| Coinbase (NASDAQ:COIN) | Cantor Fitzgerald: Overweight | $184 |
| Robinhood (NASDAQ:HOOD) | S&P Global consensus: Buy | $119.82 |
No tracked target gives USDE investors less external valuation support than larger crypto-market peers.
Investor read: Friday’s rally closed much of the reported treasury discount. It did not turn USDE into a conventional operating stock. ENA volatility, impairment accounting, token concentration, limited liquidity, warrants, regulation and execution can reopen the gap quickly.
