Wall Street Analysts Urge Bitcoin Proxies Amidst Binance Hack
Wall Street analysts at Cantor Fitzgerald, TD Cowen, and Compass Point are advising clients to buy crypto-linked stocks like Coinbase, Robinhood, and Strategy, rather than cryptocurrencies, in response to the record-breaking $6.4 billion Binance hack. The analysts argue that the hack is a security failure at Binance, not a threat to the broader market, and that stablecoin issuers have frozen roughly $3 billion of the stolen funds. They suggest that the selloff in Bitcoin is a buying opportunity, pointing to the potential rebound of Coinbase, Robinhood, and Strategy stocks once the panic fades.
