned that an October drop in the price of ether could offset growth in nontrading revenue in the current quarter. Coinbase tumbled as much as 8.6% in early trading Thursday, touching a low of $193.56. The election outcome at one point was widely viewed as a key catalyst for the price of bitcoin. On the earnings call, CEO Brian Armstrong said he expects to see "the most pro-crypto Congress ever" next year.

The Many Links Between Project 2025 and Trump’s WorldFormer president Donald J. Trump has repeatedly claimed that he had nothing to do with Project 2025, the Heritage Foundation’s conservative policy initiative to reshape the federal government. But Project 2025 has numerous ties to Mr. Trump and his campaign, a New York Times analysis has found. L. ZorcJump to the full list of authors, editors and contributorsSpokespeople for Project 2025 have denied that they are advocates for any particular candidate, and Project 2025 has no official ties to the Trump campaign. To limit the appearance of connection, Mr. Trump’s transition team has been excluding prominent people linked to Project 2025 from its preparations. Project 2025 additionally calls for the dismantling of the federal Education Department, which Mr. Trump has also pledged to do.

Piper Sandler says there's too much uncertainty around Coinbase , and investors need to stay away. A lack of regulatory clarity also drove the downgrade, according to analyst Patrick Moley. He lowered his price target to $60 from $65, which implies shares drawing back 24.9% from Monday's close. "However, rising crypto prices have not translated to increased trading volumes for COIN in recent quarters and the timing of a spot bitcoin ETF approval is anyone's guess," said Moley. The analyst expects Coinbase to post its lowest quarterly trading volumes and monthly transacting user totals in over two years for the second quarter.
