New York, January 8, 2026, 15:42 EST — Regular session Cloudflare Inc shares fell about 7% on Thursday, pulling the cybersecurity and content delivery firm lower after a strong close the day before.

Coinbase stock rises on BofA upgrade even as bitcoin slips toward $90,000

NEW YORK, January 8, 2026, 13:16 EST — Regular session Coinbase Global shares were up 1.4% at $249.42 on Thursday after Bank of America upgraded the crypto exchange to “Buy,” giving the stock a company-specific boost in a market still tied to bitcoin’s mood swings.
