COIN: ETF Pressure And Product Expansion Will Shape Future Profitability Balance

Narrative Update: Coinbase Global Analysts have trimmed their fair value estimate for Coinbase Global from about US$209 to roughly US$198, reflecting slightly softer volume expectations, modestly lower long term profit margins, and a lower future P/E multiple. They are factoring in recent price target cuts tied to weaker Q4 trading activity, mixed crypto pricing, USDC trends, potential pressure from low cost bitcoin ETFs, and ongoing uncertainty around US market structure legislation, partially offset by continued confidence in Coinbase's product expansion and "everything exchange" ambitions.
