LATEST: Robinhood Leads as Best Crypto Deregulation Trade, Says Bernstein

Robinhood’s stock surged as Bernstein raised its price target from $30 to $51, reflecting optimism for significant regulatory shifts under a possible Trump-led SEC. Early Wednesday, shares climbed over 2% to $36, driven by prospects of a more crypto-friendly environment. This adjustment underscores the platform’s robust positioning to leverage favorable policies.

Currently, Robinhood offers a modest selection of 19 crypto tokens, but lacks in staking, lending, and derivatives services. However, analysts suggest that a pro-crypto stance by the SEC could allow the company to expand its offerings substantially. This would potentially include advanced services that could dramatically increase its revenue streams.

Further bolstering its strategic position, Robinhood’s recent acquisitions, including Bitstamp and a key European platform, pave the way for introducing staking, stablecoins, and lending services. With easing regulatory barriers, Robinhood is set to capture a larger slice of the expanding crypto market, highlighting its potential for remarkable growth.
