Coinbase Shares Could Gain 106%, Says Wall Street Pro

"Shares of Coinbase ( NASDAQ:COIN) have been moving steadily lower in recent months, now down close to 50% from its all-time peak in July 2025, thanks in part to the retreat in Bitcoin ( CRYPTO:BTC) and the broader crypto markets. Undoubtedly, the previous momentum behind crypto seems to have shifted to the precious metal markets, with gold and silver continuing their record run in the first few weeks of 2026."

"While time will tell if the momentum will shift back to Bitcoin and the crypto stocks, I do think that it's times like these, when investors are more than willing to sell their crypto and crypto-related assets, that it tends to be a fairly decent time to get a good deal. Even if there's still more pain ahead for the crypto trade, buying at times of pessimism can offer more bang for the buck for those who still believe in the asset."

"Could it be that the quantum uncertainty makes Bitcoin less investable than in the past? Though nobody knows when quantum computing tech could "undermine the viability" of the tech underneath the hood of Bitcoin, as BlackRock ( NYSE:BLK) suggested, I do think it's a risk that crypto investors should keep in mind, especially in times when demand could underwhelm. In any case, Coinbase stands out as a crypto stock that might be worth picking up while investors are hitting that panic button."

Coinbase shares have fallen close to 50% from their July 2025 peak, driven largely by Bitcoin's retreat and broader weakness in crypto markets. Investor momentum migrated to precious metals, with gold and silver achieving record gains in early 2026. Escalating geopolitical fears and a growing aversion to speculative securities have favored real gold over digital assets. Widespread selling creates opportunities for buyers who remain confident in crypto despite possible further downside. Quantum computing is cited as a potential long-term theoretical threat to Bitcoin's cryptography, while Coinbase is presented as positioned to adapt to changing conditions.
